Burial will follow in Ahavath Achim Cemetery in Tyler under direction of Stewart Family Funeral Home. Mrs. Chalmers passed away, Tuesday, December 16, 2008, at the Angleton Danbury Medical Center in Angleton. She was born September 6, 1946, in Dallas, Texas to the late Isadore and Esther Miller Sulsky. Mrs. Chalmers was raised in Tyler and graduated from Robert E. Lee High School. From there, she went on to become an Apache Belle at Tyler Junior College. In 1968 she graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a degree in education. After graduation she moved to Angleton and became a teacher in 1969, where she was an 8th grade English teacher and taught for 30 plus years. She lived the rest of her life in Angleton, and was currently serving on the Angleton Independent School District Board of Trustees. She dedicated her life to her family and the children she taught. Her home was always full of toys and gifts for her kids of the community, and her heart was always open and ready to love her family, friends and every child. She will always be known to the community as “Aunt Fannie”. She was preceded in death by her brother, Harold Sulsky; grandmother, Hannah Goldstein; stepfather, Sylvan Mellinger. Frances is survived by her loving family including her husband of 35 years, Eddie Chalmers of Angleton; her son, Sam Chalmers and wife Jill of Richwood and her daughter, Hanna Chalmers of Angleton. In addition, Frances was overwhelmingly excited by the recent news that she was expecting her first grandchild this July. Honorary pallbearers will be Dr. Issac Kleinman, Yancy Parsons, Bruce Rogers, Dr. Wiley Roosth, Matthew Swerdlow, William Tigner and Marc Wolfe.
