Adren Nell Chandler

Adren Nell Chandler, born on November 19, 1956, in Fort Worth, Texas, passed away on March 6, 2026. She was the beloved daughter of Martha Holliday and James E. Chandler, and a devoted sister to Hope Tomlinson, Dean Chandler, Mark Chandler, and Robert Holliday.

Adren was a loving wife to Andy Shoemaker and a cherished mother to Buster Crouch, Mandie Wofford, Michelle Smith, Lindsay Stanley, and Samantha Lewis. Her deep Christian faith guided her throughout life, shaping her values and the love she poured into her family. She found great peace and joy near the water in Galveston, where long walks along the beach brought her a profound sense of God’s presence. Adren’s home was a warm gathering place filled with laughter, good food, and open doors. She cared tenderly for animals, danced to her favorite country music, and taught her children to find happiness in life’s simple pleasures.

Those who knew Adren will remember her kindness, her generous spirit, and the way she lived out her faith through compassion and forgiveness. She leaves behind a family who will carry her love and example in their hearts for years to come.
