Charles Eugene Webster

Charles Eugene Webster went to be with his Lord and ended his battle with cancer on March 30, 2005 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Mr. Webster was born October 10, 1943 to Henry and Marie (Holliway) Webster in Bowman, Missouri. He graduated from Winola High School, Viola, Illinois in 1963. He was a 10 year veteran of the United States Navy; completed 2 tours in Viet-Nam and 2 tours in the United States as a Military Policeman. He was honorably discharged September 1973. He continued his education and in 1976 he graduated from Yakima Valley College, Yakima, Washington with an Associates Degree in Police Science. He was a Police Officer, First Class for the Selah Police Department, Selah, Washington, from 1973 to 1979; the Chief Investigator for Mercer County Sheriff's Department, Aledo, Illinois. In 1981 he became the Police Chief for Locust Grove Police Department. Charles Webster met the love of his life, Wanda €œSusie€ Mc Elyea and they were united in marriage September 2, 1982 in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Charles and his wife moved to Glenpool coming from Dallas, Texas 5 years ago. He was an avid Dallas Cowboy's Football fan and a member of Hill Haven Church of God. Mr. Webster enjoyed watching and got great pleasure seeing his grandsons play for the Jenks Bronze Football team. Mr. Webster was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Marie Webster and his brother, Bob Webster. He is survived by his loving wife: Susie Webster; son: Bill Eddy, Jr. and his wife, Sunny of Bixby, OK; 2 brothers: Herb Webster and his wife, Beverly of Kansas City, MO, Jim Webster and his wife, Norma, Las Cruces, NM. Mr. Webster was the proud €œGrandpa€ of Matthew Dalton Eddy, Joshua Eddy and Alyssa Parker.
We called him Chuck, Honey, Grandpa and Papa Chuck; Grandpa to Matt and Alyssa and Papa Chuck to Josh. Regardless of what we called him, his 61 years passed too quickly. He ran the race courageously all the way to God's arms. God carried Chuck through so many battles, some he won and some he lost. His trust in Christ never wavered. We are strong because he showed us strength. We have love, because he loved us and we have courage because he was brave and we will endure because his faith never faltered. We will miss your smile, your laughter, your generosity and your hugs. While we rest in the assurance that your commitment to Christ has taken you into everlasting presence, we wonder at the fairness of it all and the €œwhy€ and €œwhat ifs'€ and we reel under the crushing grief. May God give us the strength to persevere? We will cherish you always and you will remain in our hearts forever. The family wishes to thank Dr. Greg Rhon of Dallas, Texas who started this long journey with us; Dr. Ron Crow, extended family member and Dr. Barclay Sappington who had a loving and guiding hand. We also thank Dr. Steven Buck and the staff at Cancer Care. We thank all of our family for their prayers and support. We thank Bishop Henry Schneider of the Hill Haven Church of God and all of the members for their support and prayers. I also want to thank my personal friend Janey Gill and her husband Gary for all the meals and prayers and hugs. We give thanks to our extended family at Town Village. Tulsa, director Wanda Inman and all of the staff and wonderful residents who prayed so many prayers for us and gave hugs and encouragement along the way.
Chuck is now in heaven encircled in God's love with the wind to his back and the sun shining on his face. He is smiling down on us as we think of his gracious wit, his infectious ability to always find the positive in all of life's moments and challenges. One's short time on earth is never enough yet earthly years and heavenly microseconds will allow us to be reunited with God's will. Thank you Chuck for the love and protection you gave every day. There is no way I can ever sufficiently express my undying love. All Our Love: Susie, Bill, Sunny, Matt, Josh, Alyssa, Arlene.
