Charles Lindberg Obituary

Charles D. Lindberg passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday, February 15, 2022, at the age of 95. Charles was a native of New Orleans and a resident of Metairie. He was preceded in death by his second wife, Ramona Farrington Lindberg; his parents, Col. Irving A. Lindberg, Sr., and Ruby Warren Lindberg; his brother, Irving A. Lindberg, Jr.; nephew, Eric L. Lindberg; and his first wife, Helen Lindberg. He is survived by his nephew, Irving A. Lindberg, III (Lydia) of Birmingham, AL; his stepson, Thomas Farrington (Mary); and step daughter-in-law, Deborah Farrington. He is also survived by his step grandchildren: Christine Farrington, Eric Farrington (Emily), and Mark Farrington (Kristen). Charles was a proud graduate of Southwestern University (ULL). He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was a retired auditor for the customs department of the U.S. Treasury and the State of Louisiana. In his prime, he enjoyed playing tennis, ballroom dancing, and traveling around the globe. Anyone that knew him knew that he was the gentlest, kindest, humble, and patient person to everyone he met. Charles and the family are forever grateful to his loving and caring health care provider, Cherie LaGrange, for her devotion to him over the past 4 years.
