Charles Albert
Orvis was born on September 23, 1938 at
rural New Hampton, the son of Haskel and
Anna (Kjarvik) Orvis. Charles was raised
with a strong Norwegian upbringing on
the Kjarvik family farm north of Lawler
by Anna’s parents, Knut and Bessie and
her brothers and sisters, Jack, Bud,
Elmer, Clara and Louise. He was baptized
and confirmed at Crane Creek Lutheran
Church (Immanuel) of rural Lawler where
he was a lifetime member. Charles
attended country school at Utica 4 which
is located at the corner of the Kjarvik
farm. He attended New Hampton High
School graduating in 1956.
On June 3, 1961,
Charles was united in marriage to Karen
Hilbert at First Methodist Church,
Waterloo. They were blessed with four
children. Charles worked at several jobs
in Waterloo before heading back north to
work with his uncles, Jack, Bud and
Elmer on the family farm. On December 5,
1961, Charles was inducted into the US
Army. He trained in Colorado and in
California where Karen joined him. They
moved to Ft. Hood, Texas where Jack was
born in 1962. He was fortunate to have
strong math and typing skills as this
landed him a military clerk’s job. He
was discharged from active duty in
September 1963 and served in the
reserves for four more years. He
returned to join the family farm
operation where David, Tim and Karla
joined the family.
Most people knew
him as Charlie or Chuck whether it be at
the sale barn, slow pitch softball,
bowling, deer hunting, fishing, sporting
events, the coffee shop, or maybe an
occasional card game. Charlie especially
enjoyed organizing the annual fishing
trip to Canada at Booi’s Fly-In Lodge.
Charlie enjoyed being a farmer,
especially raising cattle. He loved
catching up on the news with his friends
every morning for coffee at the Hole in
the Wall and Bucky’s and then off to
Little Turkey for cards. He battled many
health problems since 1999 which forced
him to quit actively farming and move to
Lawler with Karen in 2006. He may have
moved off the farm but his heart never
left it. He checked the markets on his
daily trip to C.A.S.H and helped out his
sons on the farm whenever he could. He
enjoyed spending time with his family
and especially shined as “Grandpa
Charlie”.
Charlie is
survived by his wife Karen, of 52 years;
his children Jack (Verna) of Lawler,
David (Arleen) of Calmar, Tim (Tina) of
Lawler, and Karla (Steve) Gilbert of New
Hampton; ten grandchildren Sarah (Kyle)
Renn, Amanda (Barry) Reicks, Rachel
Orvis, Michelle and Kaitlyn Orvis, Ethan
and Jonah Orvis, and Kayla, Nolan and
Ben Gilbert; five great grandchildren
Jack and Abel Renn, Jaila and Amelia
Reicks and Addalyn Nesbitt. He is also
survived by his two sisters, Beverly
(Gene) Johnson of Waterloo and Connie
(Denny) Gewecke of Vinton; and aunt Emma
Rolfes of Keystone; along with his
in-laws Bill (Jean) Hilbert of Waverly,
Don (Teresa) Hilbert of Ankeny, and
Marcia Hilbert of Manchester.
He is preceded in
death by his parents, Haskel and (Kathy)
Orvis and Anna Orvis, grandparents, his
uncles and aunts, Jack, Bud, Elmer,
Clara and Louise Kjarvik, Sally and Jim
Schares and Leo Rolfes, as well as
Karen’s parents, Harry and Margueritte
Hilbert and his brother-in-law Rick
Hilbert.
