Charles Glenn Barger Sr

Charles Glenn Barger, Sr., 91, of Lighthouse Point, Florida, passed away on March 26, 2026, at his residence in Lighthouse Point, Florida. Born on February 7, 1935, in Mooresville, North Carolina, to Rev. Glenn L. Barger and Mary Fisher Barger, Charles lived a full and accomplished life marked by dedicated service to his profession, community, country, and family. A respected pharmacist, business owner, and veteran, he served in the United States Army and owned Pompano Pharmacy for over 50 years serving his clients and community with care and integrity.

After graduating high school in Concord, NC, Charles attended UNC, Chapel Hill, where he studied pharmacy and was a member of Kappa Psi Fraternity. Charles graduated from UNC’s Eshelman School of Pharmacy in 1957, served in the army, and met the love of his life, Jean, in 1960. Charles and Jean were married in 1961 in Durham, NC. They had three children and moved to Lighthouse, Point, FL in 1963 where they built an incredible life together. When Charles was not working at the pharmacy, he could be found fishing on his fishing boat, the Charlie B, off of Pompano Beach, in the Florida Keys, or in the Bahamas.

In 1974, Charles and Jean discovered their home away from home in Lake Toxaway, NC where they spent summers with their children and friends. Charles loved this oasis in the mountains most where he enjoyed the cool mountain air boating on Lake Toxaway, fishing, hiking, playing tennis, golf, and croquet with long time friends.

Charles was a LHP City Commissioner and active in the Exchange Club, American Pharmacies Association, First Presbyterian Church of Pompano Beach, and Lake Toxaway United Methodist Church. He is survived by his devoted wife, Jean, children Steve Barger (Cheryl) and Elizabeth Barger Anthony (Brannon), 9 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, sister Mary Ann Shepherd and predeceased by his beloved son, Charles Glenn Barger, Jr. (Chip). Charles will be remembered for his steady presence and the lasting impact he made on those who knew him in the Lighthouse Point and Lake Toxaway communities. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church of Pompano Beach, The Pink Church.

I lieu of flowers, the family welcomes memorial donations to the American Cancer Society or The First Presbyterian Church of Pompano Beach.
