Charles was born on Dec. 14, 1942, in Greene, the son of Kenneth and Bernadine (Leider) Reams. He graduated from Rockford High School.
Charles was united in marriage to Nancy Gibson on May 29, 1964, at the Wesleyan United Methodist Church in Bristow.
Charles met his future wife at his first job at the Greene Creamery. He later did factory work at Oliver/White Farm and Con Agra until his retirement. After living in Marble Rock most of his life, Charles moved to Charles City in 2004.
Charlie was a simple yet giving man. He enjoyed a lot of the local music festivals, especially Bluegrass. His other interests were auctions and rummage sales. He had very eclectic taste from Avon bottles to whiskey decanters to anything unique or unusual.
Charlie enjoyed spending time with his family, especially with his grandchildren, and an occasional practical joke with his brother-in-law, Mel.
Those left to honor his memory include his children, Terry (Jessica) Reams, of Parkersburg, and Tracy (Mark) Tomlinson, of Kensett; grandchildren, Tyler, Lyndsey, Ryen and Dylen Reams; sister, Charlotte Reams of Charles City; in-laws, Lynda (Mel) Primmer, Gary (Louann) Gibson and Robert Junker; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Nancy in 2004; and daughter, Tina Reams.

Terry & Tracy,
So sorry to hear about your father. We will always remember Charlie as being such a simple person. He was a quiet and reserved man and yet he didn't need to say a whole lot for you to know how kind and gentle of a person he was. I know he doted on and took great pride in his grandchildren. Now he is back with the love of his life and he doesn't hurt anymore. Keep the good memories alive because that's something that will never go away...
