Obituary for Charlie Lee Wingo
Charlie Lee Wingo was born on September 28, 1938 in Jetersville, Virginia to Richard and Violet Wingo. He departed this life on Thursday, March 6, 2014.
He graduated from Russell Grove High School and shortly after moved to Yonkers, New York and then East Orange, New Jersey. There he married his first love Maxine Jeter on September 22, 1962. Not long after the birth of their first child, Cedric Lucian Wingo, Charlie joined the Army where he served his country for 2 years. After leaving the Army, his second child, Roger Douglas Wingo was born in 1965.
He was employed at West Vaco for 27 years and retired in 1991. He continued to work several other jobs, including Wal-Mart where he worked for six years until his health began to decline. Charlie had a special way of doing everything and celebrated his life “his way or no way”.
