Mrs. Ollie Mae "Polly" Chandler

Ollie Mae (Polly) Hembree Chandler passed away Thursday at the age of 90. She was employed by the Unique Knitting Mill in her early years, the Bell Bomber plant during the war and later retired from the Internal Revenue Service. Her chief joys in life were raising her children, partnering with her husband in building homes, travelling and refining her collections of Royal Doulton figurines, Depression glass and Aladdin lamps. She was a member of the Acworth United Methodist Church, the Acworth Garden Club and the bridge club for many years. She will be remembered by all who knew her for her quick smile, her ready laughter and her kind, fun loving, and generous spirit.
