Misc. Notes
Charles L. White, age 66 of Kenosha, went home to be with his Lord on Tuesday, December 23, 2008 at United Hospital Systems – Kenosha Campus.
Born on June 22, 1942 in Elberton, GA he was the son of the late Mannie Lee and Sylvia (Raiford) White. He attended Elberton Public Schools, was a 1960 graduate of Blackwell Memorial High School and attended Fort Valley State College in Fort Valley, GA. At an early age, Charles joined Springfield Baptist Church where he was baptized and served as a Deacon. He relocated to Kenosha from Elberton in 1962. On August 5, 1967, he married the love of his life, Sandra Spann, in Kenosha.
Charles proudly served his country as a Specialist 5 with the Army from February 2, 1965 until February 1, 1971. He served in Vietnam and was also awarded two Army Commendation Medals.
For 35 years Charles was employed with Case New Holland as a machinist and was formerly employed with American Motors and Jelco Bus Company. His memberships include the NAACP, the Kenosha VFW Junker-Ball Post #1865 and Machinist Local #180. Serving the Lord filled Charles with a sense of purpose. He was a devoted and dedicated member of Coleman Chapel AME Church. At Coleman, he was a former Trustee, a member of the Usher Board, a Layman and a member of the Male Chorus.
Charles enjoyed working on cars and was a member of the Ponyoka Motorcycle Club. He was also involved with various youth groups, and will always be remembered as a kindhearted man who selflessly put others before himself. He was always willing to help those in need.
A family bands together now to say goodbye as Charles is greeted by his Lord and Savior with open arms and a loving “Welcome Home.” His memory will forever be remembered and cherished by his wife, Sandra; two daughters, Camilla (Randell) Alexander of Indianapolis, IN and Simone Wilhoit of Kenosha; his special “son”, Charles Wallace, Jr.; two sisters, Eunice White and Sandra (James) Lewis, both of Atlanta, GA; a brother, Edmond T.
