She was the wife of Clyde A. Braziel for over 65 years, who called her his baby doll. Born March 1, 1927 in Valley Falls, she was the daughter of the late William "Bill" A. and Kate Parris Chapman of Boiling Springs, SC. She worked at Sears and retired as a tax preparer for the late Perry Bishop, which she enjoyed to the fullest. She was a member of Boiling Springs First Baptist Church and a former member of Gravely Memorial United Methodist Church where she enjoyed working with the youth and helping with Bible School. She enjoyed cooking with her husband, sewing, knitting, and crocheting; but most of all, she enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who called her Nona. She was always willing to help her family and friends at a moments notice. She will be greatly missed by her husband, a daughter, Rita Hutchins Stacey; a son, Garry (Shelia) Braziel; grandchildren, Kenny (Terri) Hutchins, Kim (Jimmy D) Lanier, Josh (Denise) Braziel, and Shelley Braziel; great-grandchildren, Brittany and Justin Hutchins, Shane and Kayla Lanier, Haley and Abbey Braziel; and her sisters, Julia Chapman, Gayle (John) Lee, and Peggy Haney.
