ANDREA CHAMBERS Obituary

CHAMBERS, Andrea Andrea Fessenden Chambers was born in Boston in 1939. She died peacefully at home in Tucson, June 15th, after a long illness. She grew up in West Newton, Mass. and graduated from Newton High School. She attended Brandeis University, graduated from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, and did graduate work at Boston University. In 1962 she came to Tucson "to see the desert" and to teach at The Fenster School. She taught English and ancient history, and was an administrator at Fenster until 1980 when she and her family returned to Boston. There she began a second career in banking which she continued until 2005 when the family returned to Tucson. Beloved by her students and banking customers alike, she leaves her husband, John, sons Ian of Tucson and Colin of Northampton, Mass, four grandchildren and one great granddaughter. Services will be private. Contributions in her memory may be made to Bat Conservation International in Austin, Texas.

It is said that all of us had a teacher that was most influential in our lives. For forty years I have remembered Mrs. Chambers as that one special teacher. Her spirit and excellence touched my soul and encouraged my intellect.

Best teacher I ever had and the reason I'm so articulate. Thanks to Mrs. Chambers, I am also a "grammar and spelling stickler".

I'll never forget her denim skirts.

RIP, Mrs. C. My condolences to her family and everyone who loved her.

I began looking for Mrs Chambers last year to reconnect after so many years and found, just today, her obit. I am truly sad that I missed saying hello. She was a mentor and friend from Fenster so many years ago. I remember John well and little Ian. My warmest regards to both. I know she is resting in peace.

She was my first adult friend in 1962. I enjoyed working with her during our time at the Fenster School. I am sorry for your loss. God bless. Your family now and in the future. I recently lost my husband of 50 years. Jean Wheelin Miller (AZ)

I'm so sorry for your loss. May Proverbs 17:17 prove true for you, with loving family and friends to help make your grief more bearable.

She was a tremendous influence in my life. I was a student at Fenster for 3 & 1/2 years over 40 years ago, and I doubt that a week has gone by in those years when I did not have a thought about her. I have so much gratitude for her guidance, her unique personality and insight. Bless you Mrs. Chanbers and Thank You.

She was my junior and senior year English teacher. Thanks in great part to what I learned from Andrea, I would be a newspaper reporter, public relations consultant and freelance writer. With gratitude.
