Charlie Cammack Poole Knowles
August 5, 1931 - September 3, 2017
Eatonton, GA- Following a brief illness, Mrs. Charlie Knowles entered the nearer presence of God on September 3, 2017.
Born Charlie Mae Cammack, in Soperton, Georgia, on August 5, 1931, Charlie lived most of her life in Macon, moving to Putnam County in 2001, when she married Pat Knowles; the beautiful gift of a second marriage, following her forty-five years of marriage to O. H. Poole, who died in 1994.
"Miss Charlie," as she was known by many, was a faithful member of Log Cabin Baptist Church in Macon for many years, and, for the past fifteen years, of Crossroads Baptist Church in Eatonton. A loyal volunteer at Putnam General Hospital for the past decade, "Pa," as her grandchildren named and called her, lifted the lives of many people in many places with her gentle and joyful words and ways.
Preceded in death by her parents, Charlie and Effie Cammack, her infant twin brother, and her son-in-law, Ron Michael, she is survived by her sister and brother, Nelle Shepard and Donald Cammack, her daughter, Rhonda Poole Michael, her son and daughter-in-law, Chuck and Marcia Poole, step-sons Billy Knowles and David Knowles, step-daughter Libby Knowles; her grandchildren, and their spouses, Kimberly and Chris McLeod, Matthew and Kim Michael, Josh and Bett Poole, and Maria and James Madden, and fourteen great-grandchildren; each marriage and birth redrawing the map of Pa's pride and joy.
A memorial service will be held at Crossroads Baptist Church on September 6, 2017, at 11 o'clock; preceded by a visitation which will begin at 10 o'clock. Graveside services will be held at 2:30 o'clock at Macon Memorial Park, 3969 Mercer University Drive, Macon Georgia 31204.
The family wishes to express our deep gratitude to the caregivers at Agape Hospice, to Dr. John King, and to the members, and pastor, of Crossroads Baptist Church, for their many kindnesses to our family.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial gifts be given to Crossroads Baptist Church Building Fund, 106 S. Wesley Chapel Road, Eatonton GA 31024.

Macon Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery has charge of the arrangements.

Charlie was my second mom. No she was no stepmom,maybe at first. But she became a real mother to me. I am so thankful God brought her in to my life. Charlie and daddy were the best,mostly opposite, but funny as heck.Right now tears flow some of sadness because I can't talk to her. But also tears of joy for knowing her,and mostly for her love. She made and still makes we want to be a better person. Always ask what would Charlie do? Lol. She was truly a gift from above.

Did not know Charlie very well.. I talked to her on phone very often at C&S bank and she was always ready to help, upbeat, and a joy to talk with. So sorry for your loss.

To the family, My heartfelt sympathy. I had the privilege of working with Charlie at C&S Bank in Macon, GA several years ago. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone she knew. This world is a better place because it was graced by her presence. Charlie, God Bless You on your Homegoing. My love to the family.

Rhonda, Again let me express my condolences for this great loss. I just want you and Chuck to know that the years I spent at Log Cabin are very special in my heart of hearts. That is in a large part due to the love that your whole family showed to my family and all who came across your paths. I look forward to the day when we all are gathered on the other side with our Savior. May the Lord give you comfort in these days and draw you closer to each other and to Himself. Love you.

Log Cabin Church and the lovely people there will always be a part of my teenage and young adult life. I would not be the Christian I am today if it had not been for the men, women, boys, and girls who loved Jesus and were serious about their faith. Mrs. Charlie Poole (Knowles) was one of those women! I thank her for loving me and my sister and all the the children of Log Cabin Baptist. Only now is she aware of the full impact she made in our lives. Seeing Jesus face to face and being joined by those who have gone on before - what joy she must be experiencing. Blessings on the Poole and Knowles families! Love, Danna Smith Dean
