Chantele was born Sept. 8, 1974, in Clinton, Iowa, the loving daughter of Susan Ladd. Chantele worked in customer service for 10 years at Toyota. She also worked in the Amana Colonies at Amana Refrigeration as a production specialist.
Following her grandparents' footsteps, Chantele was an avid and skilled pool player. She also was very outgoing and enjoyed driving motorcycles. Chantele always had a big heart for those in need or less fortunate. She was especially fond of all animals. Above all she loved her son, Cody, and daughter in-law Makayla very much.
We are all so blessed that during her short time on Earth she touched so many lives and will be forever missed by all those who knew her.
