Chandler was always fashion conscious and in style. She always wears heels or ballet type shoes. She does not wear flip-flops or jeans. In fact, at family functions, such as Thanksgiving, everyone else would be in casual dress but not Chandler, she was always a lady in every sense of the word and was dressed as a Christian young lady. One time, Aunt Patsy Watts, remembers her coming to ride horses with Landon and Chandler showed up in a black jumpsuit and 4-inch heels. Aunt Patsy is also giving Chandler cooking lessons. One of her fellow youth at Betta View, Danielle Swain, recalls a church lock-in where they all tried to stay up all night…it didn’t work. Friends say that she is hilarious and really fun to be around and of course in true Southern Girl style, Chandler drives a Jeep.

Dena Pressley remembers at a church convention in Atlanta, Chandler was seen turning cartwheels outside the hotel room while hanging out with her youth group. She is always willing to take time to pose for pictures or speak with everyone even though she may be exhausted from all of her activities and functions. She never makes you feel like she is better than you or that you do not matter to her. It can also be said that yes, Chandler is beautiful on the outside but she is also beautiful on the inside.
