Charles Shaneyfelt Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 29, 2016.

Charles Ingram Shaneyfelt, 75, of Nashville, passed away on Sunday, February 28. He was the son of the late Truman Charles Shaneyfelt and late Pauline Amanda Ingram, both originally of Alabama. He attended Parmer School, Hillsboro High School, and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. In his early career Charles was a hairstylist working with his father who owned salons in Nashville, then subsequently the owner-operator of his own salon, Charles Coiffures, together with his wife, Brenda Brown Shaneyfelt. His passion and talent for metal sculpture eventually became his full-time occupation through his business CharlesCraft Metals, and he was widely recognized in the architectural and interior design community for custom-fabricated architectural metalwork in some of the finest and most unique homes in Nashville and surrounding areas. Charles was a humble, quiet, gracious man, who was dearly loved by his family and friends. He particularly loved wildlife, and his home in the woods. He is survived by his wife of fifty-four years, Brenda, daughters Sheri Francis Shaneyfelt and Shannon Shaneyfelt (Mark) Doyle, grandchildren Henry, Louisa, and Charlie Doyle, sister Amanda Faye Collins, a niece and three nephews, and one grand-niece and four grand-nephews.



Visitation will be held on Friday, March 4, 2016, starting at twelve o’clock, with memorial service to follow at two o’clock, both at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 33 Burton Hills Blvd, in Green Hills, Nashville, TN.



Graveside service will follow at Woodlawn-Roesch-Patton Funeral Home, 660 Thompson Ln, Nashville, TN, 37204.

Brenda, I've been out of town until yesterday and am so sorry to hear about Charles. We go back a long time to Parmer days as well as Hillsboro. I have very fond memories of him and wish you the best and have my deepest sympathy. Best regards, Larry Averbuch

We have special memories of Charlie and his atristry with metalwork. We knew he was a hair stylist, but were ignorant of his other more noteable skill. When we were wanting to replace lights in our summer home, his name came up as a logical choice to help us. We brought home a small fixture and he copied the intricate design to create two beautiful rustic lights for our great room. He was never able to make it up to New York State to see them in place although he saw a photo of them in the room. Besides that, our boys grew up at Christ Pres alongside Shanon and Sheri in the youth group. We will continue to keep his family in our prayers and look forward to a reunion with Charlie in heaven some day.

o Brenda and family; I regret we have never met, but Charlie, Sully Horner, David Etherly and I were "Running mates" in our first years @ Hillsboro; 1954-1957, after which my family moved to Norfolk, VA and I only saw Charlie a couple of times when I visited Nashville before 1960. During those "Formative years", I knew Charlie's older brother and sister Deanie, but we all rode motorcycles, and were a bit ruff around the edges. I have a picture of Charlie's Matchless 500 twin that he wrecked into a bridge abutment, (ca) 1956(?).I also have a picture of Charlie & Sully Horner with Charlie's Mom's 1954 Oldsmobile in the background. We were no strangers to fun back in those formative days.
I note that you & Charlie have been married for 54 years: Same as my wife, "Miss Jenny", and me. I deeply regret Charlie's passing away @ this most wonderful time of life, and even more-so for you and the family. I sent Charlie an Email about six months ago, but he never responded, and I didn't follow-up. I should have done more.
Perhaps some day my wife & I can meet with you, share some stories and see pictures of days gone by. Until then, we will continue to keep Charlie, you and the family in our thoughts and prayers.
With our Deepest Sympathy and Sincere Regrets:
John Monroe Smith, and "Miss Jenny":
Captain, USN, (Ret)

Charlie was a good boyhood friend and companion. I have very fond memories of adventures that he, other friends and I had together. He had a great sense of humor that I hope he maintained throughout his life. His mother, brother and sisters were always very good to me. May God grant his family comfort during this most difficult of times.
