Charles Hilton Obituary

Charles Wendell Hilton CHARLESTON - On February 2, 2023, Charles Wendell Hilton, loving husband and father, entered into eternal rest at age 69. Charles was born in 1954 to the late Wendell and Reba Hilton in Charleston, SC. After earning his Bachelor's degree from the College of Charleston, he worked as an electrical contractor for 45 years. He will be sorely missed by his wife, Peggy; his children: Heather, Jackie, Matt, and Marianne; his grandchildren: Jacob, Kyleigh, Lilly, and Alexis; his brother, Frederick (wife, Ceely); and many family, in-laws, and friends too numerous to list, but not forgotten. A celebration of his life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 18, at Folly Beach United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to his church (follybeachumc.com) or to the Charles Hilton Memorial Fund at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (stjude.org).

Peggy and family, you know I don´t have words to express to you how much I loved Charlie. He was truly a brother to me. I love you all. "The God of love and peace shall be with you." - Corinthians 13:11

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My dad, William Eugene (Gene) Kelly worked for Hilton Electric for 50 years or longer. We gave daddy a birthday party when he turned 80 and invited Charles (and he came). That day was one of my daddy's special memories because his good friend came to celebrate his birthday with him. And Charles also came when daddy died and we celebrated his life. The Hilton family was very special to my daddy and i have no doubt that he, Charles, and Mr. Wendell are sitting off somewhere in God's Heaven planning their next wiring job! God breaks our hearts to prove to us that He only takes the best!!

Respectfully, Brenda Kelly Hill

Charlie played a pivotal role through my early career as a lighting consultant. He was always willing to share his knowledge and assistance. I enjoyed working with him for a 20 year stretch of various projects. I will always be grateful for his tutoring but mostly for his friendship. Rest easy dear friend. I´ll see you in heaven one day soon.

One thing I know about Mr. Hilton is that he loved his family and kids! He worked hard for his family and provided a beautiful home and everything his children needed. He will truly be missed by his children, wife and family. Thank you for being a part of my life when we were younger and letting Marianne be my best friend!!
