Madison Noelle Chappell Passes Away at Age 25

A service for Madison Noelle Chappell of Scarsdale who passed away at the age of 25, will be held at Hitchcock Church on Wednesday February 16 at 2 pm.

Here is a statement from the Reverend Pete Jones at Hitchcock Church, sent out on February 7, 2022.

“It is with unimaginable sadness and with eternal hope in the resurrection that I share the following statement from the Chappell Family:

"It is with the deepest of sorrow that we share that our beloved Madison Noelle Chappell has gone on to be with the Lord this morning. Celebration of Life details to follow."

Madi was 25 years old. Please keep her parents (Robert & Nicole) and her brothers (Robby & Noah) in your prayers tonight and in the days to come.

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” -Revelation 14:3

You are welcome to join together with us here at Hitchcock as we celebrate the life of Madi Chappell next Wednesday, February 16, at 2pm.
