Earl Douglas Chambers
(December 22, 1930 - June 14, 2014)



Earl Douglas Chambers, 83, died on June 14, 2014, escaping the bonds of a body weakened by rheumatoid arthritis and a mind clouded by Alzheimer's disease.  Born in Stollings, West Virginia on December 22, 1930 to Earl and Audrey Chambers, Doug and his brother Mike lived what they described as a "perfect childhood" roaming the hills of Logan County. Doug left Logan County to attend Marshall College (now Marshall University) in 1949, later earning a B.A. in History. Drafted into the U. S. Army in 1953, Doug served as a Psychiatric Technician at Walter Reed Army Hospital and the Military District of Washington. Doug married Ann Koehler on July 15, 1953. Together Ann and Doug had five children; Katherine Burt, Margaret Brooke, Jane Audrey, Douglas Bradner, and Paul Earl. Sadly, Kathy died as a child.  Doug settled in Huntington and worked as a restaurant manager and later owned a catering company. Doug and Ann lived happily, raising their children and enjoying their grandchildren until Ann�s death in 2000. In 2004, Doug married Mary Lee Godby, with whom he enjoyed his remaining days until failing health separated them. Doug spent his last months in the home and loving care of his daughter Jane, with the help of the entire family.  Doug is survived by his wife Mary Lee, his brother Mike Chambers; his children and their spouses, Margy and Mike Kennedy, Jane and Ron Brownfield, Doug and Janet Chambers, and Paul and Catherine Chambers; grandchildren Noah Kennedy, Brooke Ann Cochran, Jared Brownfield, Aaron Brownfield, Caleb Brownfield, Anna Chambers, Elizabeth Ann Chambers, Annie Brownfield, Rebecca Chambers, and Charles Chambers; and great-grandchildren, Sam Cochran, Ian Cochran, and Owen Kennedy.  A visitation will be held Tuesday from 6:00 to 8:00 at Chapman's Mortuary, Huntington, West Virginia.
