Charles "Chuck" Edwin Beierle

Charles “Chuck” Edwin Beierle, 73, of Great Falls passed away Sunday, October 25, 2020, due to complications from Covid-19 Pneumonia. Chuck was born November 3, 1946, in Missoula, MT to Raymond and Lola Mae (Swan) Jones. He was the oldest of three boys. The family moved to Great Falls where he graduated from Great Falls High in 1966. After high school, Chuck made a career doing drywall, taping, and texture. He was extremely talented at it and thoroughly enjoyed what he did. Chuck met the love of his life, Lola Anderson, in the early 90s and they were married July 11, 1993. They had 25 great years together before she passed in 2018. Chuck’s life was spent being a light-hearted spirit always striving to make people laugh. His hobbies included making glass beads and jewelry, of which he was formally trained later in life, raising birds, especially their two parrots, Bridger and Peepers, and volunteering in the church daycare. Hunting and fishing were Chuck’s passion, and he was an amazing outdoorsman. Chuck took Bob on his very first hunting trip, and Bob is forever grateful for the lasting memory of that day watching Chuck’s skills shine. His true joy in life came in the form of his grandchildren—all 41 of them! He was always sure to have a smile on his face, and an itchy hand when they were around! You never wanted dirty beating (Chuckisms). Survivors include his sons, Troy Beierle of Seattle, Bob Anderson of Great Falls, Lyle Hvamstad of Centralia, WA; daughters, Lori Burns of Seattle, Linda (Brad) Lacook of The Dalles, OR, Barbara (Sam) Gravely of Chipley,FL; 18 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; 2 great-great-grandchildren; brothers, Bruce (Joni) George of Portland, OR and David Martel of Great Falls; as well as numerous nieces; and great-nephews/nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents and loving wife, Lola. A celebration of life will be planned at a later date for the summer of 2021. We are beyond blessed that God wanted you to be a part of our family when you met Lola, and molded you into the most amazing dad and grandpa we could ask for. The family wishes to thank ALL the staff at Benefis who took great care of our dad/ grandpa/brother, especially the 6th and 8th floors and respiratory therapy. Your compassion didn’t go unnoticed.
