Obituary of J Earl Chambers

May 13, 1926 - April 21, 2013

J. Earl Chambers of Kimberley, beloved husband, dad, grandfather and friend, passed away three weeks before his 87th birthday.

Earl began his teaching career at McKim High School in 1951 and taught in several districts throughout the province before settling down in Coquitlam, where he retired in 1982. Kris and Earl moved back to Kimberley in 1991, where he continued his interest in hiking, vintage cars, and the Masonic Order. Earl enjoyed volunteering at the Kimberley Heritage Museum and for the City Of Kimberley.

Earl is survived by his loving wife of 64 years Kristine, daughter Jo-Ann (Bob) Moody, grandchildren Jenn and Byron, brothers Phillip (Grace) and Jim (Dorrie), brother-in-law Art Christensen (Ione), sisters-in-law Margaret Christensen and Agnes Christensen, and many nieces and nephews.

His family wishes to thank their friends and relatives for their support during this difficult time. We also wish to thank the caring staff at East Kootenay Regional Hospital as well as the compassionate and supportive staff at Joseph Creek Care Village.

A memorial service for Earl will be held on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 2:00 pm at McPherson Funeral Home in Kimberley, BC.
