Mrs. Charlsie D. "Coco" Pasetta, 90, of Sharpsburg, Ga., formerly of Covington, died at Avalon Health Care in Newnan, Ga., on June 18. She was born in Lithonia on Sept. 13, 1919, to the late Gerald Austin and Thelma Louise "Nanny" Williams Austin. She was a photographer for Jones and Presnell Studios. The many children she photographer had difficulty pronouncing her name, hence they called her "Coco."

She is survived by her sons, John Piazza and Carl Piazza, and her daughter, Carlene Deese; sister-in-law Ruth Lawrence; 20 grandchildren; two great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews.
