EDNA TAYLOR CHANDLER
CHARLOTTE -- Edna Carolyn Taylor Chandler, 69, of Charlotte, died Saturday, March 4, 2000 at Mercy Hospital South after a brave and dignified battle with cancer.
Edna was born July 17, 1930 in Broadway, N.C., one of five children and the daughter of the late Owen and Letha Taylor. She attended Broadway High School and Campbell University and received her R. N. degree in 1951 from Charlotte Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. She worked as a Registered Nurse with Dr. McChord Williams, General Surgeon, until his retirement in 1985. She then worked at Charlotte Rehabilitation Hospital until she retired from nursing in 1986.
Mrs. Chandler was an active member of Holy Comforter Episcopal Church from 1961 until her illness prevented her from attending. She was a driving force behind the Loaves and Fishes program and served as coordinator for one of the program's pantries. She loved golf and was a longtime member of the Women's Nine-Hole League at Raintree Country Club. Edna was also an active participant in the lives of her grandchildren. For over two decades, she and Ted hosted annual beach vacations for many friends and family members.
She is survived by her steadfast friend and husband of 48 years, Theodore "Ted" G. Chandler; her son Gil and his wife, Wyndy, of Charlotte; son Allen and his wife, Tammy, of Tega Cay, SC.; son, Robbie and his wife, Shelly, of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, Goldsboro; and grandchildren, Candace, Ryan, Jake, Kenny and Wesley.
She is also survived by her three sisters, Barbara Taylor Maddox and Inell Taylor, both of Sanford, and Fronnie Taylor Foushee of Conway, SC.; one brother, Wilbur Taylor of Lake Norman; and nine nieces and nephews. Edna was predeceased by her brother, Lewis Taylor of Sanford.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, Mar 7 at 2 P.M. at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, Park Road, with the Rev. David Hodges officiating. Interment will follow in Holy Comforter's Memorial Garden. The family will receive friends immediately following the service in the Parish Hall of the church.
It was Mrs. Chandler's wish that memorials be made to Hospice of Charlotte, 1420 E. 7th St., Charlotte, N.C. 28204 or to Loaves and Fishes Inc., 3200 Park Road, Charlotte, N.C. 28209.
Edna's family sends a special thank you to the very caring people at Hospice of Charlotte and Mercy Hospital South.
Arrangements are by Carolina Funeral & Cremation, Charlotte.
