Virginian-Pilot May 14, 2026
Webster Monroe Chandler III, retired real estate executive, died peacefully 
surrounded by his family on May 13, 2026, just a few days shy of his 75th 
birthday. Born and raised in Norfolk, he was predeceased by his parents, Webster 
Monroe Chandler Jr. and Nancy Outland Chandler, and his brother William Outland 
Chandler. He is survived and very sorely missed by his wife of more than 45 
years, Lisa Fay Smith Chandler; his children: Whitney Deal Chandler of Norfolk 
and Brynn Lee Chandler Noel of San Francisco, CA and her husband William Hayes 
Noel; and his beloved grandchildren: Evelyn Monroe Noel, Hayes Chandler Noel, 
and Emily Fay Noel. He is also survived by his sister, Nancy Deal Chandler and 
her husband Paul Pomplun of Suffolk, VA and his brother John Maddox Chandler and 
his wife Charlotte Webb Chandler of Norfolk, sister-in-law Devri Lee Smith of 
Mitchellville, MD, brother-in-law Craig Dennis Kildall of Manassas, VA; four 
cherished nieces and one great-niece; and dear friends, too many to mention.
He grew up in the Larchmont and Edgewater neighborhoods of the city and resided 
there until his death. Web attended Larchmont Elementary School, Norfolk 
Academy, and graduated from Maury High School. He attended the University of 
Virginia, where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity and enjoyed life at 
its Rugby Road house. He later attended Hofstra University and subsequently 
graduated from Old Dominion University. He also served in the United States 
Coast Guard.
Web founded Hague Antiques and enjoyed collecting and selling. He joined his 
mother's real estate company, the largest in Norfolk, then named Nancy Chandler 
Associates, in 1978, and ultimately purchased the Company and became President 
and Principal Broker, later rebranding as Chandler Realty Inc, and then spinning 
off a separate company Chandler Property Management, LLC. In 2019, Web merged 
his companies with Rose & Womble Realty, but he still led their Norfolk Office, 
operating as Chandler Realty. Web retired shortly thereafter. In 2023, Chandler 
Realty merged into RW Towne Realty, the top real estate firm in southeastern 
Virginia. During Web's time as a real estate broker, he was known by his team as 
a superb manager and leader of sales agents and was an expert at both calming 
the waters and closing the deal of the most challenging real estate 
transactions.
Web's life was anchored by his soulmate and wife, Lisa. They had a loving family 
life together, including a passion for protecting the environment and chocolate 
Labrador retrievers, especially their current Lab, Teague. They enjoyed hosting 
wild duck dinners for family and friends and traveling extensively. Web had many 
lifelong friendships - from elementary school to his beloved Beta brothers - all 
deeply treasured. He continued to volunteer on oyster shell recycling projects 
after retirement.
Web loved boating, sailing, crabbing, fishing, and hunting on the Eastern Shore, 
Chesapeake Bay, Elizabeth River and the mountains of Virginia. Like his father 
and brothers, he was deeply attached to the Coast Guard Station at Cedar Island 
and Henry's Point Farm on the Eastern Shore, and to all the families who are 
part of those cherished places.
He was a member the Norfolk German Club, the Pyramid Club, Folly Creek 
Corporation Board, Monarch Bank Advisory Board, Towne Bank Advisory Board, 
Norfolk Yacht and Country Club, and was a longstanding member and usher of 
Church of the Good Shepherd.
The family would like to thank all of the dedicated staff at Harbour's Edge 
Memory Care.
A celebration of his life will be held at 11:00 am, Friday May 15, 2026 at the 
Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, 7400 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23505, 
with a reception at the Norfolk Yacht and Country Club afterwards. Burial will 
be private in Elmwood Cemetery. The family suggests that memorial donations may 
be made to the Church of the Good Shepherd, the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk, or a 
charity of your choice. H.D. Oliver Funeral Apts., Norfolk Chapel, is handling 
arrangements and online condolences may be offered at hdoliver.com
