Valaine Chapman Obituary
Valaine was born on March 28, 1940 in Salina, Utah to Donald Lawrence Hoggan and Iola Caroline Jensen. She grew up in Manti, Utah and graduated from Manti High School in 1958 before attending Snow College.
Valaine married Paul Henry Chapman and they had three children. Her greatest joy and love in life was her children and grandchildren. She attended numerous family sports events, school performances, and never missed a parent teacher conference. She was always a pillar of support, encouragement and strength.
Valaine was a stay at home Mom until her youngest child started school then returned to the workforce. She enjoyed people and was appreciated by all who worked with and worked for her. She retired in 2006 after periods of time working at LeVoy's, Western Foods Service, The Delta Center and Jordan Commons Theater.
Valaine was artistic and loved working with her hands. She was an avid quilter and placed at the Utah State Fair in hand quilting. She enjoyed being outside and working in her garden. She was known for her wonderful cooking skills, homemade jams, and the best dill pickles.
Valaine is survived by her children Thomas (Brenda) Chapman, Audrey (Byron) Warfield-Graham, Kevin Chapman, and granddaughters Emily and Sarah Chapman. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Paul, and brother Tom Hoggan.

My heart aches to hear of Vals passing. I worked with Val many years ago at the Jordan Commons. She was such a wonderful person. She always treated me with respect and friendship. We spent hours chatting.I will never forget the day she came to me with a huge smile on her face to say that she had just payed her house off. She was so excited. For some reason that memory has always stuck with me. She looked so happy that day. I'm glad that I had a chance to get to know her. The world has lost a truly beautiful person.

So sorry for your loss Tom and family. You were so good to take care of her and meet her needs and wants these last three years and you can take great comfort in that! She was tough and loving and so glad she raised great children. You are all quite remarkable and we know moms contribute to making remarkable people.

Tom, Audrey & Kevin;
I'm very sad to hear of your Mom's passing. She was always thought of as generous and fun by the people in the "old neighborhood".
I just found out, and read the Obituary. Took me back to fun times I had in Manti at Valaine and her fathers house. When ever she spoke of her childhood, I could picture her story more realistic since I'd been there and met her father. She always made me feel at home when I visited. GREAT LADY'
All my condolences, GARY
