Charles Hayes
Charles Hayes peacefully left this life to join the many loved family members who preceded him in death on March 31, 2020. Charles Lee Hayes was born on November 29th, 1949 in Harrisburg, PA to Lee Moyer and Mary Louise (Carst) Hayes. Charles was raised and attended school in the Duncannon, PA area. He graduated from Susquenita High School, Polyclinic Nursing School, and Frank J. Tornetta School of Anesthesia. Prior to starting his career as a nurse anesthetist, he was an officer in the Navy and served during the Vietnam war on the USS Inchon. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Charles was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, and nurse anesthetist. He is preceded in death by his parents, half-brother William Faust, his first wife Brenda Kay Hayes, niece Emily Porter and nephew Johnny Porter. He is survived by his current wife, Olga Hayes; daughter, Jennifer Hayes; sons, Michael Hayes (Kristin), Matthew Hayes (Lisa), Alex Hayes (Kamilla); grandchildren, Robert and Tia Washington, Ben and Rylee Hayes, Porter Hayes; sister, Eloise McGarry (John); brothers, Earl and Dale Hayes; and many nephews and nieces. He lived his life in the service of others. Charles and Olga were often found opening their doors to medical students from Brazil and family and friends from all around the world. Charles loved spending his days talking or spending time with his family, working with his “work family”, learning all the new technology, and working on his computer. He also loved working on projects. He enjoyed life-long learning and at any given time, you could find him piecing together the equipment to dig his own well, landscaping his yard, or building or remodeling his homes. In lieu of flowers or financial donations and in the spirit of the principles that Charles lived his life, we ask that you take the money and do something loving and giving to your neighbor or a loved one that is in need.
Private family services are planned. Interment will be at Lincoln Cemetery, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
I worked with Charles and Brenda at Uintah Basin Medical Center. I learned so much from both of them. My heart goes out to your family. Happy for his reunion with his loved ones.
Dear Tammy, Jennifer and family. I also worked with Charles at MMHC. We share in your grief.

Sending prayers to the Hayes family. Of course, I met Charles through Moundview and having surgery. He was so comforting and congenial and his smile lit up the room. Charles life will live on by all the hearts he has touched…R.I.P. Charles.

We have lost a great man who has touched so many lives, in so many ways. We will miss His smile and sense of humor that would put sunshine into a cloudy day. Charles was kind, caring and generous and counted as a blessing to us. He loved his family dearly and was often found sharing pictures or speaking about how proud he was of each of them. It was an honor privilege to know this man and call him friend.
My condolences to you and your family, Olga. My heart skipped a few beats when I found out about Charles passing. It’s something that you never want to see happen to such a great and respected individual. He brought so much knowledge to the table. What a great man all around. He will greatly be missed.

I write this with a sad heart because I will miss Charles. I also worked with him in the surgery department. He was the best to work with and he really knew his stuff. We have all lost a wonderful person, a good friend and co worker. RIP Charles, you will always be in our hearts.
My prayers to Tammy, Jennifer and the rest of the family. I worked with Charles when I started working in the surgery department at MMHC. I have to say it was the best time in my whole 43yrs. of being a CNA, and part of that reason was Charles. He always made me feel welcome and he was caring. Loved to talk and always included me. R.I.P. Charles. You will be greatly missed.
My sympathy and prayers are with you and your family. So sad to hear of this loss, but keep all those special memories close to your heart.
Charles you were a very kind, very good man. Thank you for your service to our country. Fair winds and following seas Sailor.
Charles will be greatly missed, he was always available for us in the ER and I would always sit by him and joke with him during our medical staff meetings and it was not the same without him this week! Charles was intelligent and I have many memories with him and will never forget the lives he touched, RIP Charles. My condolences to his family.
My wife Bonnie and I were two of the first people to meet Charles when he arrived and took the anesthesia position at our local hospital in Friendship. He soon after was the one to invite us over for supper while he and his wife Olga were still renting a house in Adams. He was always the first to invite us out for lunch after a bust day at work. He was indeed a kind, gentle person who enjoyed the company and comradery of others. He could converse for hours until you forgot what your suppose to be doing that day. A more personable person I don’t think I have met. Charles, you will be missed and gone to soon. He always said he would die while he was still working. I wish that hadn’t come true.
Our most sincere condolences to the Hayes family.
Charles was a wonderful person, a huge friend! He will be missed a lot! Rest in peace!
