Eileen B. Chapin

Eileen Chapin, 95, wife of Ralph Chapin, passed away at home with family on September 30, 2018. She is survived by five children, Lynn, Brooks, Dan, Roy, and Jed, a son-in-law, five daughters-in-law, eleven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and sister Fran. She was preceded in death by husband Ralph, son Larry, brother Edward, and sister Patricia.

Eileen moved from Iowa to Denver in 1944, as a business college graduate, then on to Greeley in 1963. She served as a long-time volunteer in Greeley-many years with the Weld County Hospital gift shop, in addition to Meals on Wheels, UCCC, and RSVP. She was a member of Red Hats and of Syncopation Station tap dance.

Eileen experienced great joy in traveling, exploring, and seeking new adventures.

Vietnam Veterans of America, PBS, and Alzheimer’s Association were her favorite charities. She also benefitted from Good Days Assistance Program, a non-profit charity providing assistance to patients diagnosed with chronic or life-altering disease. Over the past year, Good Days covered the expense of Eileen’s costly eye injections related to macular degeneration.

For those wishing to attend, a memorial service will be at 11:30 A.M. on Thursday, November 8, 2018 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church 2222 23rd Avenue, Greeley.
