Charles W. "Chuck" Mann
April 26, 1930 ~ July 12, 2021 (age 91)
Charles W. Mann, 91, of Burlington, NC passed away Monday, July 12, 2021 at Cone Health Alamance Regional Medical Center. Chuck was born on April 26th, 1930 in Wheeling, West Virginia to the late Harold and Amanda Mann. Chuck is survived by his beloved wife, Jean Patterson Mann; sons, Randy Mann and wife Robin, Larry Mann and wife Teresa; grandchildren Jonathan Mann and wife Ruolin, Timothy Mann and wife Laura, Cara Britain and husband Kyle, Christopher Mann and partner Katie, Alex Padron and wife Ziyu, and Scott Padron; great grandchildren, Evelyn and Owen Mann. Also, a host of caring nieces, nephews and good friends. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Lash Mann and Ken Mann and sisters Betty Starkey and Vera Daughtery.
Chuck met Jean on a blind date while she was studying at West Liberty State College. In July of 1954 they married and spent their first year together in West Virginia. Since 1955 Chuck and Jean built their life in Burlington, NC raising two sons whom he loved to teach fishing, golf and wood working. Chuck was a plant manager at Engineered Plastics, Inc. (EPI) until his retirement in 1992, which he enjoyed every day. One could find Chuck on the golf course several times a week often scoring well below his age. He had a remarkable seven hole in-ones; his last one when he was 89. Chuck had a well-stocked wood working shop where he would carefully make beautiful pieces of furniture. What Chuck loved the most was spending time with his family whether that be playing card games, telling funny stories or video chatting with his grandchildren.
Chuck was loved by many, and touched the lives around him with his calm and patient demeanor. He was a father figure to many people and was always there to lend a helping hand or to put a smile on your face by telling a joke. He will be missed by all those that knew and loved him.
Visitation will be at Lowe Funeral Home & Crematory on Thursday, July 15, 2021 from 6-8 pm. Funeral services will be on Friday, July 16 at 11:00 am at Friendship United Methodist Church by Rev. Thurman Horney. The family will receive friends in the church fellowship hall following the service.

Jean Patterson Mann
Jean Patterson Mann, age 92, of Burlington, NC, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Sunday, October 20, 2024 at Cone Health Alamance Regional.
A native of Burlington, she was the daughter of the late Dr. Hobart and Nina Patterson and wife of the late Charles "Chuck" Mann.
Survivors include her sons, Randy Mann and wife Robin of Saugerties, New York, Larry Mann and wife Teresa of Supply, North Carolina; grandchildren Jonathan Mann and wife Ruolin, Timothy Mann and wife Laura, Cara Britain and husband Kyle, Christopher Mann and wife Katie, Alex Padron and wife Ziyu, and Scott Padron; great grandchildren, Evelyn Mann, Owen Mann and Westley Britain. Also, a host of incredibly caring nieces, nephews, cousins and good friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband Chuck, her sister Ann Livingston, brothers Dr. George Patterson and John Patterson.
After graduating high school from EM Holt, she attended Guilford College. From there she graduated from West Liberty State College in the Summer of 1954 as a Register Dental Hygienist. Jean was one of the first dental hygienist in North Carolina - license #64!
It is hard to write about Jean without writing about "her Chuck". Jean met her forever love on a blind date while she was studying at West Liberty State College. In July of 1954 they eloped and spent their first year together in West Virginia. For 67 years Chuck and Jean built a beautiful and loving life together in Burlington raising their two sons.
They enjoyed many trips together including Hawaii, a Mississippi River Boat cruise, and many bus tours. They loved visiting their grandchildren in Vermont, New York and Florida. Together they created lasting memories at White and Kerr Lakes with friends and family as well as with the Cox Camper taking excursions all over North Carolina.
Jean loved sharing her delicious homemade baked goods and her many specialty southern dishes like macaroni and cheese at annual gatherings or a regular Sunday dinner. Weather permitting, one could find Jean in her yard tending to her roses, picking persimmons, gathering sticks or raking the leaves. Regardless where you found her, you were always welcomed with her warm smile.
Jean touched the lives of those who knew her and will be missed by all of those who loved her.
Visitation will be at Lowe Funeral Home & Crematory on Thursday, October 24, 2024 from 5-7 pm. Funeral services will be on Friday, October 25 at 2:00 pm at Friendship Church by Rev. Mike Kelly. The family will receive friends in the church fellowship hall following the service.
