Wendell H. CHADWELL

CHADWELL, Wendell H. Age 75 of Brookville, passed away peacefully in his home where he loved to be the most, on Friday, Sept. 23, 2016 after a very long and extremely hard fought battle with cancer. He was preceded in death by his parents, and by his wife Karen Ann (Phelps) Chadwell, who was the first love of his life. He is survived by his amazing partner in life and the second love of his life, Sandy Eby, whom he loved more than life itself. Sandy's 2 daughters also survive, Erin Eby and Amber Elkins (Brandon). He thought of them as his own. Wendell is also survived by 2 daughters, Rhonda Jonas and Rene' Chase (Jimmy, who he loved as a son); favorite granddaughter, Jessica Chase; 3 grandsons, Brandon Chase, Cole Chase, Connor Chase; sister, Julia Christy; brother, Don Chadwell; lifelong friend Larry Inman. He had a great love for his grandchildren and loved being their papaw. He loved his horses, golfing, playing poker, and being on his Harley. He treasured the time spent with his golfing buddies which are too many to list and his poker playing guys including his special friend Jen. He had his own unique way of doing things which has made for great stories. He would help anyone that needed anything and was always there for his family. A Graveside Service will be held 1:00 PM Tue. Sept. 27 at Fairview Cemetery in West Alexandria. Arrangements are in care of the GILBERT-FELLERS FUNERAL HOME, 950 ALBERT RD., BROOKVILLE.
