Vicky C. Chapman

Vicky C. Chapman, age 77 of Faribault, MN passed away Thursday, May 8, 2025 at Faribault Senior Living following an extended illness.

Vicky Christine, the daughter of Lewis and Evelyn (Nilsen) Rollin was born on April 4, 1948 in St. Paul, MN. She attended Johnson High School and graduated with the class of 1966. Following high school, Vicky attended Anoka Ramsey Junior College. On July 3, 1971 she was united in marriage to Charles Chapman at her parents home in St. Paul, MN. Vicky began her career as a crew dispatcher at Upper River Services and then was a dispatcher at Twin City Barge and Towing, retiring in 2011. She was known as the Head Barge at work. Vicky was a jokester and could be very stubborn at times. She was a provider to everyone and was Mom to many of her children’s friends. She helped all of them with whatever they would need. When her children were young she would bring them to work and take them out on the tug boats which was a huge hit. She enjoyed having lunch with her friends from high school, playing solitary and a good game of mahjong. Her grandchildren were her joy along with her pets.

She is survived by her daughters, Carla Chapman and Samantha Chapman, both of Faribault, MN; by four grandchildren, Courtney (Nate) Molitor, Alida Springer, Kayanna Chapman and Jameson Mills; by her great grandson, Lukas Molitor and other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her step dad, George Ahrens, her husband, Charles Chapman, by her brother, Gary (Pattie Jo) Rollin and by several brother-in-laws.

Memorial services will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at the Parker Kohl Funeral Home & Crematory of Faribault with the Rev. Mark Johnson officiating. Interment will be held at Meadow Ridge Memorial Park, Faribault.
