Spontaneous Brilliance & Inspiration

Our estate sale this week is the estate of Charlotte LeVois & Frederick (Fred) Alan Sternberg.  Charlotte’s parents were originally from Louisiana and subsequently moved to southeast Texas where she grew up and graduated from Beaumont High School.  Graduating from Southwestern University in Georgetown, earning a degree in fine art, a sister in the Alpha Delta Pi sorority.  Charlotte specialized in paintings, producing hundreds of portraits, landscapes, and other scenes.  She also created many designs for the Enid Collins of Texas handbag company.  She worked as a graphic designer for USAA in San Antonio, her designs were much in demand among the company’s high brass.  Charlotte created beautiful things for the various churches she attended over the years.  Travis Baptist is now the home for a remarkable set of four ambitious paintings she made in her later years, depicting important moments in the life of Christ.  Charlotte was a member of the Alice Music Study Club and the Alice Art League. 

Fred was a graduate of Holy Cross High School in San Antonio.  He worked for many years in the insurance industry as a salesman for Sentry and later as co-owner then owner of his own insurance offices in San Antonio for many years.  He originally came to Corpus to work with Berney Seal’s real estate firm.  He was an avid pilot, owning several small planes over the years. They both absolutely loved to take cruises.  He and Charlotte were longtime members of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary in Corpus, undertaking many, missions for Flotilla 7-1 of District 8CR.

This sale will be a little different than the usual estate sale.  Thursday evening sale will be primarily for the Home Owners and those on our email list that contact us ahead of time to attend the sale on Thursday.  Friday and Saturday will be open to the public.

A few tidbits will be that the parking of course will be a little tricky.  However, we have planned with the Management of Marina del Sol to accommodate as many customers as possible at any given time.  Extra parking can be at the second entrance to Cole Park where the parking lot goes down a little ways and backs Marina del Sol.  There will be someone at the gate to allow entry to the property and you will be taken by staff to the actual condo.  This will all be worth it as this sale is packed.  Soon the condominium will be up for sale.  Your patience will be greatly appreciated as we proceed with the process of the sale.  Please feel free to either text or call with questions if we don’t answer just leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

 A great life with many memories.  We look forward to seeing you again.  Also, please feel free to share this email with your friends.  Sampling of Items for Sale:

In addition, we would love to say thank you to all of you who have been calling, texting, emailing concerns over all that we have been through as a family these past couple of months.  We are happy to report that our daughter in law is doing great and so is our newest grandson.  The passing of Joe’s mom was unexpected of course but we were grateful to have had many family and friends support in all of it.  We are back and moving forward again and have revamped a little but nonetheless are happy to be back and have many great ideas and plans for our future in the business.
