Mrs. Carlotta T. McIntosh was born on March 13, 1931 in Jacksonville, Florida, to John and Jewel Tunsill. Carlotta was a beacon of love and resilience. She pursued her passion for education, earning her bachelor's degree from Edward Waters College. As a devoted teacher in Special Education at Ribault High School, she inspired countless students, leaving an enduring legacy of compassion and understanding.

Carlotta is survived by her loving sons, Vaughn Hassan and Charles Glenn; her sister, AnitaGarner; and her brother, Laurence Tunsill (Nellie).She was a proud grandmother to Febury Hassan, Ebony Davis (Brian), Cliff Lawrence (Tiffany), and Zacharias Hassan (Aaminah), and cherished her role as a great-grandmother to 9 and great-great-grandmother to 3.

Her life was enriched by her special friendship with Ms. Lula Alexander. In addition, a large circle of nieces, nephews, and dear friends will forever treasure her warmth, wisdom, and laughter. Carlotta's legacy of love and kindness goes beyond the classroom. Carlotta radiated a
vibrant energy that infused her community with life and connection.

She was passionately engaged with an array of clubs and organizations. From the spirited gatherings of the Live Long and Like It Senior Club to the blooming camaraderie of the Confederated Garden Circle of College Park, and the heartwarming connections forged in the Wider Park Senior Club and Lovely Ladies Social Club, she brought joy and unity wherever shewent.

Her dedication to civic engagement shone brightly as the long-serving Chair of the Voter Registration Ministry, ensuring that every voice was heard and valued. Carlotta was also a profound presence in the National Council of Negro Women, the Citizens Planning Advisory Committee, and the Sheriff's Advisory Council, where her insights and compassion made a lasting impact. Over the years, she took countless young minds under her wing, tutoring children with patience and love, nurturing the next generation with the same spirit that defined her life.

Our Carlotta was more than a community member; she was a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change. She co-spearheaded the successful protest effort that resulted in a class action lawsuit that benefited the black community in Jacksonville where homes had been constructed on toxic landfills.

Her strength will resonate in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. She leaves behind a tapestry of beautiful memories that will be cherished forever.

Rest peacefully our dear beloved matriarch. Your light will continue to guide us as a family and as a community.
