Obituary for Charlie Wendell Grinton
The Family Tribute
Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish,
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
Mr. Charlie Wendell Grinton, Sr., 62, 190 Redmon Road, Harmony, NC, went to be with the Lord at Iredell Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, March 3, 2021. He was born in Yadkin County on February 7, 1959, and was the son of the late Harry Harold Grinton, Sr. and Jewel Jean Holmes Grinton.

He was united in marriage to Sherry Lynn Houston Grinton.

I am the flowers in the garden,
I am the wind beneath your hair.
