She was born at the Memorial hospital in North Conway and has lived in the town of Bartlett all her life. She was the daughter of Robert Randall Chandler and Lilah Alice Garland. Edie attended Josiah Bartlett School and later took several college courses at Kennett High School. She loved learning, and if she did not know something, she would search until she found the answer. Her unrealized dream was to be a teacher.

She worked at several places including The Wooden Soldier, JV Components, The Peg Mill, Whitney's, Christmas Farm Inn and The Seasons. Her hobbies were cooking, drawing, painting, photography, and singing. She loved math, trivia, sudoku, and crossword puzzles. She was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox.

She was very patriotic and a member of The American Legion Unit 95 Auxiliary in which she served as the Secretary for two terms. She later transferred to Unit 200. She has been an auxiliary member for a total of 26 years.

She leaves behind a daughter Katherine Labbe of Wichita, Kansas, a son Roger Labbe, Jr of Golden, CO, a grandson, Ryan, also of Kansas. Two brothers Michael Chandler of Glen NH and Lloyd Chandler of Bartlett NH. Five sisters Yvonne Hatfield of Washington, Mary Hall of Glen, Joanne Lufkin of Glen, Judy Chandler of Washington, Jeanne Chandler of Glen, along with numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. She also leaves her long time friend Albert Graves of Stow, Maine. She was predeceased by her father and mother, two brothers Ralph Chandler of Glen and Derrill Chandler of Palmyra, Maine, of whom she considered to be her best friend.

At her request, there will be no visiting hours or service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to the Gibson Center or Jen's Friends.
