Mary's Story

I now live in Donna, TX after living in Oklahoma City, OK from 1968-2013.. I married in 1967, but lost the first love of my life, Bill to a heart attack in 1993, after 26 years of marriage,. We had two beautiful daughters, both of whom are married and have made me a very proud grandma. When Bill and I married I also acquired three step children who I loved dearly, two daughters and one son. I remarried in 1998 but sadly Bob, the second love of my life, passed in 2009 from a rare blood disease. We had been married for 11 years. . As for a career, it has been quite diversified. I even tried my hand at real estate and then auto sales. I hated real estate but loved being a Fleet and Lease Manager for several years. In my spare time I worked hard at my dream of being an entertainer. I became a country singer with my own band for about 10 years and did quite well earning several awards and cutting some records while holding down a day job and being a wife and mom. But I had a major life changing decision and began to serve the Lord. I am now retired now after almost 20 years of being a minister. Having lots of fun going to dances, bowling and just enjoying life in general. Feb 2014 update: I did in fact sell my home in Oklahoma City and moved to Donna, Texas here in the Rio Grande Valley. It is something I think I should have done years ago as I really love it here and the people in the park where I am are wonderful. There is so much to do that I am rarely home except to sleep..LOL!! April 2014 update: Once again God has blessed me abundantly. I met Doug, who is from Iowa, at one of the functions I attended and it wasn't long till we were going out all the time. He popped the question in front of all our friends one day just recently and presented me with a beau...Expand for more
tiful ring. Of course I did say yes! We were married on the 23rd of March and I have begun yet another chapter of my life. Needless to say I am VERY excited about it. We are spending the summer months traveling in our 5th wheel and plan at least one visit to MN in between music festivals in the mid-west area. Nov 2014 update: What a wonderful visit we all had in Mpls this summer when we were in town! So looking forward to next years reunion. Many thanks to those who are working hard to put this event together! July 2017 update: Doug and I have now been married for three years and what a ride this has been. We both love to travel and for the past two years we have been entertaining at many of the parks in the valley after forming our own band here. We are amazed by the calls we get! Everyone is welcome to check out our page on FB at "the chamberlins with southern express". In 2016 I also became the full time pastor here at our park in the valley when the pastor who had been here for many years fell ill. So as you can see my days of retirement have ended but I am not complaining at all...I love it!! Who would have thought that I would have to wait until my later years to be having so much fun and doing all the things I have always dreamed of!! August 2020 update: Covid 19 has kept us from traveling this year as all our summer music venue's canceled everything, even Branson. Not complaining though as it allowed us time for Doug to have some surgery and recovery time. We aren't certain what the winter months will hold because some parks are already beginning to cancel events so who knows, we might have lots of free time this year. Whatever happens, God is still good and He is in control. Hope to see everyone next year for the Reunion that we missed this year!
