Shirley Chandler, affectionately known as "Big Baby", was born August 31, 1955 in Indianapolis, IN to Elijah and Mamie Chandler. She was very close to her parents and siblings and enjoyed spending quality time with her loved ones especially during the holidays and special gatherings with uncles, aunts, and cousins. Shirley graduated from Shortridge High School.
Shirley was a wonderful caregiver to everyone. First to her daughter, Dawn Cherise Chandler, who required special care. She made sure Dawn was happy and always had everything she needed and wanted. With great integrity and honor, she cared for her mother and father toward the later end of their lives. She did not stop there, she continued to provide care to those in need within her direct community. In addition, she was very caring and affectionate to her many nieces and nephews.
Shirley never met a stranger and was a generous soul to all. She was considered to be the life of the party while socializing with her friends and catching up on the latest news. Her sense of humor was contagious. She was unselfish and dependable. anyone who knew her, knew they had someone they could count on. She was the protector, the babysitter, the confidant, and so much more to many people.
Her fight with cancer was truly a testament of her character, strength and perseverance. She fought until God called her home with her family faithfully by her side. On March 2, 2022 at 8"07 pm God and his sovereignty decided it was time to bring our dear Shirley home to rest. Her light shined and she touched so many people. Showing her love was her most precious gift she left behind. We will forever miss her and her beautiful spirit will live within us all.
