Chance, age 65, of Talbott, formerly of Sevierville, passed away at his home on Monday, August 31, 2009 after a battle with lung cancer. He was an avid reader, woodworker, sometime homebuilder and a devoted husband and father. After completing a B.S. degree in Medical Technology at the University of Tennessee in 1977, he began a career in the Morristown medical community that lasted thirty-one years. Infamous for his practical jokes and wit, he was a treasured colleague at Lakeway Regional Hospital, Physicians Medical Laboratory, and the Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System, at each of which he served as chief tech for a time. His greatest accomplishment was raising his two wonderful children. Charles was preceded in death by his parents, William Arlie and Zelma Tarwater, and by his brothers and sister, Tex, Gale, Smitty, Samuel Fenn, and Sarrah Sue. He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Lorene Atchley Chance; children, Dr. Brian A. Chance and Lindsay Hayes; daughter-in-law, Dr. Jennifer Saltzstein; son-in-law, John J. “Jack” Hayes IV; step-grandchild, Aiden D. Hayes; sisters, Sally Brake and Betty McKinney; sisters-in-law, Lorene Chance (Gale Chance) and Carsilee Chance (Samuel Fenn Chance); 18 nieces and nephews, including Lisa G. Swab and Jane C. Ellingwood; and a host of other beloved family. He will also be profoundly missed by his friends and colleagues at the MHHS lab. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Morristown Hamblen Hospital, Foundation Oncology Project, 908 W. 4th N. Street, Morristown, TN 37816. Funeral service 11 AM Thursday at Eden United Methodist Church with Bro. Kojak Graves and Rev. Jerrod McCormack officiating. Interment will follow in Eden Cemetery.
