Charley Overton

Charley Matthew Overton, son of Marion Russell Overton and Lily Leona Rice Overton was born August 7, 1936 in Barney, Iowa and passed from this life Wednesday, January 31, 2018 at Skiff Medical Center at 81 years of age.

Charley received his education in the Afton and Osceola Schools. He was united in marriage to Ruby Luella Smith in October of 1955 and they were the parents of four children, Terry, Christy, Becky and Trish. Ruby Overton died in October, 1978. Charley was later united in marriage to Patricia Faye Simmerman in October 1979.

Charley enjoyed his work as a carpenter and working for Farm Service over the years. His true passion, however, was farming near Murray which he continued until his retirement in 2002 at which time he moved to Mingo.

In addition to farming, Charley enjoyed anything to do with International Harvester, deer hunting, fishing, spending time with family (especially the grandkids), giving tractor rides, riding his four-wheeler, woodworking and watching football. He was also a huge John Wayne fan and enjoyed westerns of any type. Above all else he will be remembered by friends and family as being a great jokester.
