Charles W. Little, 78, of Norman, passed away peacefully at home with family by his side on Sunday, September 14, 2025. He was born October 30, 1946, in Muncie, Indiana to Ira and Kathryn (Holten) Little.

Charlie grew up in Indiana and graduated from Southside High School. In 1971, he married Anna Katherine (Johnson). He worked for many years as an automotive worker at the Chevrolet plant in Muncie, Indiana, and relocated to Oklahoma in 1985, where he continued to work at General Motors until his retirement.

Charlie was a proud member of United Auto Workers and a longtime member of Goodrich Memorial United Methodist Church. He was always fixing something and loved to be outdoors fishing whenever he had the chance. Most of all, Charlie loved his family. He was deeply involved in his children's lives – whether it was waking up early to take them to swim practice, helping with paper routes, or volunteering alongside them with Special Olympics, he was always there with steady support and encouragement.

Friends and family remember Charlie as a kind man who always had a smile ready and was always willing to help anyone in need. His warmth and generosity touched everyone who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his siblings Paul Little, Helen Little, Beverly Hudson, Lewis Hudson, Bill Hudson, Linda Hudson and Carolyn Little, and his granddaughter Zoey Paige Little. Charlie is survived by his wife of 53 years, Kaye; four children, Janice (Alfred James), Scott, Amber, and Samantha; and three beloved grandchildren, A.J. James, Kohl James, and McKenzie James.

In keeping with his wishes, no formal service will be held. Online condolences may be shared at www.HavenbrookFuneralHome.com.
