Charles Edward Oney

who passed away on Saturday, June6, 2026 at the age of 76. While our hearts mourn his passing, we give

thanks for a life marked by love, service, hard work, and deep devotion to his family.

Charles proudly served his country in the United States Army from 1969 to 1971 as a Field

Medic, achieving the rank of Specialist. In this role, he faithfully cared for others,

demonstrating the compassion, steadiness, and servant's heart that defined his life.

On June 7, 1969, Charles married the love of his life, Marcia Oney. Together they built a life

centered on commitment, perseverance, and family - a partnership that created a lasting

legacy through generations.

Charles was a hardworking provider who took great pride in his career. From 1978 to 1989,

he worked at the The Ice Plant in Willard, OH. He was later transferred to Monett, MО,

where he continued his work and dedication. He eventually retired in 2008 from ADF in

Verona, serving as a Maintenance Manager. True to his nature, Charles was known as

someone who could fix anything broken and solve any problem.

He also had a natural talent for building and repairing things. If something was broken,

Charles could fix it. If something needed to be built, he could make it. He believed in doing

things the right way and took pride in creating things that would last.

Outside of work, Charles loved the outdoors, especially the quiet mornings and long stories

that came with fishing and hunting season. Whether the day brought success or simply a

good story to tell later, he valued the peace and memories that came with it.

Above all else, Charles loved his family. His greatest joy was time spent together -sharing

meals, stories, laughter, and life's everyday moments. His steady presence, quiet humor,

and willingness to help anyone in need made him a source of strength and comfort to all

who knew him.

Charles is survived by his beloved wife, Marcia Oney; his children: Michelle and Thomas

Scott III of Willard, Ohio; Gloria and Ryan Jenkins of Aurora, Missouri; Tamara and Greg

Barton of Aurora, Missouri; and Charlotte and Mitch Etheridge of Aurora, Missouri. He was a

proud grandfather to 14 grandchildren and many, many great-grandchildren, each of whom

brought him tremendous joy.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Chester and Maudie Oney; his brother, Vernon

Oney; and his sister, Hester Mae.

Charles loved the outdoors, but even more than that, he cherished the opportunity to share

those experiences and his passion for the outdoors with the next generation.

In his honor, spend time outdoors, start a project you've been putting off, lend a helping

hand to someone in need, and gather your family close - the things Charles loved most.

Though he will be deeply missed, his legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the things he

built, and the family he loved so well.
