Beverly Chancy, 68, of Pensacola lost her battle with cancer on Friday, May 23, 2014. She was born to Harry and Rosetta Trice Yarbrough in Alabama in the summer of 1945. She is preceded in death by her only sibling, Lucretia Gay of Birmingham, AL. BJ was married in 1964 to Richard Herbert Landgraf of Montgomery, AL and has two sons, Richard Graham "Gary" Landgraf of San Antonio, TX and William Scott Landgraf of Pensacola, FL. She attended Auburn University at Montgomery majoring in Criminal Justice resulting in her lifetime love and commitment to her career starting with Montgomery, AL Police Dept. She was the 5th female to be hired as a Patrol Officer and served in all departments ending with being assigned as night shift Corporal/Supervisor in home invasion division. BJ formed Montgomery's first Sexual Battery unit and undercover decoy squad. In 1984 she relocated to Pensacola and joined the Escambia County Sheriff's office where she served as a patrol officer, undercover officer, personal assistant to Sheriff Charlie Johnson and Civil Division officer where she retired as a Sergeant in 1995 after the discovery of breast cancer. She married L. James "Jim" Chancy in 1994 adding two step-daughters; Cheryl Hempfleng and Janice Miller of Pensacola to her family. She leaves three beautiful grandsons who had a large part of her heart. BJ's love after her law enforcement career was only surpassed by her love for family, close friends and pets. She's be remembered for her crazy, sometimes warped sense of humor and and enjoyment of a good practical joke on anyone.
