Jacqueline Kay Chapman

Jacqueline Kay Chapman, known to loved ones as "Jackie or Granny," passed away peacefully on July 19, 2025, in Gilbert, Arizona, at the age of 83.
Jackie was born on October 28, 1941, in Los Angeles, California, and was raised in Green River, Wyoming, alongside her brother, Thomas, by their parents, Russell and June Cameron.
She married the love of her life, Jerry L. Chapman, on January 3, 1963. Together, they raised six sons - Jay, Jon, James, Jody, Jean, and Jack - and remained devoted to one another until Jerry's passing on July 20, 2000, in Mesa, Arizona.
Jackie is survived by her six sons, eleven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. She was deeply proud of her family and played a vital role in raising several of her grandchildren. After Jerry's passing, Jackie spent the rest of her life living near or with her children.
She was a dedicated mother, a loving grandmother, and a loyal friend. Known for her steady strength and quick sense of humor, Jackie often joked that none of her sons were born with a preservation gene - and still managed to raise them all with patience, love, and resolve. Her home was always a warm and welcoming place. There was always an extra kid at the dinner table or one spending the night - and Jackie treated them like her own. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, devotion, and resilience.
Jackie will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her memory to a charity of your choice.
