Christal attended St. James Public Schools. She worked at The Enterprise in New Ulm and The Heartland Industries in Dawson. She enjoyed not only working, but the social interactions she had at her various work sites. Christal was a devoted Elvis fan and enjoyed his movies and music. She also enjoyed polka music, her cat, and community events. She had a great sense of humor and made many friends while living in New Ulm and Dawson.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Orin "Shorty" and Helen Chapman, her grandparents, her dear friend and babysitter, Dorothy Knudson, and her pets, Archie, Herman, Angel, and Itchy-bones. She is survived by her Aunt Bernice Udorvich of Spencer Iowa, cousins David Udorvich, Debbie Udorvich, Jason Chapman of Minneapolis, Sue Piper of St. James, special childhood friends, Judy Van Ta, Shirley Knudson, and Roger Knudson all of St. James, and her faithful social worker Lori Kuehl of St. James
