Chloe E Lange

In Loving Memory of Chloe Elizabeth Lange. Our Beloved CocoMay 27, 2004 – October 29, 2026 With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we share the passing of our beloved Chloe, affectionately known to her family as Coco (Coco Puff), who left this world far too soon. Chloe was the cherished youngest daughter of Sue and Rob and the baby sister of Alexandria and Hailey. As the baby of the family, she made her presence known from the very beginning. Funny, outgoing, quick-witted, and just a little mischievous, Chloe had a way of keeping everyone on their toes. Family gatherings and outings were rarely uneventful when little Chloe was around, and it wasn't unusual for someone to find themselves carrying her away in the middle of one of her spirited protests. Those moments, once a challenge, became cherished family memories that still bring smiles and laughter. As she grew, Chloe carried that same colorful, adventurous, and fun-loving spirit with her. She was always ready for a good time, eager to try something new, and often the one encouraging others to join in. She loved to cook, explore different cuisines, and discover new flavors. 

Whether sharing a meal, spending time with friends and family, or embracing a new experience, Chloe brought her own unmistakable energy to the moment. Chloe also had a wonderfully unique sense of style. From her clothing to her tattoos and piercings, she embraced her individuality and wasn't afraid to express herself. Her bubbly personality, creative spirit, and quick wit made her truly unforgettable. As Chloe grew older, life brought challenges that were not always easy for her to overcome. She faced struggles that those who loved her could not always fully understand, but through it all, she remained deeply loved by a family who never stopped caring, hoping, and wishing for brighter days ahead. Yet Chloe's struggles were never all that she was. She was the mischievous little girl who kept everyone on their toes, the young woman who loved to laugh and have fun, the adventurous spirit willing to try something new, and the daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, and friend whose place in the lives of those who loved her can never be replaced. Chloe leaves behind her loving parents, Suzanne Madrid and Robert Lange; her sisters, Alexandria and Hailey; her nieces, Angelica and Anna; her aunts and uncles, Denise French and her husband Glenn, Marty Madrid and his wife Dana, Jim Martin and his wife Diane, Margaret Martin, and Lisa Martin, wife of the late Ross Martin; and her cousins, Jessica, Ashley, Dillon, Bailie, Darian, Sarah, Jennifer, Barbara, and Rachel. 

She also leaves behind many second cousins, extended family members, and friends who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Margaret and Martin Madrid, and Robert and Elizabeth Lange; her uncles, Ross Martin and Steve Martin; and her cousin, Melissa French, the cherished firstborn daughter of Denise and Glenn French, who was welcomed into heaven at birth.Sometimes the hardest journeys belong to the hearts we love the most. Though our hearts ache that Chloe could not find the peace she searched for during her time with us, we can only hope that she has finally found a place where there is no more pain, no more struggle, and only peace. When we remember Chloe, may we remember that funny, mischievous little Coco, full of personality and life. May we remember her laughter, her colorful spirit, her love of adventure, and the countless stories and memories she leaves behind.

Rest peacefully, sweet Coco. You were loved more than you knew, and you will be missed more than words can ever say.Forever our Chloe. Forever our Coco. Forever in our hearts.“Let us take our bloated nothingness out of the path of the divine circuits.”— Ralph Waldo Emerson───Visitation and Remembrance Service.
