Angela Louise Chamness
Angela Louise Chamness, 62, passed away on September 28, 2026. She was born on March 23, 1964, to Joseph and Linda Chesser.
Angela was a devout Christian whose faith quietly guided her days and shaped the way she cared for others. Known for a kind heart and a compassionate spirit, she met life with steady devotion—offering comfort, encouragement, and practical help in ways both seen and unseen.
For many years, Angela served alongside her husband as an administrative assistant at the Crisis Center, work that reflected her diligence and her deep concern for people in need. Later, she completed training to become a certified nursing assistant, furthering her calling to help others through hands-on care and attentive service. Her hard work was never for recognition, but for the simple purpose of making life a little better for someone else.
On March 4, 1986, Angela married the love of her life Dennis Chamness. Together they built a home rooted in love and faith, and she poured herself into the roles that mattered most to her—as a wife, mother, grandmother, and steadfast presence to those she cherished. Her greatest joy was her ever-growing family, and she held each one close with a love that was both strong and tender.
Angela found happiness in the everyday gifts of life: tending her garden, cooking for others, and gathering with family—moments made warmer by her thoughtful care. She also enjoyed classic rock music and motorcycles, embracing the simple pleasures that brought energy and laughter into the days she shared with those she loved.
Angela is survived by her husband Dennis Chamness; her mother Linda Chesser; her brothers Ed Chesser and John Chesser; her children Sage Chamness, Lace Carson (Chamness), Osie Chamness, Levi Chamness, and Rafe Chamness; and her grandchildren Jadalynn Chamness, Liam McQuiston, Wade McQuiston, Aaron Carson, Jordan Carson, Levi Carson, Noah Carson, and Gracie Carson. She was preceded in death by her father Joseph Chesser; her father-in-law Richard Chamness; and her mother-in-law Anna May Chamness.
Visitation will be held at Ellers Mortuary and Cremation Center, 3400 S. Webster Street, Kokomo, on October 5, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The funeral service will follow at the same location on October 5, 2026, beginning at 12:00 p.m.
Angela will be remembered as beloved and deeply cherished—a faithful woman whose life was marked by compassion, steady work, and enduring love for her family.
