Chelsea Victoria Anne Zhao was born on August 8 ^th , 1990, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. She found peace on August 8 ^th , 2022, in Roswell, New Mexico.

Chelsea grew up in Niagara Falls before moving to Spring, Texas as a teenager where she attended school and made so many friendships, as well as becoming an American citizen.

As an adult Chelsea had moved to Roswell, New Mexico and lived as a registered nurse with her husband Lonnie.

Chelsea's greatest legacy was the birth of her amazing daughters; Angela on October 24 ^th , 2009, with Jonathan Grubbs and Evelyn on January 7 ^th , 2016, with Zibin Zhao.

Chelsea had a huge love for animals, and was always surrounded by her many rescue cats, dogs, and exotics.

Chelsea always stood out as having a truly indomitable spirit. As a first-generation immigrant she succeeded in forming lifelong friendships and leaving a lasting impression wherever she went. She graduated as an honors student, put herself through college and nursing school, and was always up for whatever big adventure came next in life. She had accomplished so much at just 32.

We all miss you dearly. Your humor, your laugh, your wild stories, and how you livened up every room you entered.

She lives on through her daughters as well as in the memories of countless friends and family that span the continent. While we grieve the unimaginable loss the only reprieve is knowing she's no longer in any pain.
