Charles Harrison

Mr. Charles Harrison, age 92, of Opp, Alabama passed away Saturday, October 8, 2022 in the Opp Health & Rehab.

Charles was born March 22, 1930 in Geneva County, Alabama to his late parents, Pearlie & Brack Harrison. His parents were tenant farmers, so the family moved around quite a bit as children and young adults. Charles settled down in Toledo, Ohio where he proudly worked and retired from Chrysler-Jeep Automotive after thirty-three years of service. He was always proud of his Alabama roots; therefore, it was only fitting that he and Pat move back to Alabama after his retirement.

Mr. Harrison is survived by his wife of fifty-four years, Patricia Ann Schenavar Harrison; daughter, Mary Evelyn Lanning & husband, Joe; step-daughter, Deborah Halsey; step-sons, James Smith & Marcy, William Smith & Janet, Randal Smith & Marcia and Christopher Slomkowski & Beth; step-daughter-in-law, Joyce Smith; brothers, Winston Harrison, Nick Harrison and Don Harrison; 21 grandchildren and numerous great & great-great grandchildren. Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, David Harrison; sisters, Ouida White, Fleeta Schadenfroh and Juanita Sigman; brothers, Wilmer Harrison and Winfred Harrison; and step-son, Lawrence Smith.

A rosary service will begin at 6:00 pm Tuesday, October 11, 2022 at Wyatt Funeral Home with visitation following until 8:00 pm.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 am Wednesday, October 12, 2022 at Christ the King Catholic Church with entombment following in Peaceful Acres Memorial Gardens.
