Charles Samuel "Skip" Dodds

Charles Samuel "Skip" Dodds, a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 29, 2026, at his home in Douglasville, Georgia, at the age of 85. He was born on June 26, 1940, in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to the late Mr. Earl Glendon Dodds and the late Mrs. May Miller Dodds.

Skip lived a life marked by dedication and love for both his family and the world around him. He was a man of many facets. After proudly serving his country in the United States Army, he pursued higher education and earned a master's degree, laying a strong foundation for his professional life. For over two decades, Skip dedicated himself to the aviation industry, working for Delta Air Lines. His versatility and commitment saw him wear many hats within the company.

Known affectionately by all as "Skip," he was a man whose personality shone brightly—fun, loving, and truly a "chipper." He had a very social soul so he never met a stranger. Skip cultivated many close friendships, particularly among his cherished friends in Louisiana, where these bonds held a special place in his heart.

As a passionate traveler, Skip also embraced the world with open arms and wherever he went, he carried his enthusiasm for exploring new places and cultures. His love extended to animals of all kinds, with a particular fondness for his cherished basset hounds. They were not just pets but treasured companions who brought him great happiness.

In addition to his parents, Skip is preceded in death by his wife, Mrs. Margaret Abele Dodds.

Skip is survived by his son, Jeffery Dodds; significant other, Margaret Feinberg; step daughters, Lydia Betenia, and Rachel Harrison; grandchildren, Tyson, Jamie, and Collin; great-grandchild, Grayson; as well as several beloved friends and family in the state of Louisiana.

In accordance with his wishes, Skip was cremated. A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at 1712 Twisted Oak Lane, Baton Rouge, LA 70810; friends and family may visit at 2:00 PM.
