On Sunday, March 23, her husband, Dr. José Grünberg; her children, Dr. Jorge Grünberg and Carolina Bonaldi; and her grandchildren, Victoria, Florencia, and Matías, marked this anniversary with a private gathering at the Israeli Cemetery in La Paz, together with family members, friends, and colleagues from Universidad ORT Uruguay.

At the ceremony, a headstone was unveiled bearing the inscription: "After enduring the darkest night, you brought light into all our lives. You lived without fear or resentment. You built a close-knit family that will always remember you. Your beloved husband, your children, and your grandchildren."

Charlotte's legacy lives on in everyone who had the privilege of knowing her and learning from her example.
