Charles Berry Obituary
Charles Ronald Berry went to be with the Lord on June 3, 2019. Charles was born June 10, 1927, in Waco, Texas. He graduated from North Texas State in 1951 and went directly into the Army, ready to serve his country. Charles was trained in Morse code in Radio Operators School in the Army Security Agency. He served in South Korea, five miles south of the 38th parallel. Charles was very proud of his service in the military and had great respect for those who have served and are now serving.

Following their retirement, Charles and Anna moved back to Waco where they were active members of Columbus Avenue Baptist Church. Charles enjoyed participating with his Sunday School class in various ministries. He particularly enjoyed the homeless ministry where he cooked and served breakfast to the homeless.
Charles and Anna eventually moved north to Denton, Texas. They were members of Southmont Baptist Church where they have many dear friends. They enjoyed spending time with their daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren.
Charles was preceded in death by his wife, Anna Rose Berry, parents Cecil and Mildred Berry and his brother, William Berry.
Survivors include, daughter Susan Baker and son-in-law James Baker, and daughter Cindy Smith and son-in-law Darrell Smith. Grandchildren include Michael and Shelley Butler, Jimmy Baker, Kristen (Smith) and Chris Anderson and Vanessa and Jeff Zimmerman.

Several years ago I really enjoyed having Charles and Anna in the Southmont Senior Adult Choir (which I was privileged to direct). They both were always such nice, polite, Christ-like people. God bless all of the family in your loss. "To be absent from the body is the be present with the Lord." -- 2 Cor. 5:8
