On March 18, 2010, Audie Le Nora Chandler Reeder went to spend the rest of her eternal life with God. She was born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma on Dec. 18.1917. She grew up in Ponca City with her mom and dad, Carl and Marie (Murphy) Chandler, and her sisters, Nona and Zella, and brother Raymond.

Audie married William R. Reeder and moved to Louisiana, where she spent the next twenty years raising a family, teaching special education and Sunday school. She loved art projects, often times you could find her sewing or making ceramics. Another love was planning long family vacations all across the U.S., but her favorite trips were with Bill, dropping a fishing line wherever there was a body of water.

After the love of her life passed, Audie moved back to Ponca City to care for her mom and dad in their final years, and spend time with “The Girls” Dema Combs and Jane Bryant. Audie has been lovingly cared for by the staff of Grace Living Center for the last six years.

She is survived by her daughters Julie Hall and her husband, Victor of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Lorie Chance of Albuquerque, New Mexico; granddaughters Megan and Shelby Smith, and Kayla Chance Snell; her brother Raymond Chandler of Fort Worth, Texas; her brother in law Wayne Bass of Ponca City, Oklahoma and numerous nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her two sisters, Nona Bass and Zella Chandler.

Graveside services will be held at Odd Fellows Cemetery, Ponca City, Oklahoma, Monday, March 22, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. with Pastor Don Huddleston of the Church of Christ, Ponca City officiating.  Arrangements are under the direction of Tonkawa Funeral Home, Tonkawa, Oklahoma.
