Margaret Louise Chapman

Margaret “Margie” Louise Chapman was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, grammy and friend. She peacefully passed away March 5, 2021 at the age of 80. Margie was born in Marquette, Michigan on April 18, 1940. The Upper Peninsula always held a special place in her heart. She had many fond memories of spending time there with her family. After graduating from high school Margie met and married James Chapman on March 4, 1961. Together Jim and Margie raised three daughters. Margie spent many hours at the kitchen table sharing her love of arts and crafts with her daughters and their friends. She was a gifted seamstress and applied her artistic talent to everything from embroidery to paper toile. Throughout her life knitting was her evening pastime. Margie had a green thumb and every plant flourished under her tender care. During the warm months it was her joy to be out in her gardens observing nature. Margie loved music and singing, if you visited her home the radio was always on. If you were lucky you might have seen some spontaneous kitchen dancing. She had an immense love for people and wore a smile wherever she went that put everyone at ease. Her memory will be cherished by Jim, husband of 60 years, her daughters Rachel Brace Stille, Rebecca Lewis, and Rochelle McManus (Robert). Her brother Gerald Stille, sisters Sharon Jack and Elizabeth Callaway (Frank Blumenthal). Her grandchildren Alyssa, Drew, Natalie, James, Bobby (Naomi) and Shannon (Zach). Her six great grandchildren, Brooke, Collin, Landon, Bobby, Maggie and Evangeline. So many other relatives and friends so dear to Margie. She was preceded in death by her parents, her loving sister Jackie (Jocelyn Harwood) and her little brother Bubby (Larry Roberts). Arrangements entrusted to Kaul Funeral Home St Clair Chapel. A funeral service will be held June 7, 2021 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.
