DOROTHY PATTERSON CHANDLER

Mrs. Chandler was born July 9, 1921 in Choudrant LA and died on Friday, March 
6, 2015 at her residence following a brief illness. She was a lifelong member 
of Douglas United Methodist Church.

Dorothy was known for her love of her family, church, and community. She was 
always there to lend a helping hand or cook a meal. Being one of the best cooks 
in the community, everyone always wanted to try what "Miss" Dorothy brought to 
church meals.

In her spare time, she was in her beautiful yard. She loved to "tickle the 
soil" so it would "sing flowers". For many years, she arranged the flowers she 
grew for the Sunday morning service at Douglas United Methodist Church. She was 
recently referred to as "One of God's Masterpieces". She will be missed by 
many.

Mrs. Chandler was preceded in death by the love of her life, James W. Chandler 
in 2006; grandson, Jeremy Chandler; sisters; Nettie McLean, Mattie Bell Nahaus, 
Beulah Guthrie; brothers; Robert L. "Bob" Patterson and Thomas "Pete" 
Patterson.

She is survived by her children: Betty Jo Fuller and husband Randall of Douglas 
Community, Gloria Britt and husband Robert of Ruston, Albert Chandler and wife 
Dianne of Farmerville, Vickey Antley and husband Barry of Douglas Community, 
Charlotte McFarland and husband Johnny of Downsville, and David Chandler and 
wife Lisa of Douglas Community; 10 grandchildren; 21 great grandchildren; and 1 
great-great grandchild; sisters, Merry Dean Woodard of Arcadia and Marguerite 
Branstetter of Showlow, AZ; brother, James Kenneth "Rip" Patterson and wife Lou 
of Santa Fe, TX; brother-in-law, Thomas Durward Chandler of Douglas Community; 
sister-in-law, Lola Pearl Chandler of Douglas Community, and numerous nieces 
and nephews.

Pallbearers will be grandsons: James Fuller, Chris Fuller, John Chandler, Dylan 
Chandler, J.D. McFarland, and Joshua Chandler. Honorary pallbearers will be Tim 
Sutton and Eric Baker.

A special thanks to David Holloway and Premier Care Hospice for the love and 
care provided to Mom and to Dr. Chin, the nurses, and staff at St. Francis 
Medical Center.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Douglas United Methodist 
Church, Building Fund, 1642 Hwy 821, Choudrant, LA 71227 or the charity of your
