Charles William Watson, 81, of Groesbeck, went home to be with the Lord following his lengthy battle with illness, on Sunday, February 14, 2016. Visitation will be frp, 6 to 8 p.m., Monday, February 15, 2016, at Groesbeck Funeral Home. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m., Tuesday, February 16, 2016, in the Groesbeck Funeral Home Chapel, with Reverend Ben Watson officiating, and music by Steve Watson. Burial will follow in Wortham Cemetery.
Charles was born in Wortham, Texas, to the late James Benjamin Watson and Lela Rebecca (Chaesse) Watson, where he grew up and graduated from high school.
Charles worked at A. Brandt (Abco) in Mexia in the furniture factory for 20 years. He was very talented in being able to make objects from seeing a sample, a skill he used in making furniture on the job, as well as later in life in woodworking as a hobby.
Charles was united in marriage with Marjorie Ann Reese on June 22, 1962. They were married in the Bethel Baptist Church in Groesbeck. Charles called her "Sweetheart" all of their 53 years together and he was her one and only love.
Charles and Marjorie lived a few years in Wortham and then Mexia, before moving to Groesbeck where they made their home the rest of his life. After Charles’ work at the furniture factory, he worked at the Mexia State School as maintenance supervisor, until retiring after 23 years.
Charles was an avid deer hunter and a very avid fisherman. He loved to jug-fish in Lake Limestone and Richland Chambers, with family or by himself. He fished no matter the weather, and once, he was almost caught during a sudden flood. He knew how to catch the "big ones." He especially liked fishing with his pole for the trout at the Springfield Dam. He caught and cleaned, and Marjorie cooked his catch.
Charles was always willing to help anyone. He was very friendly, never meeting a stranger, and he liked to joke with people. He was a man who liked to always stay busy. He raised a big garden, as long as his health permitted, and enjoyed sharing with friends and neighbors.
Charles was a member of the Victory Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon.
He was preceded in death by brothers: Elmo Watson, Elbert Watson, and Bennie Frank Watson; and sisters, Gladys Lansford, and Norma Jean Fisk.
Survivors include his wife, Marjorie Watson, of Groesbeck; sons, Clifford Randel Watson, of Groesbeck, and David Brian and wife, Laura (Sutton) Watson, of Groesbeck; grandsons, Cody Watson, of Mexia, and Brian Watson, of Waco; brother, Freddie Watson and wife, Maide, of Forest Glade; and a host of nieces and nephews.
