Elisabeth Chartier

Elisabeth Chartier, 85, of Port Huron, passed away Thursday, May 1, 2025.

She was born May 27, 1939 in Fürth, Germany.

Elisabeth came to America from Germany after falling in love with the man who would become her husband, who was stationed in Fürth. After settling in her new home she learned English, became a citizen, and proudly obtained her driver’s license. She loved animals, gardening, and flowers-- but most of all she loved to dance. Named the “Dancing Queen,” her dancing always encouraged others to join. Elisabeth was a brave and caring woman who went out of her way to help others, even attempting to save the life of a stranger. Above all, she cared for her family including her many dogs that she had through the years.

She is survived by her children, John (Rhonda) Chartier, Maryann Orton, and Diane Chartier; grandchildren, Joseph and Deanne Dippre, Brandon and Jordyn Chartier, Billy Orton, and Samantha Stone and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother, Sophie Huber; her daughter Margit Dippre and a host of siblings across the world.
