Chelsea was a kind soul with a smile and a hug for everyone. She loved her family and she loved books and writing. The world is a little darker without her amazing light. Her favorite book "The Wise Man's Fear" by Patrick Rothfuss says, "Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect."

Her family will greet relatives and friends Saturday from 9 AM until time of services at church.
