We are so sorry to hear about Mrs. Chandler’s passing. Our prayers are with her family at this time. We were both blessed to be her students and have many wonderful memories. She loved her family and was passionate about teaching us. Her legacy will live on through her children, grandchildren, students, and as a loving teacher at Tanner High School.
