Charlie Joe Walters

Charlie Joe Walters, 82, of Moberly passed away quietly November 24, 2021 at his home.

He was born in Tulip, MO on August 3, 1939 to Ottis Walters and Pearl Meyers Walters. Charlie grew up around the Monroe County area and attended school in Madison. He worked for several years as a backhoe operator for Machetta’s Tree Service and Excavating. After retiring, he took a part time job with Moberly Area Community College as a security guard.

In April of 1975 he married Sheila Gillispie and the two spent many wonderful years together.

Charlie loved to go to the races, liked playing rummy on the computer and enjoyed the times he could meet the fellows for coffee in the mornings at Hardee’s. He was laid back and easy going.
