Charles E. “Chuck” Williams, 74, Lebanon, passed away on Saturday July 13, 2024 in his residence surrounded by his loving family and holding the hand of his wife, Patricia A. Heberling Williams. Chuck was born in Lebanon on September 17, 1949 a son of the late Carl Bender Williams and Betty Jane E. Trafford Williams. Chuck had devoted his life to his community and family. He wore many hats through his life and career some included: Deputy Sheriff of Lebanon County (1984-2001), Director of First Aid & Safety Patrol (1978-1982) Lifetime member of the Chemical Fire Company, Lifetime member of the Lebanon F.O.P. Lodge #42, Dispatcher at First Aid & Safety Patrol (2007-2022)and Security at Hershey Lodge and Convention Center – but his favorite hat to wear was being the father to Chantal and grandfather to Breanna and Kane Bouchard. With Patty by his side, he took pride in watching his daughter and grandchildren grow up and spoke about them and their accomplishments whenever he had the chance and to whomever would listen. With his own accomplishments and awards being too long to list, he was most proud of being the recipient of the Cathy L. Isgriggs Award given to him in 2013. In addition to his wife, daughter and grandchildren: he is survived by a brother Jeffrey Williams and his wife Dawn as well as nieces and nephews: Kevin Williams, Nicole Marley and Angie Brenneman.
