Mary Ann Chapman
/Mary Ann Chapman, 80, passed away peacefully at her home in Linton, surrounded by the family she loved. Faith, family, and time spent together were at the heart of her life.
Born in Terre Haute on January 16, 1946, Mary Ann was the daughter of Russell and Anna (Dean) Henderson. She graduated from Gerstmeyer High School and went on to beauty college, beginning her working life as a beautician. She later found a lasting career in banking, working at Peoples Trust Company in Linton, 5/3rd Bank in Sullivan, and then at First Financial Bank in Worthington.
Mary Ann was a faithful member of Linton Church of Christ, where she found fellowship and friendship among the ladies of the congregation. Those friendships, along with the close bonds she shared with her sisters and family, were an important part of her life.
Above all, Mary Ann cherished her family. She and her husband, Roy, shared 53 years of marriage, and her family grew to include children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Whether spending time with her sisters, enjoying the company of her church friends, or being with those she held closest, Mary Ann valued the simple gift of being together.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Roy L. Chapman; her daughter, Michelle Chapman; her son, Duane Chapman; her stepchildren, Kimberlie Hewitt (Curt) and Brian Chapman (Michele); and her seven grandchildren, Bret Chapman, Angela Ausman (fiance, Joey Helton), Krystal Ausman (Jeff Arthur), Blake McKinley, David Chapman, Nicole Mitchell (Joe), and Brittaney Elshouki (Karim). She also leaves her great-grandchildren, Ali, Marcie, Sebastian, Lilah, Harper, Portia, Kai, Shadi, Noah, Gabriel, and Ibrihhim; her siblings, Ellen Davis, Donna Reece, Jimmy Henderson (Cecile), and Carrol Harris; brother-in-law, Dwight Boyll; sisters-in-law, Sandy Van Horn, Patty Walters, and Donna Kress; and several nieces, nephews, and loved ones.
Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents; her son-in-law, Dennis Ausman; and her siblings, Sharon Stringer (Walt), Dennis Henderson, Steven Henderson, and Linda Boyll.
Her life will be remembered through the family she cherished, the friendships she treasured, and the faith that held a meaningful place in her heart.
