In Loving Memory of Katherine Naylor Chappell

Katherine “Kathe” Naylor Chappell, 74, of San Tan Valley, Arizona, passed away peacefully at home on April 29, 2025, surrounded by her five devoted children.

Born in Mesa, Arizona, to Ralph Veldon and Reva May (McBride) Naylor, Kathe was known for her deep love of family, her strong faith, and her generous spirit. On February 5, 1972, she married her sweetheart, Clinton Lee Chappell. One year later, they were sealed in the Mesa, Arizona, Temple, beginning a lifelong journey rooted in love and devotion. Clint preceded her in death by twelve years, and Kathe often spoke of the joyful reunion they now share.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and strength through her children and their spouses: Misty and Eric Selvidge, Timothy and Amy Chappell, Michael and Emily Chappell, Christopher and Jenny Chappell, and Tiffany and John Harman. She was a proud grandmother to nineteen grandchildren and a great-grandmother to one great-grandson. Kathe is also survived by her beloved siblings, Pauline, Barbara, and Doug.

Kathe’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
