Chantelle J. Morris - June 23, 1970 - May 02, 2020

Departed: 05/02/2020 (Englewood)

Obituary Preview: Chantelle Jyansea Morris was born to Norma Morris and Leo Garcia on June 23, 1970 in Denver, CO. She was the eldest of six children born to her mother-Emmett, Pancea, Keith, Natasha, and Jeffery. She also was the eldest of nine children on her father’s side- Isaiah, Elijah, Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Israel, Melissa, Victoria Anaya, and Grace. Chantelle gave birth to her first child, Pierre, in 1986. She would later birth Shaquille, Jyansea, Pharoah, and Inda. From her children, Chantelle was given six grandchildren- Fabian, Onesty, Loyaltie, Antaun, Alei’Jyana, and Alauhni; all of whom she absolutely adored. Channy always joked that she was too fly to be a grandma and she was their auntie. Chantelle attended John F. Kennedy High School. She later attained her GED with the help of her son, Pierre, who taught her how to do fractions. She also gained her certification as a Nursing Assistant and a cosmetologist. Natasha remembers helping Channy study for the nursing exam and being her sister’s mannequin when Chantelle was practicing different hairstyles and makeup. Chantelle was always known to be very creative whether it was demonstrated via her sense of style, through decorating or her animated personality. Chantelle passed away on the morning of May 2, 2020. She will be greatly missed for her loving heart, her resilient strength, and her sassy attitude. Her death will be mourned but her life will be celebrated through those who loved and knew her. She raised and nurtured so many people. Her light touched so many lives. Chantelle is survived by her husband, Deryl Oliver, her children, her grandchildren, and other family and friends.

Mya Phawntoinette Barbour - Berry - July 05, 1998 - January 26, 2020

Departed: 01/26/2020 (Englewood)

Obituary Preview: If tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,

And each time that you think of me, I know that you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,

And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye,

For all my life I’d always thought I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for, so much left to do,

It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,

I thought of all we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,

I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. So, when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,

For every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an obituary?

An obituary is a written notice that announces the death of a person, typically including their name, age, date of birth and death, and a brief biography. It is usually published in a newspaper, online obituary platform, or funeral home website to inform friends, family, and community members of the person's passing.

Why are obituaries important?

Obituaries serve as a way to honor and remember the deceased, while also providing important information to those who knew them. They allow friends and family to pay their respects, share condolences, and celebrate the person's life.

What is included in an obituary?

A typical obituary includes the person's name, age, date of birth and death, place of residence, occupation, education, achievements, hobbies, and surviving family members. It may also include information about the funeral or memorial service, charity donations, and other relevant details.

Who writes an obituary?

The obituary is usually written by a family member or close friend of the deceased, with the assistance of a funeral home or obituary writer. In some cases, the deceased may have written their own obituary before passing away.

How long does it take to write an obituary?

The time it takes to write an obituary can vary depending on the complexity and length of the notice. On average, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours to gather information and craft a well-written obituary.

Can I write my own obituary?

Yes, you can write your own obituary. This is often referred to as a "self-written" or "advance" obituary. Writing your own obituary can be a therapeutic way to reflect on your life and ensure that your story is told in your own words.

What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?

A death notice is a brief announcement of someone's passing, usually including only basic information such as name, age, and date of death. An obituary, on the other hand, provides more detailed information about the person's life and legacy.

How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper?

To submit an obituary to a newspaper, contact the publication's obituary department directly or work with a funeral home that can assist with the process. Be prepared to provide necessary information and payment for the notice.

Can I publish an obituary online?

Yes, many online platforms and funeral home websites allow you to publish an obituary online. This can be a convenient way to share news of a loved one's passing with a wider audience.

How much does it cost to publish an obituary?

The cost of publishing an obituary varies depending on the newspaper or online platform. Expect to pay anywhere from $50 to several hundred dollars for a printed notice, with online publications often offering more affordable options.

Can I include photos in an obituary?

Yes, many newspapers and online platforms allow you to include one or more photos with the obituary. This can be a meaningful way to personalize the notice and celebrate the person's life.

What is the purpose of an obituary photo?

Can I include quotes or poems in an obituary?

Yes, you can include quotes or poems in an obituary to add personal touches and context. These can be meaningful ways to capture the person's spirit or philosophy.

How do I handle errors or corrections in an obituary?

If you notice errors or inaccuracies in an obituary, contact the newspaper or online platform immediately. They will work with you to correct the mistake and republish the revised notice.

Can I update an existing obituary?

In some cases, yes. If new information becomes available or there are changes to funeral arrangements, you may be able to update an existing obituary. Contact the publication or online platform for guidance on their policies.

How long does an online obituary remain available?

The duration for which an online obituary remains available varies depending on the platform. Some websites may keep notices active for months or years, while others may remove them after a shorter period.

Can I create a memorial website for my loved one?

Yes, there are many online platforms that allow you to create a memorial website for your loved one. These sites often offer features such as guestbooks, photo galleries, and tribute pages.

What is the difference between a memorial service and a funeral service?

A memorial service is typically held without the presence of the deceased's body, often at a later date than the funeral. A funeral service usually takes place shortly after death and involves burial or cremation of the body.

Can I plan my own funeral or memorial service?

Yes, many people choose to plan their own funeral or memorial service in advance. This can help alleviate burden on loved ones and ensure that your wishes are respected.

How do I cope with grief after losing a loved one?

How do I find comfort in memories of my loved one?

Finding comfort in memories of your loved one can involve activities such as sharing stories with others, creating memory books or scrapbooks, visiting special places that hold meaning, or engaging in hobbies or activities they enjoyed.

Can I still celebrate my loved one's birthday after they're gone?

Absolutely! Celebrating your loved one's birthday can be a meaningful way to honor their memory and continue feeling connected to them. You might consider lighting candles, visiting their grave site, or engaging in activities they enjoyed on their special day.

How do I know when it's time to say goodbye?

Saying goodbye is never easy. Trust your instincts and take cues from medical professionals if your loved one is terminally ill. When it's time to let go, focus on cherishing memories and celebrating their life rather than dwelling on their passing.
