Obituary for Ione Lorraine Chapin
Ione Chapin was the daughter of Wilbur and Rose Chapin. She was born in Watertown, South Dakota, and moved to California during World War II to work in a tire factory. After working in San Francisco for a decade, she resided in Fairfield for over 50 years. She was bright and witty, had a very creative mind and always had the best stories to share with her nieces and nephews. She was a strong and steady influence to many in her tight-knit family. She was the last of six children to survive, and was pre-deceased by the following siblings in order of their deaths: Bernice Davis, Merton Chapin, Darlene Gonsalves, Betty McPherson, and Helen Laforet. She will be sorely missed by many nieces and nephews.
