After finishing school, Charley married Mamie Medlin. Together they raised a family of four boys until Mamie's death. Charley then married his second wife, Katherine. He was the proud father of four sons, Charley, Eugene, Eddie and Bill.
Charley was a hard working man. He was a rancher who enjoyed running cattle. He was an avid gardener, and raised beautiful vegetables for all his friends and family to enjoy. He owned and operated West Side Skelly Service Station in Tahlequah for years. He enjoyed cutting wood for the winter and working in his yard. Charley was very talented musically, and played the piano, guitar and the banjo. He was very proud of his 12 grandchildren and their accomplishments. A Christian by faith, Charley was a member of the Double Springs Church of God. The Lord called Charley from his labors on Monday, April 23, 2012, in Tahlequah. Charley was 89 years old.
Charley was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife, Mamie; his second wife, Katherine; and his son, Eddie Nottingham.
Those left to cherish his memory include three loving sons, Charlie Nottingham and wife Lillie of Yukon, Eugene Nottingham and wife Sharon of Tahlequah, and Bill Nottingham and wife Juanita also of Tahlequah; and daughter-in-law, Janice Nottingham, wife of Eddie, of Hulbert.
