Charles Alfred Myers passed away May 21 at Bethany House in Auburn, AL after a brief illness.
He is survived by his daughter Brooke (Wendy), sister Sherry Sellers, nephews Justin Sellers and Ben Sellers and niece Ann Sellers.
He was proceeded in death by his wife of 55 years, Vera Jo, his parents Alfred and Mary Myers, and his father and mother-in-law, Harland and Ruth Mcabee.
Charlie, as he was known to his family and friends, grew up in Leeds, AL and graduated from Leeds High School in 1955. He made lifelong friends in Leeds, but pursued higher education at the University of Alabama before making his way to Jacksonville State where he met Vera Jo Mcabee. They married in 1962 and spent time in Birmingham, Huntsville, and Pell City before returning to Vera Jo’s hometown, Piedmont.
A lifelong Christian, Charlie found his two great loves on earth, his wife Vera Jo and the beauty and majesty of the land. After dabbling in insurance and
education, his true passion for land, farming, timber, and relationships, led him Into a career in real estate that spanned over five decades. From the piedmont of Alabama, to his beloved farm in the bluegrass of Kentucky, he never met a stranger. Often, he would knock on people’s doors and ask if they wanted to sell their land. He obtained his real estate license in many states, including his beloved home state of Alabama. His love of family, land, and farming were cornerstones of a life devoted to people and place.
A memorial service will be held at Piedmont First Presbyterian Church at 2pm Friday, May 29, 2026 with visitation beginning at 1pm prior to the service.
The family would like to give many thanks to the staff of Morningside Assisted Living and Bethany House.
