Obituary

Corinne "Rene" Moore Charles, 95, died Friday, July 4, 2014 at The Laurel of University Park, in Richmond, VA where she had been a resident there for the past 2 years. She was a native of Poquoson, VA. Corinne was preceded in death by her parents, Robert J. Moore and Maggie Hunt Moore; husband, Mack W. Charles; two brothers, Delmas Sr. and J. Eldridge Moore; and her sister, Grace Rowe. She is survived by her two daughters Cheryl Boggs (Thurston) of Mechanicsville and Patricia Dunay of Newport News, and one granddaughter Wendy Boggs of Richmond. Corinne was a spirited, feisty and independent woman who enjoyed life. She lived most of her adult life in Hampton and held various jobs including Junior Aircraft Mechanic during WWII, working on the P-47 Thunderbolt "Jug" Fighter Aircraft at Langley Field, VA. She also loved her tools and worked in the carpenter shop at the Yorktown Naval Weapons Station and retired in 1984 from the Supply and Processing Department at the VA Hospital in Hampton. Corinne would often say, "I've had a good life". The family would like to thank the staff of the Laurels of University Park, the nurses, and the CNAs of the Jefferson and Washington Units for all their help and kindness. We would also like to thank the Hospice of Virginia Team for their compassion and the comfort given to our mother for the last few months of her life. A graveside service will be conducted at 2:00 PM on Wednesday, July 9 at Greenlawn Memorial Park in Newport News, VA with Chaplain Rachel Luck officiating. Arrangements are being handled by R. Hayden Smith Funeral Home in Hampton, VA.
