Zagaroli, Charles Joseph. Charles Joseph Zagaroli passed away on September 6, 2020 at his home surrounded by his family. Chuck was born on May 14, 1943, to Charles M. and Angeline (Lauretti) Zagaroli. Chuck married Rachel (Duckett) Zagaroli, in 1971, with whom he spent 49 years of marriage. Rachel survives Chuck along with their three wonderful children, Don (Lisa) Wernstrom, Jeff (Hillary) Zagaroli and Jason Zagaroli, and their grandchildren, Jackson and Annie Grace Wernstrom, and Anthony (AJ) and Christopher Zagaroli, all of whom Chuck adored and loved with all of his heart.

Chuck graduated from Muskegon Catholic Central in 1961 and proceeded to graduate from Ferris State University with a degree in pharmacy. His life's work as a pharmacist included the ownership of Kopland Pharmacy, in Flint, Michigan, and many years of service to Walgreen's and Meijer.

Chuck enjoyed life to the fullest. He was an avid golfer, having been a member of Flushing Country Club for 16 years. He enjoyed many years of bowling and loved to fish when he was in Marco Island during the winter. But his real passion was for his family. His grandchildren meant the world to him and time spent with them was always cherished and precious. Chuck and Rachel had the entire Zagaroli family over each year for a long Thanksgiving weekend for 49 years. Chuck founded the annual Zagaroli cousin's boys canoe trip. In recent years, Chuck and Rachel would spend part of the winter months in Marco Island, Florida, with Chuck's sister and Brother-in-law, Helen and Dave Semelbauer, and his brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Jenny Zagaroli, all of whom survive him. Chuck also leaves his sister-in-law Jackie Thelen, brother-in-law George Duckett (Denise) and many nieces and nephews.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, Chuck and Angie, his sister Lauretta and her husband Ken Barnhill, his niece, Marissa Lynn Barnhill, his nephew, Jacob Zagaroli, mother-in-law Edra Mosley, father-in-law George Duckett (Mary) and sister-in-law Sharon Matthews. Chuck also leaves Rachel's half brothers Boyd and Errol (Sheron) Duckett and half sister Debora Duckett Wood (Dan)

A memorial Mass will be held on September 12 at 11:00 at St. Francis DeSales Catholic Church, 2929 McCracken Norton Shores, followed by a celebration of Chuck's life at Fricano's Pizza in Muskegon. Visitation with the family will occur for one hour prior to the Mass.
