Charles Mazel

Charles Henry Mazel was born in Wharton, Texas on September 22, 1952.  Charles fought a courageous battle with cancer but was called home on December 31, 2023.

Charles was raised in Wharton by his parents Milton and Louise Bennetsen Mazel.  He was a 1971 graduate of Wharton High School and later attended Wharton County Junior College.
