Lillian Louise (Farmer) Chalmers passed away on Thursday, February 4, 2010, in Brewton, AL. She was born in Memphis, TN, just as the world was being engulfed in the war to end all wars on November 11, 1914. Shortly after her birth until 1969 she lived in New Orleans, LA, where she graduated from Allen High School and business school. She was an avid sportswoman. In addition to being president of the Claiborne Bowling Team, she was a top-notch tennis player, dedicated swimmer, and skilled golfer. During the 1930s and 1940s she worked for the Union Savings and Loan Association first as a cashier then as an assistant bookkeeper. Here she met Buddy Chalmers. Since company policy prohibited employees from marrying she went to work for the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau. She and Charles Milton Chalmers were married in 1950 and enjoyed seven glorious years together before he unexpectedly passed away in 1957. When the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau relocated to Pensacola, FL, in 1969 she left the city she loved taking her elderly mother with her. In the ensuing years with the Bureau she became first the office manager and then the controller. During her close to 30 years working in the industry she became known as an indispensable institution. She was a confident for women in the office, and her wit, thoughtfulness, diligence, loyalty, terrific smile, and contagious zest for living were cited as creating an enviable office environment of cooperation and productivity. She received over 40 testimonials when she retired in 1979. Even a poem, The Ode to Mrs. Chalmers, was written for her. Clearly her deep personal concern for everyone she worked with, including their families, set her apart. Even the most difficult confrontation was neutralized when she applied her famous, Now Dahling. . ." During her retirement she and her many good friends enjoyed each others company to the fullest. She always relished activities that challenged the mind. At age 95 she was still a loving, charming, magnetic, and somewhat daunting personality completely in control. She received the first Resident of the Month award to be given at the assisted living facility where she resided. Her parents William Henry Farmer and the former Lillian Pohlman, her sons Thomas Joseph Mullin III and William Henry Mullin, and her sister Ruth Ellen Jewett, preceded her in death. She is survived by her numerous dear friends of many years, and by Sarah Ann Till whom she considered to be like a daughter. Funeral Service will be held at 10:00am Saturday, February 6, 2010 at Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel, with Rev. Ken Griffin officiating. Interment will be in Historic Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans, LA, beside her beloved husband Buddy. In lieu of flowers please make memorials to the charity of your choice. HARPER-MORRIS MEMORIAL CHAPEL is in charge of arrangements.
