Chandelle Walker

Chandelle Walker was raised in Arizona and met her husband, Mike, in California while he was serving in the Marine Corps. They have two children and one funny Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix that they all adore. They have been an active Army family since 2003 and have persevered through many separations, including five deployments to Afghanistan and Korea, each being a year long. The Army has allowed them to have adventures in Alabama, North Carolina, Arizona, and Texas.

Chandelle enjoys writing poems, crafting, home decorating, playing the piano, being outdoors and meeting new people. She looks forward to publishing more children’s books in the near future!

Since releasing her first children’s book, “Daddy Left with Mr. Army: A Child’s View of Military Deployment,” Chandelle has received a Bronze Medal writing award from Military Writers Society of America in 2019. In February 2020, she was named the Fort Hood Spouse of the Year and looks forward to helping military families better thrive through deployments and family separations.
