Charles M. “Charlie” “Bub” Rice, 88, of Fayetteville, PA, passed away Sunday, June 1, 2025, in his home surrounded by his loving family. Born May 16, 1937, in Chambersburg, PA, he was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Rice.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife, Edith Rice, and a sister.
