Obituary

Utica – Carol A. Chapman, 71, of Utica, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2018, at Faxton-St. Luke’s Healthcare, with her partner Ron and niece Joann by her side.

She was predeceased by three brothers, David, Bobby and Leslie, and a sister, Joan.

The family would like to offer their thanks to staffs at The Pines, St. Luke’s Home, and Faxton-St. Luke’s ICU, remembering especially Nurse Melissa Gotte, for the kind and compassionate care given to Carol.

In accordance with Carol’s wishes there are no calling hours or services. Arrangements are under the direction of Friedel, Williams & Edmunds Funeral and Cremation Services, Utica.
