Obituary

OREGON - Barbara Jean Chandler, age 74, of Oregon, Wis., passed away peacefully on Thursday, Dec. 15, 2022, at UW Hospital and Clinics. She was born on Oct. 10, 1948, in Stoughton, Wis., the daughter of Oscar Swenson and Marie (Offerdahl) Swenson.  She graduated from Stoughton High School and married Patrick Chandler on Sept. 2, 1967.


Barb was proud of her Norwegian heritage and had a fondness for lefsa. (UFFda!)  She enjoyed spending time at their home on the lake in Tomahawk.  Barb loved to visit supper clubs with family and friends.  She had a great love for animals and adopted her pets. Her biggest love of all was being a mother and spoiling her grandkids.  


Barb is survived by husband, Patrick; son, Jay (Angela) Chandler; daughter, Kim (Dante) De Marco; three grandchildren, Hayleigh and Blake Chandler and Antonio De Marco. She was preceded in death by her parents.


A private entombment will be held at Roselawn Memorial Park.  A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

I have so many childhood memories of Barb as she took care of me for years after school and during the summers. She taught me to swim and eventually I was able to do flips off the diving board at her pool. It was with Barb and her kids that I learned not to eat soft serve ice cream in the back of a car with the windows open and not to do a wheelie on my banana seat garage sale bargain bike. She was patient with us as kids and had cute dogs to greet us when we arrived. I have thought of her often throughout the years but sadly have not done a great job at keeping in touch. I’ll thinking of her family during this difficult time. Angela (McAllister) Wolbrink
