Tschamler, Joseph
September 3, 1938 - July 30, 2023
 Joseph Rudolph Tschamler, "Joe," 84, of Winston-Salem, went
home to be with the Lord, on Sunday morning, July 30, 2023.
Joe was born in Augusta, Maine, to Joseph and Adelaide
Tschamler. After graduating from Cony High School, he attended the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point and served four years in the Infantry, completing Airborne
and Ranger schools. After his Army service, Joe taught school in Maine, before
deciding to walk the Appalachian Trail. During his journey on the Trail, Joe
accepted Christ at a Billy Graham Crusade in Knoxville, TN. He finally settled
in Winston-Salem, as a teacher at South Park Christian School, where he met his
future wife. Joe then spent 25 years working for the City of Winston-Salem in
Human Resources, where he was known for his kindness, willingness to help
others, and dedication to his work.
Joe loved the Lord and enjoyed sharing the Gospel message
with others. He was a member of Northwoods Baptist Church, where he served as
treasurer and taught Sunday School for over 50 years. He also loved music,
poetry, gardening, being outdoors and at the beach, but most of all he loved his
family.
Joe is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Allene
Tschamler, and daughter, Addie McKee, and her husband, Michael; in addition to
three grandchildren whom he treasured very much: David, Elizabeth, and Mary.
A Celebration of Life service will be held on Wednesday,
