Charles Edward “Charlie” Holstine, 81, of Alum Creek, passed away Wednesday, October 30, 2024, after a hard-fought battle with cancer.

Charles was born to the late Junior and Pauline Hedrick Holstine on March 26, 1943, in Charleston, WV. He retired from Garcie R. Marker & Sons, Inc. and was a Teamsters Local #1582 member.

Charles loved being outdoors, especially while on his backhoe. He was kind, hard-working and always had time to lend a helping hand. He is dearly missed by his loved ones, who celebrate that he is at peace with his creator.

He was preceded in death by his parents; grandparents, Mavie and Sam Holstine; and uncle, Bobby Holstine.

Charles is survived by his wife of 52 years, Kathie Kirk Holstine; daughters, Jodi (Daniel) Hughes and Kimberly Holstine; brothers, Jerry “Babe” (Patricia) Holstine and Gary Holstine; sister, Charlotte August; grandchildren, Connor Hughes, Ashton Hughes, and Dakota Holstine; and a host of family and friends.

Service will be at 1:00 pm, Monday, November 4, 2024, at Curry Funeral Home, Alum Creek, with Pastor Clyde Gwin officiating. Burial will follow at Graceland Memorial Park, South Charleston. Friends and family will gather one hour before the service at the funeral home.

Daddy, I hope you knew how much you truly meant to me. You were my world! I knew I could call you at any hour and you would be there. I don’t know how I will go on without you, but I find peace knowing you are in heaven. Til we met again, I will hold you dear in my heart and take care of Mommy! I love you, daddy…always and forever!
