CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF ALBERTA WILENE PERRY-CHAMBERS

ALBERTA CHAMBERS, AGE 93, ENDED HER JOURNEY OF LIFE PEACEFULLY ON JANUARY 2, 2019, AT HER HOME.

ALBERTA WAS BORN IN PORTSMOUTH, OHIO ON NOVEMBER 30, 1925, TO THE LATE OTIS AND EVA PERRY. ALBERTA WAS THE YOUNGEST SISTER TO LORENE HARLAN AND EVA SMITH.

ALBERTA COMPLETED HIGH SCHOOL IN PORTSMOUTH, OHIO, WHERE SHE MET HER LATE HUSBAND, GLENN M. CHAMBERS.  THEY WERE MARRIED ON MARCH 28, 1948. THEY WERE BLESSED WITH TWO CHILDREN: TONI CHAMBERS-JACKSON AND DALE CHAMBERS, THREE GRANDCHILDREN: MARCUS JACKSON, ERIN PARKER AND LUKE FREDERICK AS WELL AS NUMEROUS RELATIVES AND FRIENDS.

ALBERTA HAD A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE WHEN HER HUSBAND DIED WHEN THEY WERE BOTH 39 YEARS OF AGE.  ALBERTA BECAME THE HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD AND MAINTAINED THE SAME LIFE STYLE HER FAMILY HAD BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO, BY WORKING HER WAY UP THE LADDER TO BECOME A SUPERVISOR AT THE LEVI STRAUSS COMPANY.  AFTER RETIRING, SHE WORKED WITH SUCH JOY AND SATISFACTION IN THE CAFETERIA IN THE ERLANGER-ELSMERE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AFTER HER SECOND RETIREMENT, ALBERTA TRAVELED ANYWHERE HER CHILDREN WANTED HER TO BE AS PART OF THEIR VACATIONS AND HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS.  ALBERTA ALSO LOVED HER WEEKLY ATTENDANCE AT THE ELSMERE SENIOR CENTER WHERE SHE ESTABLISHED MANY NEW AND LASTING RELATIONSHIPS.  SHE PARTICIPATED IN DANCE CLASSES AND WAS KNOWN TO BE ONE OF THE BEST BOWLERS ON THE SENIOR Wii BOWLING TEAM.

ALBERTA WAS NOT DEFINED BY HER AGE!  SHE TOOK GREAT PRIDE IN HER APPEARANCE AND SHE DRESSED IMPECCABLY.   ONE OF HER PASTTIMES WAS LEARNING HOW TO USE THE LASTEST Iphone WHERE SHE STARTED HER FACEBOOK ACCOUNT AT AGE 91.  SHE WAS FLEXIBLE AND OPEN TO THE MANY ADVENTURES THAT LIFE BROUGHT AND WAS NOT AFRAID TO TRY NEW THINGS.

SHE WAS A BELIEVER IN THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND LIVED A LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN VALUES AND TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST.  ALBERTA WORSHIPPED AT THE BARNES TEMPLE AME CHURCH IN ELSMERE, KENTUCKY WITH HER LOVING CHURCH FAMILY.

SHE WAS BLESSED WITH THE FRIENDSHIP OF SEVERAL FRIENDS WHO PREDECEASED HER, INCLUDING, JOHNNIE MAE BRYANT, LILLIAN JOHNSON AND LILLIE BAKER.  BEING GIFTED WITH A LONG AND WONDERFUL LIFE, ALBERTA WAS THRILLED TO STAND IN THE PLACE OF A MOTHER OR SHARE A WORD OF WISDOM AND COMFORT TO THE CHILDREN OF HER DECEASED FRIENDS AND THEY RETURNED TO  HER LOVE AND KINDNESS AND WERE PATIENT WITH HER INQUISITIVENESS ABOUT THE NEW WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY.

ALBERTA WAS A BEAUTIFUL AND DIGNIFIED WOMAN WHO WAS WISE, HUMBLE, KIND AND GENEROUS TO ALL WHO SHARED IN HER LIFE'S JOURNEY.

IN HER FINAL DAYS, SHE OFTEN REMINDED HER IMMEDIATE FAMILY THAT SHE HAD NO FEAR AS SHE HAD LIVED A MEANINGFUL AND FULFILLING LIFE!

REST, ALBERTA, IN THE PEACE, LOVE AND COMFORT OF THE ALMIGHTY!
