Bette Chandler Obituary (2021) – Vernal, UT

Bette Jean Chandler

Bette Jean Chandler, 78 years old, died on Wednesday June 16, 2021 with family members around her in Vernal, UT. We are now celebrating her life that began in New York with Mother Helen, Father Milton and Brother Roger. New York is also where Bette gave birth to her three daughters: Mary, Sarah and Faith. Bettes three sons were all born in Arizona: Michael, Daniel, Peter. Bette had three wonderful in-laws: Victor, Benjamin and Maribel, who were like children to them.

While Bette made her way through Arizona, the joy was mostly a ray of hope for anyone who just needed to know that there was someone ready to get in touch. Bette may speak to a hungry family about the services available to them and then provide them with food. She liked to be closely involved. In her work as a tax specialist, Bette always demonstrated the same service principles that led her through difficult situations. People close to Bette knew how important it was to build relationships and make others feel good.

The people who were close to Bette knew how much she valued her friendships and enjoyed the opportunities to meet, be it for a pastrami sandwich or a church meeting. No matter where, you would see this lovely woman do her best to enjoy your company and the moment. These meetings gave everyone a chance to feel the light they were radiating and if you could make her laugh it would be even more special. Bette worked hard and could eat the fruits of that labor while celebrating her family’s heritage in Israel. Going to Israel had been a goal for her for many years and was important to her. In the end, she was able to achieve that goal.

Bette would say that her legacy lives on through her greatest blessing. These blessings are the blessings of their children. Bette had eight grandchildren spread across Arizona and Utah: Isabel, Victor Jr., Anthony, Faith, Hope, Addison, Talina, and Michael. Bettes three great-grandchildren are also distributed between Arizona and Utah: Matthew, Noah and Adam. We’ll always get a look at her if one of the kids smiles just right. It’s just one of the ways she’ll live on. You will be missed forever and never forgotten.
