Married Lura Jean Clay on 4 Feb 1955, in Alabama.
Obituary:
Rev. Charles Lindberg Munroe, age 92, of Carrollton, GA, entered Heaven’s gates, October 21, 2020.
He was born September 20, 1928, in Muscadine, AL, to the late Howard and Beatrice Turner Munroe.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Jean Clay Munroe; a sister and brother-in-law, Dorothy Jean and Eddie Guger; and a brother, Jimmy Munroe.
Affectionately known to all as Bro. Charles, he served in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict where earned the distinguished Purple Heart Medal.
He was a salesman while living in Birmingham, AL, and went on to pastor for more than fifty years. He loved people; but, none more than his beloved wife, Jean. Having been diagnosed with MS at the age of 19, he cared for her even after she was bedridden for 26 years of their 52 years of marriage.
He loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Bro. Charles was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which he overcame and continued to pastor for many years. After his health would no longer allow him to pastor, he taught Sunday School. There is no counting the number of people who have a personal relationship with Jesus and are going to Heaven, thanks to his witness and testimony.
His three daughters were the apple of his eye. The sun rose and set on his daughters and the beautiful grandchildren they gave him.
He is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law, Teresa and Ricky Atkins and Charlene and Larry League, all of Carrollton, and Cheryl and Chris Bass, of Mexico; seven grandchildren, Chastity Moreland, Shane Wilson, Heather and Chris Jeffers, Jarod Atkins, Tiffany and Jeremy Dunphy, Derek and Kelsey League, and Brooke and Darren Sharp; 11 great-grandchildren, Andrew Moreland, Brayden Swan, Austin Wilson, Ashlyn Wilson, Shanna Wilson, Chelsea Jeffers, Wesley Jeffers, Henley Dunphy, Lucas League, Jonah League, and Wyatt Sharp; a sister and brother-in-law, Lilla Mae and Lester Norton, of Muscadine; and a brother and sister-in-law, Calvin and Ann Munroe, of Oxford, AL.
Because of the COVID-19 virus, the family has requested an immediate family-only graveside service with Rev. John Lemmings and Rev. Alton Stamey officiating. Masks will be required.
Gentlemen serving as pallbearers will be Shane Wilson, Jarod Atkins, Ricky Atkins, Derek League, Jeremy Dunphy, and Chris Bass.
We will broadcast the service live on Miller Funeral Home’s Facebook page, Friday, October 23rd, at 11:00 AM.
Interment will follow in Kansas Baptist Church Cemetery with Haralson County Veterans Association providing military honors.
Miller Funeral Home (Tallapoosa, GA) is in charge of the arrangements.
