Mya D. Chupp

She was born August 29, 2006 in South Bend.

Mya is survived by her parents, Craig and Maria (Nice) Chupp, two siblings, Kaylena and Cody Chupp; grandparents, Carl and Loretta Chupp and LeRoy and Marilyn Nice and great-grandparents, Lester and Gloria Eigsti.

A fifth grader at Prairie View Elementary, Mya was nonverbal with many health issues.  In spite of all that, people were drawn to her.  She was a happy girl with a huge, glowing smile and sparkly eyes.  Her smile was her super power.  She had no interest in toys or electronics but enjoyed watching the people around her and being “out and about”.  Mya loved Sunday school, listening to stories, physical therapy, school and snuggling on the couch.  She was a very special girl who left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

Mya’s family will receive friends Friday, April 20, 2018 from 3 to 5 and 6 to 8 p.m. at Maple City Chapel where a Celebration of her life will begin Saturday, April 21, 2018, at 10:30 a.m.  Pastor Gary Miller will officiate.

Cremation will follow the service.

Memorials may be given to Make a Wish Foundation.
