In Loving Memory of Maria Chapman

At approximately 5pm on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 21st, Maria Sue Chapman, 5 years old and the youngest daughter to Steven and Mary Beth Chapman, was struck in the driveway of the Chapman home in Franklin, TN. Maria was rushed to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital in Nashville, transported by LifeFlight, but died of her injuries there. Maria is one of the close knit family’s six children and one of their three adopted daughters.

The Chapman family is grateful for the incredible outpouring of love and support at this difficult time.

Meet Maria and express your condolences. If you wish, you may also send condolences by mail to:

PO Box 150156

In lieu of flowers, the Chapmans request any gifts be directed to Shaohannah’s Hope.

More than five years ago Chapman and his wife MaryBeth founded The Shaohannah’s Hope Ministry after bringing their first adopted daughter, Shaohannah, home from China. The ministry’s goal is to help families reduce the financial barrier of adoption, and has provided grants to over 1,700 families wishing to adopt orphans from around the world.

Please keep the entire Chapman family in prayer during this difficult time. We too will be praying and asking God to extend His healing hand to the Chapman family. May He keep them in the peace that passes all understanding, and restore them in His mercy.
