Charles E. Harmon

LEXINGTON – Loving husband to Betty Jean Dutton Harmon; blessed son of Harvey and Mertie Harmon; beloved brother to Jimmy, John, Sam, Joe, Paul and Dan; father of honor, character and integrity to Charlie, Jr. (Laura), Patricia, Jeff (Patti) and Chris (Nikki); grandfather and mentor of eleven; married to Betty Jean, in 1951, and the two of them celebrated 66 years of a Christ centered marriage.

A graduate of the University of South Carolina and ardent Gamecock fan, Charles “Charlie” Harmon spent the majority of his almost 40 year business career as the people’s banker. He was the consummate Southern gentleman. He was well loved by all; encouraging and edifying those around him. He served his country for eight years in the U.S. Naval Reserves. He donated time, money, energy and heart to the Lions Club.

A practicing Christian, he served his church faithfully all his life. Known by many as “Uncle Charlie”, he was a lover of the Christmas season and the message that Christ was born to save this world, and yet he preached Christ with deeds and sometimes even used words. He loved to play the guitar and sing, which always brought smiles and fond memories to all.
