Charles Franklin Lipscomb was born on August 23, 1934, in Dallas, Texas, the son of Owen Martin Lipscomb and Wilna Lorene (Curry) Lipscomb. He graduated from Seagoville Senior High School in 1955 and served in the United States Army.

While in Garland, Charles and his late wife Sue were members of the Axe Memorial United Methodist Church and participated in the Pathfinders Sunday School Class. After moving to Chandler, they became members of the First Methodist Church of Chandler and participated in the Wesley Fellowship Sunday School Class. Charles and Sue loved square dancing during their free time and even participated in a group known as the Pard Twirlers while living in Garland.
