Carolyn Carter Chandler

Carolyn received her Bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State University and her Master's in Social Work from the University of Tennessee at Nashville. Carolyn worked as a social worker in Alabama before becoming a stay-at-home mom while raising her two sons in Alexandria, Virginia. She pursued real estate investing with her beloved husband Roy in the early 2000's and managed several rental properties during that time. She loved spending time with her family and became a grandmother in 2014.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her husband of 34 years, Roy A. Chandler, Jr., who passed away unexpectedly in September 2014.

Following Roy's death, Carolyn moved to Austin from her home in Virginia to be near family while battling Alzheimer's disease.

Chandler, Sr, her sisters-in-law Somer McElyea and Judy Callahan, brother-in-law Corey Chandler, nephew Brandon Browing, and niece Kelly Putman, all of Alabama.
