Brooklet – Mary Ellen Chapman, 59, passed away on Saturday at her home.

Mary was born and raised in Savannah, GA.  She attended grade school at the historic Massey School in down town Savannah.  She was a devoted daughter, loyal wife, and loving mother and grandmother who was affectionately referred to as "me-maw".  She never met a stranger.  Her friends were like family.
