Leonora Chandler

Lenora Chandler, 65, of San Antonio, Texas, passed away peacefully on June 22, 2026. She was born on August 22, 1960, in Dayton, Ohio.

Lenora was a beautiful soul whose kindness, strength, grace, and generosity touched everyone who knew her.

Family was the center of Lenora’s world. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a cherished mother-in-law, and a proud grandmother. Nothing brought her greater joy than spending time with the people she loved most.

Lenora also had a special love for animals, especially her beloved cats—Jasper, Milo, Noodles, and Leo—who brought her endless comfort and companionship.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jim Chandler; her parents, Frank and Mary Medina; her brothers, Lonnie Medina and George Medina; and her sister, Yolanda Medina.

She is lovingly remembered by her sons, Jason Chandler and Brian Chandler; her daughters-in-law, Jackie Williams and Tylan Chandler; her grandchildren, Aiden Williams, Andrew Williams, Kylee Parker, and James Chandler; her brother, Eddie Medina; her sister, Angie Medina; and many extended family members and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.

Lenora leaves behind a legacy of unconditional love, quiet strength, and unwavering kindness. Though she will be deeply missed, her love and the countless memories she created will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.
