Kendall Jay Chancellor, 68, passed away on March 4, 2026 in Pensacola, Florida after a brave battle with cancer. Born on October 24, 1957 to Edwin Gesner (E.G.) Chancellor and Jewel Grace Chancellor in Enterprise, Alabama, he was a life-long lover of the outdoors. His many activities included hiking, back-packing, camping, fishing, and pretty much anything he could do outside. He loved bush-hogging, mowing the yard, using his weed eater and growing a vegetable garden and was obsessed with having great grass in his yard. His adventures with his sons were some of the happiest times of his life. His younger son even gave him the nickname of “Sir Camps-a-lot” on one trip. They loved driving out to Colorado and Utah and other parts of the west and stopping at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas. They hiked the Appalachian Trail and in Acadia in Maine. Kendall served as scout master when his sons were involved in scouts. He humored his wife by traveling to all the places she wanted to see. He was an avid Alabama fan and enjoyed the games he was able to attend in person with his brother Larry as well as “coaching” them through the television set. He also played many sports in high school.
Kendall was also a Tang Soo Do 5th Dan Master. Tang Soo Do was a huge part of his life for over twenty-five years and he was proud of the Master level he attained before his health forced him to stop practicing martial arts.
Kendall worked as a certified public accountant for over forty years and had many clients who respected and loved him.
Kendall is survived by his wife of 43 years, Sherry Fowler Chancellor and his two sons, Eric (Lindsay) and Rhett. He also had two grandsons he adored, Benjamin and Finn. A life-long cat lover, he had two cats at the time of his passing, Jean-Michel and Pierre.
He is also survived by his sisters, Sandra Tew (Troy) of Birmingham, Alabama, Glenda (Ned) Jones of Geneva, Alabama, Cheryl Marsh of Enterprise, Alabama, and Janet Chancellor of Enterprise, Alabama. He is also survived by sisters-in-law, Janice Chancellor, of Chancellor, Alabama, Rhonda Fowler, Pensacola, Florida and father-in-law, Donald Fowler, as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews and great-great nieces and nephews, all of whom he loved very much.

Grace Chancellor, Brothers, Jerry Chancellor and Larry Chancellor, sister-in-law, Grace Chancellor, brother-in-law, Lomax Marsh, and great-nephews, Joshua Jones and Andre Black.

Alberta grew up in Penville, Indiana, where she spent much of her childhood with her grandparents. Her family traveled often due to her father owning and operating telephone companies. Eventually, the family settled in Sebring, Florida, where Alberta met the love of her life, Pete Ingle.
Alberta and Pete later moved to Bonifay in the summer of 1962 when Tri-County Telephone Company was sold and Pete was sent to manage the new Florida holdings. Bonifay would become the community where Alberta devoted many years of her life serving others and raising her family.
A gifted seamstress, Alberta lovingly made many of her own clothes as well as all of her daughters’ clothing. She was known for her talent, creativity, and attention to detail. Alberta was also very active in her community. She devoted countless hours to church activities, civic organizations, and many other local efforts that supported families and children.
Alberta lived many happy years in Bonifay before moving to Whitehall Assisted Living in Dothan to be closer to her two daughters. As her health declined, she later moved to The Neighborhood at Grove Park Memory Care, where she continued to be surrounded by loving care.
Throughout her life, Alberta maintained a strong personality, a positive outlook, and a determined spirit that left a lasting impression on everyone around her.
