Olly Belle

Tay-Sachs Warrior

Olly Belle Chapman was born on April 22, 2018 and passed peacefully in her home on March 26th, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. She enjoyed music, giggling, playing with her sister, and watching the trees blow in the wind. Despite her youth, Olly Belle possessed perhaps the sassiest eye roll on the planet and had a gentle smirk full of more personality than someone ten times her age. 


Though the time she spent on this earth was brief, the light and warmth she provided will shine through all who met her for as long as they live. We thank God for his perfect peace, timing, grace, comfort, wisdom, and also for sharing his daughter Olly Belle (child of God, princess of peace, and Tay-Sachs Warrior) with us. 

Olly was survived by her incredibly devoted parents Lora and Nate, her amazing sister Mara Joy, grandparents Isaac and Cheri Chapman, Paul and Lisa Eischens, great grandpa Bill Engel, great grandma Jan Isaak, aunts and uncles Trent, Mandi, Keia, Nick and Kristine and many other extended family members and friends.

A private family service will be held. Celebration of Life will take place in June. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Olly’s Go Fund Me to help with final expenses and college fund for big sister Mara Joy.
