Charles C. Colucci

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Charles C. Colucci, 84, of Castanea, PA on March 2, 2026, at his residence.

He was born to John and Josephine (Renzo) Colucci on July 15, 1941. On July 12, 1969 he married the love of his life, Helen (Soo) Colucci, who survives at home after sharing 56 years of marriage together.

He was one of twelve children.

He had a deep love for hunting, fishing, camping with his wife and hunting for arrowheads. In his earlier years he loved to bowl with his lifelong friends who passed before him. He had a love for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and the Penn State Nittany Lions. He always loved to watch a good football game, old westerns, and spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He was an attendee of the Lock Haven Catholic School.

He later began a 30-year career with Emery Chemical Company, retiring in 2000.

In addition to his wife, Helen, he is survived by his daughters, Tina (Herb) Probst, of Lock Haven; Charlene Colucci Schilling of Vero Beach, FL.; and his sons, Paul (Tracie) Spong, of Lock Haven; and Richard Spong, Jr. of Lake Charles, LA.

He was a proud Grandfather to ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren whom he held dear.

He will be deeply missed, and his spirit will remain with us.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by nine other brothers and sisters.

Charlie leaves behind a lifetime of memories that his loved ones will cherish forever.

Funeral services and burial will be privately held at the convenience of the family.

Helt Funeral Chapel, Mill Hall is honored to serve the family.
