Charles Hatley

Charles Hampton Hatley, 80, of Oakboro, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, November 3, 2021.

Mr. Hatley was born July 4, 1941 to the late Edgar Charles and Auta Mae Tarlton Hatley. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his son, Eddie Charles Hatley.

Charles was a member of Barbee's Grove Baptist Church.  He was an honest, hardworking man who enjoyed farming, sharing his crops with others and spending time with his family, especially his four grandchildren.  He believed in doing the right thing and telling it like it is.  His beloved wife, his family and his church family were the most important things in the world to him.  After a short, but courageous battle with cancer, heaven has gained another angel.
