Mary Ann Chapman, 58, of Gainesville, TX, passed away peacefully on October 13, 2025.

Born the youngest of four children, Mary was known for her kind heart, quick wit, and unwavering love for her family.

Even through health challenges, Mary faced life with strength, humor, and a sparkle in her eye that brought joy to everyone around her.

Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Michael Chapman; her father, James Dean Lane, her mother, Mary Elizabeth Lane; her two brothers, Billy McAllister and Jay McAllister, and her nephew, James Janota.

She is survived by her sons, William & Nicholas Chapman; her grandchildren, Evelyn and Rowan; her sister, Maggie Campbell; her daughter-in-law, Angela (Billy); and her best friend, Ashley Pumphrey, along with many loving friends who will cherish her memory.
