Adeline Jane (Calisi) Chapman, 90, of New Albany, Indiana, passed away on Saturday, November 21, 2020. Addie was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary at VFW Post 1693 in New Albany. She was an avid gardener who had a love for all flowers, which reflected in her work in the garden center at K-Mart where she worked for many years until her retirement. Addie loved to spend time with her family and sharing her gift of cooking with them. In her later years, she dearly enjoyed her fellowship with the residents at Autumn Woods Health Campus, where she loved playing bingo and could usually be found working on her favorite puzzles.

She was born on September 15, 1930, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to the late John and Clara (Paletta) Calisi. Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her former husbands, Donald Grauel and Robert Chapman; brother, Mickey Calisi; and sisters, Joanne Smith and Mary Roberts.
