Charles Alexander Blair
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Charles Alexander Blair, 85, of Waynesboro, on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at his residence. He leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, faith, family, and cherished memories.
Mr. Blair was born In Waynesboro, Virginia on June 20, 1941, the son of the late Mary (Wright) Blair and Percy Blair. Charles was a hardworking and dedicated Dupont employee who retired after 29 years of service. He was also an avid football fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. A bible scholar and man of extraordinary faith, Charles served as President of the Men’s Usher Board for a number of years at Christ Tabernacle Church of God in Christ, where he was also a member. He loved attending Sunday School on Sunday mornings as well as Bible Study during the week with his beloved wife. He said recently before passing away that he missed being able to attend church.
During his lively times, he enjoyed yard work, fishing, golfing, being humorous, watching westerns, and spending time with his family playing “Old Maid” and “Phase 10” where he always cheated.
He touched the lives of everyone who had the honor of knowing him leaving a void that cannot be replaced. Charles leaves behind a legacy of love he had for his family and friends. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered and forever cherished. There are no words to express how grateful and blessed we are to God in giving him to us for 85 years.
He is preceded in death by his Mother, Mary Wright, Father, Percy Blair, Sisters, Betty Richardson, Mary Daniels and Florence Miller, Brother, John Marshall, and Loving pet, Harper.
He leaves to cherish his memories, his beloved and devoted wife of 62 years, Martha “Henrietta” Blair; His loving daughters Laura (Greg) Turner, Kimberly Blair, and Monica Blair. Three grandchildren who were the light of his life: Devin Turner, Kayla Blair, and Tori Dobson.
