Charles Raymond McMannis

Charles R. McMannis, 87, of East Canton, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, November 7, 2026, surrounded by the family he loved. He was born on April 9, 1939, in Caldwell, Ohio, to the late William and Virgie (Rodgers) McMannis.

Following his graduation, Charles joined the United States Army, where he served his country with honor. During his military service, he worked as a water supply supervisor and earned sharpshooter status. After returning home, he began a career with Sugardale Foods/Fresh Mark, where he dedicated 37 years of service before retiring.

In his free time, Charles enjoyed hunting and fishing, but nothing meant more to him than the time he spent with his family. He especially treasured the life he built with his wife, Linda, sharing 63 years of marriage filled with memories, love, and the many moments that make a lifetime together.

In addition to his parents, Charles was preceded in death by seven siblings.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Linda S. (Bond) McMannis; his daughters, Kathy Casto and Rose Nelson; grandchildren, Jennifer Miller, David Miller, Tiffany Shrader, Adam Nelson, Samantha Williamson, and Skylar Fletcher; and 20 great-grandchildren and his sister Susie Klintworth.

In keeping with Charles's wishes, there will be no public visitation, and cremation will take place.

Though Charles is no longer here to share in the everyday moments, the love he gave, the memories he created, and the family he cherished will continue to be a lasting part of those he leaves behind. His life was measured not only in the years he lived, but in the generations, he touched and the love that will carry on through them.
