Chelsea, age 21, died April 16, 2011 in Houston, Texas. She was born in Houston September 12, 1989.

Chelsea delighted in all things beautiful as evidenced by her life-long love of fashion, makeup and art. Her creativity produced collages ranging from photos of family and friends to multi-colored designs. Christmas will not be the same without her decorations.
