Stephanie Lynn Chapel

Stephanie Lynn Chapel passed away following a courageous battle with Throat Cancer. She was 68 years old. Steph was born April 6, 1956, the daughter of Phil & Verna Karly. 

She graduated from Grand Junction High School and attended CSU on a music scholarship. She married Steve Chapel in August of 1982. 

She worked for Grand Valley National Bank and then the law firm of Lacroix & Hand for several years, retiring when Steve retired. She loved birds of all types and was Nurse Chapel to an injured hummer for a while.  She always had binoculars close by to check out different birds, whether at home or in the mountains. 

She is survived by her husband Steve, her daughter-in-law Kimberly & 5 Grand Kids, two in Virginia and three in Missouri, also her brother Greg (Lonni) & niece Joanna (Kevin). She always wished she could have spent more time with the Grandkids, and she loved them dearly. Her son Luke preceded her in death April 18^th, just 4 weeks ago. Not many people knew about Stephs cancer because she did not want anyone to treat her differently once they knew. Her wishes of no services will be honored.
