Eulogy

Chelsea was born in Chicago, Illinois’ Northwestern Memorial Hospital on September 25,1993. She was the second of two twin daughters, Candice and herself, born to David and Susan Dawkins. Chelsea and her family lived in Chicago’s “gold-coast” until she was five years old. They then moved to the south side’s Hyde Park neighborhood.

While growing up, Chelsea was always interested in sports and was involved in a local soccer league until she was 13 years old. When Chelsea entered junior high, she gave up soccer and began cheerleading, which she was involved throughout high school. She attended Whitney Young High School where she was an active member in the choral program and an honor student. Chelsea was expected to graduate high school in June of 2011 and planned to attend college after that.

Unfortunatly, death came early to Chelsea, but her memory will continue on in the people she met and in the lives she changed.
