Janis CHANDLER Obituary
CHANDLER, Janis Ellen
October 13, 1937 - February 7, 2023
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and nana, Janis.
Janis was predeceased by her parents William and Ada Bowman (nee Russell), by her husband Ralph and her son William (Bill). She is survived by her brother Keith (Barbara), daughters Maxine and Anne (Barry), and her grandchildren Aaron, Evan, Jackson and Lauren.
Janis grew up in the Dunbar neighbourhood of Vancouver. She graduated from Lord Byng Secondary in 1955 and then attended UBC in pursuit of an Education degree to become a teacher.
She married her first husband Jack Munro at the young age of 21, moving to Tsawwassen after the opening of the George Massey Tunnel in 1959. It was here she and Jack raised their family of 3 children.
Janis remarried to Ralph Oliver Chandler in 1982. Together they owned and operated Ralph's family business, W R Chandler Memorials Ltd., until Ralph's passing in 1999. Outside of work, they loved fine dining, and to travel, spending much time at their vacation home in Palm Desert, CA.
Janis was all about family. She loved Sunday dinners with her children and her grandchildren, as well as family vacation time in Palm Springs. Janis also enjoyed cooking and gardening and was an avid golfer as a member at Beach Grove Golf Club in the 1970s.
Janis will forever be remembered for her great sense of humour and her "cheeky" nature; always with a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face.
Janis lived out her last 6 years at the Mountain View Manor long term care facility in Ladner, BC. The family would like to extend our utmost thanks and appreciation to Dr. Rex Long and all of the staff at Mountain View for taking exceptional care of our Mom and Nana.
A funeral service will be held on Friday, February 17 at 4:00 pm at Saint David's Anglican Church, 1115 51A St., Delta, BC with a reception to follow.
In remembrance of Janis, donations can be made to The Delta Hospital Foundation (www.dhchfoundation.ca)
