Linda Chandler

Mrs. Linda Chandler (nee Smith), beloved wife of Les Chandler, passed away on May 6, 2024, in Roseville, California, at the age of 65.  Linda was born on May 24, 1958, at Vandenberg AFB, Santa Barbara County, California, to Anne Smith and the late Arden Smith.

Linda will always be cherished for her warm-hearted nature, kindness, and exceptional ability to make everyone feel valued.  She was a dedicated wife of 46 years to Les Chandler, a loving mother to Monica Bennion and Valerie Lloyd, and a doting grandmother to Presley, Grace, and Ellie Lloyd, and many granddogs and grandcats.  Linda's family was her top priority, and she treasured spending time with her four sisters, mother, and closest friends.

In her leisure time, Linda found solace in her garden, surrounded by their beloved cat and a variety of exotic flowers and plants that she tended to regularly.  She and Les enjoyed traveling to Buhl, Idaho, and Boca Raton, Florida, to create special memories with their daughters and their families.

A Celebration of Life in honor of Linda will be held on July 27, 2024, at 10:30 AM at the Old St. Mary's Chapel, 5251 Front Street, Rocklin, CA 95677.  Following the service, a light lunch will be served on the patio for family and friends to reminisce about Linda's wonderful life.
