Laurel G Chapman passed away at the age of 67 at Sheridan Memorial Hospital on 11/19/2021.

Laurel was brought into this world by Aloris and Alex Lanners on 07/29/1954 in a small town in Wyoming called Thermopolis. She was the youngest child of four siblings. Laurel spent all her childhood around a very loving family. In 1973 she started her own family with Christie Aloris Wales. A beautiful baby girl. In 1976 she had her second child, a boy by the name of Robert Alex Wales and finally in 1985 she was blessed with the final member of her 3 loving children ending with Karen Marie Wales. From birth to death, she was always surrounded by loved ones, be it our giant family, or all the friends she made through almost every interaction she took.

She gave her heart freely to anyone with need. Laurel lived a lot of her life traveling throughout the United States. Laurel and her husband Chuck tried to see every state in the union, but always came back to her true home in Sheridan Wyoming. For most of her life she was in the restaurant business from waitress, cook, or owner. She was always wanting to be part of the community and made peoples day a little brighter with good food, a hug or some needed conversation amongst a friend. Her love and insights will be missed forever…
