Charles Waldridge Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Charles was strong-willed and stubborn at times, but he had an enormous heart and a wonderful sense of humor. He was generous, loyal, and brave. He was clever and filled to the brim with knowledge gained from all his life experiences ranging from drywalling, knife collecting, pulling and showing horses, chasing pigeons, or rabbit hunting. He was a young soul at heart.
Charles was preceded in death by his parents, Noah and Minnie Waldridge, his loving wife of 42 years, Georgia Ann Waldridge, his son, Christopher Evan Waldridge, and a grandson, Christopher Jacob Stevens. He was the youngest of 13 children; preceding him in death are Emmie Waldridge, Lena Waldridge, H W Waldridge, Harold Waldridge, Grinston Waldridge, Maggie Burgin, Mary Rogers, Margie Barnes, Virginia Peach, Lillian Murphy, and Ann Franklin.
Charles is survived by his sister, Anna Louis Jamison of Mt. Eden, and three children, Gena Bruner (Max) of Shelbyville, Tammy Stevens (David) of Taylorsville, and Chuck Waldridge (Tammy King) of Mt.Eden, his grandchildren, Nikki (Chucky), Evan (Taylor), Chelsea, Caleb, and Chase, his great-grandchildren Deion, Teiony, Teagin, Laiken, Parker, and one great-great-grandchild, Aria.
He will be remembered for all the heart he shared with his family and friends. He truly loved each of them- and if you knew him, you knew it. When his time came, he carried himself with dignity and strength and was full of love for those who went before him.
