Charles E. Cheuvront, passed away Saturday, April 28, 2018 and was born in Aliquippa, Pa., on April 28, 1930, to John C. Cheuvront and Goldie Kimes. His younger years were spent on the farm with his brothers and sister, Clarence, Sylvia, Don, Ed, Earl, Bill, and John. After selling the farm the family moved to an area of Aliquippa known as "The Bricks". It was during this time that an 11 year old girl named Bernice came into his life. She was at first an annoyance following him around and telling him she would marry him some day. Charles enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was gone from 1947 to 1951. Upon his return, Bernice had grown up and they did marry on June 14, 1952. The birth of three children followed, Linda (deceased), Debra and Edward (deceased). After struggling for work in the steel mills and the coal mines, Charles moved his family to California in 1961 in search of steady work. In 1963 Charles once again pulled up stakes moving his family to Oregon where he worked at the paper mill Crown Zellerbach retiring in 1992. In 1994 Charles and Bernice moved back east again to Elkins, W.Va. Charles loved the Appalachian Mountains where as a child he had spent much time with his family. In 2016 Charles and Bernice returned to Astoria, Oregon, to be closer to their family where they have remained until his passing on his 88th birthday, April 28, 2018. Charles is survived by his wife, Bernice; his brother, Earl; his daughter, Debra and Dan Kelley; grandchildren, Danielle Chiacco, Valerie and Ned Bitner, Brian Chiacco, Dustin and Sarah Kelly, Jill Kelley and her partner Jason Cerf, Carla Kelly, Jacob and Vicky Cheuvront, Charlie Ann Cheuvront and Corey and Maria Cheuvront; great-grandchildren, Dominique, Sophia, Gisella, Mikinzie, Marley, Blaine, Gunnar, Russell, Kami, Jacob Jr., and Lincoln; and numerous nieces and nephews.
