Charles Mills Obituary

Charlie was the first born to Jim and Margaret Mills on May 19, 1950 at the Exeter Memorial Hospital. Charlie was the first of three boys raised in Lemon Cove, Calif. Charlie attended Sequoia Union elementary, Exeter Union High School, College of Sequoias and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where he graduated with a degree in agriculture.

After marrying his late wife Judy Rhea Waymire they would eventually settle in Elderwood where they raised their three sons. Charlie's love for the back country, where he felt closest to the Lord, bloomed during his high school years where he worked during the summer for the California Department of Forestry and blossomed when he and wife Judy ran the Horse Corral Pack Station for many years.

Charlie was presided in death by his mother and father, wife Judy, and brother Dave. Is survived by his brother Brad and family, son Jim, son Jacob, son Matt and their families. There will be a memorial service March 2024 at 2 p.m. at the Foothill Bible Church, 37721 Rd 200, in Elderwood, Calif.
