Chambless, Mary Waters
August 02, 1925 - June 27, 2011
Harrodsburg, KY
Visitation: 4-7 p.m. June 30, 2011 at Alexander & Royalty Funeral Home
Funeral Service: 10 a.m. July 01, 2011 at Harrodsburg United Methodist Church
Interment: Spring Hill Cemetery
Mary Waters Chambless passed away quietly June 27 at her Harrodsburg, KY home. Born August 2, 1925 in Pittsburgh, Penn., she was the fourth child and the second daughter of the late Mary Hilleary Shreve Waters Price and the attorney John Henry Waters. Her father was lost just one week before Mary was born. However, providence soon brought a new and loving father, Col. Carroll Porteous Price, M.D., a decorated military medical officer and the son of Dr. A. D. Price of Harrodsburg. The family followed Dr. Price to military appointments in many parts of the country. At age two, Mary traveled to Alaska with her parents. Family legend says that, to keep track of the toddler, her elder brothers tied her to a flag pole in the middle of the parade grounds at the Alaskan army post. At that age it was also discovered that Mary had a severe vision impairment, which she dealt with her characteristic grace and courage her entire life, even trying an early version of contact lenses in the 1940s,and later making many trips to specialists in Baltimore.. When the family moved to Seattle, Mary's younger brother, Monty Price, was born on the day of her sixth birthday party. As a ten-year-old, Mary traveled through the Panama Canal. The family was posted to Nebraska for a time. In 1943, they arrived home in Harrodsburg, where Dr. Price returned to private practice after retiring from active military service.
Mary attended the University of Nebraska, Duchesne College, and George Washington University before graduating with honors and an Bachelor of Arts degree in history and political science from Centre College in Danville. She then traveled for three months through Mexico to polish her Spanish language skills. She also studied for a time at the New York School of Interior Design before returning to Harrodsburg to be with her twice-widowed mother. She managed the Beaumont Inn Gift Shop and in 1958 began working as a commentator for WHBN Radio, both in Harrodsburg. Mary’s passion for world travel was truly inspired in 1960 by a trip to Cuba after Castro’s revolution. She brought a portable tape recorder with her and sent reports back to WHBN, where she had developed a following for her 45-minute weekday talk show. Her listeners so enjoyed her reports from Cuba and the surrounding area that she again dared to travel on her own. This time, she embarked on an even greater adventure, which she called the “Journey from the Heart of the Bluegrass to the Heart of the World.” Operating in the mode of President Eisenhower’s publicized “Journey into Understanding,” Mary felt it important to share her experiences with the young students who were studying the lands where she was going, “to make the cities on my itinerary more than just names looked at in a history book and quickly forgotten.” She sent back adult-level tapes for her radio audience and her presentations to youth groups virtually escorted students along with her on the trip. Before leaving on her world tour, she had received hundreds of letters from students asking her to find out how the people of foreign countries she was to visit dressed, their methods of farming, what industries were important to them, and how they felt about Americans. She selected Greece, Italy and Egypt for her travels, the ancient civilizations which had profoundly affected Western thought, and to satisfy her personal interests she added Turkey, Spain, and France. Along the way, she took thousands of photographs, recorded countless hours of interviews, and began writing articles about her travels for The Louisville Courier Journal.
Her work was commended by such notables as Edward R. Murrow, who was then director of the U.S. Information Agency. She also received many letters of encouragement from members of Congress and officials of American embassies abroad. From 1965 until his second marriage in 1969, Mary's brother Monty returned to Harrodsburg and Mary helped him care for his two young children. When the Price family moved to Lexington in 1969, Mary set off on a second memorable trip, through Africa and the Middle East. In the 1970s she often traveled to New York City and also made several trips to Europe in search of beautiful items for the Beaumont Inn Gift Shop. In 1978, Mary found enduring love with Robert Lee Chambless, a retired telephone company executive. Together they continued international travels, visiting China, Australia, New Zealand, and even Disney World. Between trips, the couple often played golf at Bright Leaf Country Club. Mary worked at WHBN, and Lee kept busy repairing antique clocks. When Lee became ill, Mary cared for him in their home until he passed away in 1999. Never one to sit at home, Mary continued to work for the radio station and to travel. She enjoyed several cruises with her sister-in-law, Betty Waters, of Arkansas and also traveled to Europe and Turkey with her niece, Mary Hilleary Waters. Mary was an avid golfer at Bright Leaf and chronicled the club’s ladies golf league with her “Tee Time” column in the Harrodsburg Herald. She was also a member of the Harrodsburg Women’s Club. A long-time member of Harrodsburg United Methodist Church, for many years she arranged flowers for worship services and taught Sunday School. At Thanksgiving Mary welcomed members of the Waters family to Harrodsburg, and she spent Christmas in Texas with her brother Monty and his family. At age 83, after major heart surgery, Mary concluded her 50-year career with WHBN. In a letter Mary once wrote to her nephew, Monty Price, Jr., she laid out her philosophy for living “a happy, meaningful life”:
“A person may be afraid of failure,” she wrote. “All of us fail at something new. We just have to MAKE ourselves get up and go. The secret is—You have to do it yourself. There may be others to help, but when it comes down to basics, you have to help yourself. This is what God tells you over and over in the Bible. You must discover whatever talent you have-small or great-and use it.” Mary Waters Chambless practiced what she preached. Despite her impaired vision, Mary spent a lifetime teaching others to see. Survivors include her brother, Monty Price, Sr., his sons, nephews Monty, Jr. and Preston, and his daughter, niece Jeannette Price Nelson; nieces Brooke Ballantyne and Mary Hilleary Waters; nephews Charles, Jr. and Kevin Waters; grand-nieces Isla Waters and Lauren Waters; grand-nephews Charles Waters, Jr., Taylor Waters, Connor and Kyle Nelson and Garrison Seeber; three step-sons, Robert Lee Chambless Jr., Thomas and John William Chambless; two step-daughters, Rita Chambless West and Robin Chambless; 11 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held Friday, July 1 at 10 a.m. at the Harrodsburg United Methodist Church, 128 S. Chiles. The service will be officiated by Pastors Jimmy Owens and Ken Klemme.
