Charles Mahan

Charles R. Mahan, 80, passed away on Sunday, August 14, 2016 at Sullivan County Community Hospital. Charlie retired from General Motors, truck and bus plant in Indianapolis. He spent his retirement in a boat on local strip pits or on horseshoe pitching leagues. He was preceded in death by his parents Tilman and Vashti Parr Mahan, daughter Julie, a brother Arlie, sisters Reba and Miriam, two grand sons Travis Griffith and Dustin Shroyer, and great grandson Elijah.

Survivors include his wife of 52 years Loretta Galenski Mahan, children Teresa (Cris) Chubb, Glen (Janette) Barr, Anita (Steve) Dupre, Dennis (Trisha) Mahan, a sister Sharon (Phil) Croft, 9 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.

Charlie will always be remembered for always knowing the best fishing pit and tying the best lures. Per Charlie's wishes there will be no services and the family will celebrate his life, in Charlie's words, "If they didn't see me when I was alive it's too late".

The Mahan family would like to extend our gratitude to Dr. Matthew Dupre, Dr. E.S. Dupre and all the great staff at Sullivan Co. Community Hospital, and especially Julie Barr Libke.

Holmes Memorial Chapel assisted with arrangements.
