Stephanie Marie Chappelle's Obituary
Stephanie Marie Chappelle, 49, of Ocala, Florida, passed away on January 25, 2026.
Born in Tampa, Florida, Stephanie was known for her warmth, strength, and compassionate heart. She carried a positive spirit that uplifted those around her and had a gentle way of bringing light and comfort wherever she went. Though her life was not without hardship, she met each challenge with grace, resilience, and courage.
Stephanie lived by her favorite Bible verse, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” and embodied those words through her humility, kindness, and selfless love for others. Her presence brought peace, her words offered comfort, and her love left a lasting mark on everyone she encountered.
She is survived by her daughters, Angel and Lauren, whom she deeply loved. Stephanie will be remembered for her beautiful spirit, her generous heart, and the love she shared so freely. She will be forever loved and deeply missed.
