HAMPSTEAD — Batson, Charles Lee (Chuck), 87, of Moseley, VA went home to be with the Lord on September 2, 2024.
He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Joyce Batson, and their children: Doug Batson (Terri), David Batson (Julia), and Donna Rainer (Russ); grandchildren: Kevin, Benjamin, Anika, Ryan, Scott, Catherine, Bryce, Michael, Daniel, and David; and great-grandchildren: Vincent, Hailey, Colin, Robin, Harrison, Caleb, and Graham.
Born in Whittier, CA, he was the only son of the late Jesse and Jeanne Batson. Chuck enjoyed a long career with AT&T before retiring in 1989. He will be remembered for his love of music and N.C. BBQ, and for his quiet, patient, and wise presence. A private graveside service will be held at Barlow Vista Baptist Church in Hampstead, N.C., where Chuck and Joyce spent 20 wonderful years of their retirement.
Thank you for not sending flowers. A memorial contribution can be made to Samaritan’s Purse.
“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” (Philippians 3:20-21)
