Charles McBride

Charles McBride, age 83 of White Bear Lake, MN and Mesa, AZ, died peacefully on September 8th, 2025 in Mesa with his wife and daughter by his side. He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Henrietta; sisters, Elaine and Rita. He will be deeply missed by those who survive him: his wife of 56 years, Jean; daughter, Shannon (Tony); sisters, Irene (Mike), Verna, and Alberta, and many nieces, nephews, and loving friends, for whom Jean and Shannon are so grateful at this time of grief and remembrance.

Chuck was born in Battle Creek, Iowa, and earned his college degree at the University of South Dakota. Work as an accountant brought him to the Twin Cities, where he eventually opened his own employment agency, Accountants Exchange. Chuck was an active member at Parkview United Church of Christ in White Bear Lake for many years, and thoroughly enjoyed his retirement years with Jean, splitting their time between their lake home in White Bear Lake and snow-birding in Mesa.
