1/20/2018

 
   Eugene Arthur Charsky, 84, Wellsboro, a devoted servant of the Lord's ministry for over 58 years, finished his work here and was called home by the Lord on Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018 at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center: Williamsport.
    He was the husband of Marion (Bowles) Charsky, Wellsboro, they shared 54 years of marriage together.
    Gene was born in Utica, N.Y. on Sept. 25, 1933, the son of the late Arthur Otto and Mildred (Barfield) Charsky.
    After high school, he served four years in the United States Navy during the Korean War and received an honorable discharge as a PN2.
     He attended Dennison University of Ohio, where he obtained his BA in Philosophy. Continuing his education, Gene attended the Colgate Divinity School of Rochester, where he acquired his Masters of Divinity. In 1963, he was ordained through American Baptist Churches. Gene pastored churches in Ohio, Rhode Island, New York and Pennsylvania.
     He served from 1977-1978 as a chaplain to the VA hospital in Batavia, N.Y. In addition to his prestigious degrees, in 1979 he completed his Pastoral Care Education residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. In 1981 he was awarded Board Certified Chaplain through the Association of Professional Chaplains.
     Gene and family moved to Wellsboro in October 1979 as he pursued a career as the Director of Pastoral Care at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital, retiring in 1995. Though he retired from Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital, he continued serving the Lord with zeal and joy! He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Wellsboro for over 38 years. During that time, he served as Chaplain for Laurel Health/Susquehanna Hospice for 27 years.
     He also served as Chaplain at the Green Home in Wellsboro for 38 years, a position he held until his recent passing. He was actively employed as an associate and pastor at Tussey-Mosher Funeral Home, Ltd. since 1999.         Gene enjoyed many hobbies including woodworking, model railroading, hunting, camping and hiking with his family. He also served as conductor on the Tioga Central Railroad.
    Although he had many hobbies and interests, he always put serving the Lord above all other personal desires. Gene will be remembered by family and friends for his contagious smile and wonderful sense of humor.
    Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Marion Charsky,  Wellsboro;  sons and daughters-in-law, Kevin (Bethanne) Charsky, Lyons, Brett (Colleen) Charsky, Pulaski, N.Y. and Bruce (Tracy Zuber) Charsky, Mountain Top; seven grandchildren, Jacob, Ben, Justin, Micah, Lexi, Katie and Aaron.
