Sandra Davis (Griffin) Chandler – Sandra G. Chandler, 82, of Richland, WA, passed from this life to her heavenly home on Friday, December 11, 2020. We celebrate her, her life well-lived and the example she set for us all. She was a woman of faith who loved unconditionally. Sandy was a mother to not only her five children, but to many throughout Richland over the years and loved by all who were blessed to know her. Sandy was born June 15, 1938, in Nashville Tennessee to William Thurman and Alene Davis (Emerson) Griffin and had one older sister, Barbara. Sandra “Sandy” to those who knew her well was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband Charlie. She was born in Nashville but grew up in Chattanooga, TN and Clinton, IA. She attended the University of Tennessee where she was a proud legacy member of the Tennessee Gamma Alpha Chapter of Delta Gamma Sorority. It was during her time at UT that Sandy met the love of her life, Charles F. (Chuck/Charlie) Chandler. They were married on August 29, 1958. Charlie worked for the Atomic Energy Commission (later the Department of Energy) and was transferred from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to Richland in 1960. She became the proud mother of five children, was a stay-at-home mom during their pre-school years and then worked in several medical doctor’s offices through the years and ultimately retired in 2000. All five of her children graduated from Richland High School. Charlie and Sandy had five children: Susan (Barrie) Steele of Moscow, ID; Chuck (Sue) Chandler of Ellicott City, MD; Bev (Leon) Turner of Rockaway Beach, MO; Joan (John) Toptine of Hillsborough, NC and Rick (Stephanie) Chandler of Richland, WA. She had 12 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. She was a devoted member of the community, volunteering for various roles over the years, including: Bomber Boosters, PTA’s, and Past-President of the local Richland Chapter of the League of Women’s Voters. Her faith and love for serving others led her and Charlie to Central Church (Central United Protestant) of Richland, where she served with the Hospitality team and helped cook for and serve thousands of meals for church members and their families. No one went home hungry when Sandy was cooking. She found great joy as she and Charlie also served as a Life Group Co-Leaders for many years. Sandy had a passion for serving others, and found great joy in preparing and serving meals to many throughout the Richland community. During her children’s years in Richland schools, her Macaroni and Cheese and Brownies became legendary.  While her kids were in school, the Chandler (Mrs. C./Dr. Sandy) twelve-passenger van was always on the move.  If there was an event that any of the kids were involved in, she was there.  If someone needed or wanted a ride, Sandy never missed a game/event and always had “one more” seat available. She had a deep passion for her kids and her community. Due to COVID, her Celebration of Life Service will be at a later date at Sunset Gardens in Richland, WA. Her family wants to express our deepest gratitude to the Physicians and caring Hospice staff at Chaplaincy Hospice House, whose compassion and care allowed us to enjoy Momma until she peacefully passed into glory. In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to make donations to Chaplaincy Hospice House.
