Our beautiful girl has left us way too soon. Sadly, after a year-long battle with depression, the pain became unbearable for Chantelle. Chantelle was born in Brandon on November 2, 1977 and passed on August 15, 2023.

Left behind to mourn are her parents, David and Fran Bebbington, her sister Michelle Jacobson (Trevor deJaray), nephews Lane and Noah Jacobson, special sister Sheila Marlow; step-mother Debbie Gastonguay and step-brother Michael Gastonguay, former husband Adam Bartsch and step-daughter Shannon (Izzy). Chantelle was preceded in death by her younger sister, Chelsey Bebbington, leaving a profound absence that echoes in our hearts. She also leaves behind many special uncles, aunts and cousins.

From the day she was born, Chantelle was an animal lover. From travelling to Africa to save the rhinos, to spending a month in Mexico releasing turtles - even appearing on a reality hunting show on OLN, Chantelle lived more in her forty-five years than most do in a long lifetime. Hundreds of people were recipients of her exquisite tattoos. She loved her hunting expeditions and spending time with her koi fish in her backyard paradise she built with her own hands. We will all sorely miss her love and quirky sense of adventure.

A private memorial will be held in Campbell River, BC in the near future.
