Charles J. Spencer, age 83, of Marshall, MI, formerly of Chelsea, MI, passed away on October 29, 2022 at his home, surrounded by loved ones. Chuck was born on May 23, 1939 in Lansing, MI and was later adopted into the home of Charles and Jean (Rae) Spencer.
He served in the US Army, being discharged in 1964. He married Joyce (Romine), and she preceded him in death in 2016. He had lived in the Chelsea area for many years, where he raised his family at Ellsworth Lake. He worked for Dana Corporation, retiring in 1995 after 25 years. Lovingly known as "Pops," he enjoyed spending time with his friends and family and was an avid attendee to his granddaughter's sporting events. He was a dedicated, die hard fan of the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers. He enjoyed trying his luck at Keno and never missed a Fantasy 5 draw.
Chuck was always very social and will be remembered fondly by his friends at "Mike's Place," a group who brought him friendship and companionship at a time when he needed it most.
He is survived by one son, Raymond (Brittney) Spencer of Marshall, his grandchildren, Gracie, Mollie, Ashton, and Addison, and wife, Judy Barnes. In addition to his first wife, Joyce, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Dawn, and son, Chuck.
