JANICE CHANDLER Obituary

Janice (Nielsen) Chandler Jan. 1, 1934 - Feb. 23, 2011 Jan passed away in the comfort of her home with her 4 children by her side. She was born in Wilkeson, Washington to Erik and Eleanor Nielsen, grew up in Buckley, and lovingly raised her family in Puyallup. Anyone who knew Jan found her door was always open for coffee and conversation. Preceded in death by her parents and her husband Bob, she is cherished by the children she leaves behind, Terri (Tim), Ellie, Susan (James), and Rob (Diane). Adored by her grandchildren, Kim, Kelli, Brandon (Lindsay), Katie, Kyle, Dane, and Dutch, and two great-grandchildren Oscar and Dian, Jan is also survived by her beloved brother, Erik Nielsen of Geneva, Ohio and many wonderful friends. The greatest joys in her life were being the early bird to a garage sale, a lucky night at the casino, and times spent with her family and good friends. A celebration of Janny's life will be held on Sunday, February 27th, 2011 from Noon to 5:00 at her home in Sumner.

Terri, Ellie, Susan & Rob, the Hites kids could write an entire book of childhood memories from time spent around your family. Being next door neighbors was so great. Your parents were both wonderful with an 'open door policy' to all the neighborhood kids. There were always lots of laughs in your home. Our Moms were good friends, loved shopping the garage sales together and sharing stories of treasure finds. Your Mom will always be remembered as a delightful, loving woman. Much love to you all, and so sorry for your loss.

Ellie, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I have fond memories of the times I spent at your house when we were kids - your mother was always so happy!
