Charles was born August 24, 1940, in Ada, Oklahoma, to Sidney and Wanda (Lindsey) Green.
His journey began in the close-knit community of Ada, where he ultimately graduating from Latta High School around 1958. On a beautiful day in May 1960, Charles was united in marriage with Karly Rae Brashear, and together they celebrated a remarkable 64 years of love and partnership. Their bond was a testament to devotion and mutual respect, nurturing a family built on warmth and togetherness.
For many years, Charles dedicated himself professionally as the meat market manager for Safeway, a role that showcased his strong work ethic and commitment. Following his retirement, he embraced a new challenge as a pharmacy technician at Walmart, where his kindness and helpfulness were felt by many.
