Patsey Ann Chapman, 88, of Rising Sun, Indiana, passed away March 24, 2026 at

the Waters of Dillsboro. Patsey was born on November 23, 1937, a daughter of

Coy Lee Shaver and Emma Maryanna (Grace) Shaver. She attended school in Ohio

County and later became employed at the Ohio County Courthouse, working in the

treasurer’s office. On November 15, 1958, Patsey was married to Lloyd ‘Tommy”

Chapman. The couple shared over 60 years together in marriage until Tommy’s

passing on September 29, 2019. Patsey attended the Rising Sun Church of Christ

where she enjoyed the fellowship and singing with other members of the

congregation. Patsey had a knack for being able to fix anything. Her creativity was

especially expressed when she was working on restoring antique furniture or

completing an impressive sewing project. Going for walks was also a favorite

pastime of hers. Above all, at the center of Patsey’s heart was her faith and her

family, who she considered her biggest blessings.
