Chantè Siegfried passed away peacefully at her home on April 14, 2026. Chante Ripley was born in Lompoc, California to Garth and Carrolyn Ripley on July 23, 1962. She was the second of five children.
As a child, Chantè and her sisters sang and performed to various audiences throughout their childhood. While growing up, she enjoyed many family vacations camping and exploring Escelante, Blacks Fork and Yellowstone.
She was a member of the Granger High School drill team. She loved being part of a team and performing with them. She made many great friendships that she cherished throughout her life.
Chantè was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints her entire life. She served in many callings in her life, but particularly enjoyed serving with the Young Women.
Chantè married Ned Palmer Siegfried in the Salt Lake Temple on October 3, 1985. They had 5 children together; Ali, Meggie, Emily, Chloè and Cole. As a family they enjoyed traveling, going to their cabin, Sunday dinners and game nights.
Chantè always took pride in her children. She was their biggest supporter and cheerleader. She believed in them and loved them more than anything in the world. Chantè spent countless hours at dance recitals, drill performances, basketball games and many other activities. There was no where else she would rather have been. Her children were her life. They brought her so much joy and purpose.
Chantè loved her husband, Ned, immensely. He treated her like a queen and always made sure she could enjoy the things in life that she loved. They met at Smith’s Food King when Chantè was just a 15 year old checker. Ned had just returned from his mission to Japan and was stocking shelves as part of the night crew. When Chantè first met him she said, “Oh, you’re Ned the “Night stalker.” He was smitten with her the moment he met her. Their devotion and love for each other over the years was undeniable.
Chantè loved to travel. Some of her favorite trips included Florence, Paris, London and anywhere with amazing shopping and yummy food. She also loved visiting the beautiful mountains in Jackson Hole and enjoyed many family trips there.
Chantè loved her garden, in particular her Hydrangeas and Peonies. She found so much joy in being out in the sun, down in the dirt and showing anyone and everyone how beautiful her flowers were. She also loved singing to them and believed that her singing helped them become more beautiful.
Chantè was always ready to have fun and laugh. She was the life of any party! She loved spending time with her family watching movies, playing games, and doing puzzles.
Chantè was always blessed because she was always generous. She had such a compassionate heart and found so much joy in helping people.
Chantè also loved and adored her grandchildren. Although she never wanted to admit she was old enough to be a grandma and didn’t want anyone to call her Grandma Siegfried. She loved spoiling her grandkids. They brought immense happiness to her life. Chantè always had to be the first person to hold the babies at family gatherings. It earned her the family nickname “Baby Hog.”
Chantè is survived by her husband Ned; her 5 children: Ali Hyde (Andrew), Meggie Suazo (Dom), Emily Crockett (Wade), Chloè Siegfried (Ashlon) and Cole Siegfried (Tneal) and her grandchildren: Jackson, Ila, Everly, Austin and Wellington. She is also survived by her father Garth Ripley; her siblings Sundee Ripley-Ware, Julee Iorg (Eddie), Rip Ripley (Hillary) and Matt Ripley (Stacie).
Chantè was the heart of her family. She will be greatly missed.
There will be a private family burial service at Larkin Sunset Gardens in Sandy, UT on Tuesday, April 28th followed by a public “Celebration of Chanté” open house from 4:00-7:00PM at Twenty and Creek event venue located at 2050 E. Creek Road Sandy, UT 84093.
I haven’t stopped thinking about your family. You are all in my prayers. One thing, amongst many, that is apparent is how much LOVE surrounds Chante and the memories you’ve created as a family. This too shall pass and the grief will subside, but then return; Nothing can replace her or take away the hurt for any of you. I pray that as time passes and offers healing, the love will remain steady and your strength as a family will continue to shine through. Rest in peace Chante. I too have a few fun memories of her I will cherish. Here to support all of you in anyway that I can.
Love, Gigi 💟
My condolences to Siegfried Family for the loss of Chante ! My thoughts and prayers are with you all !!
I’m so heartbroken to see this. I was on drill team with Chante at Granger High and just absolutely loved her. She was always so gracious, vibrant and graceful. Such a cute girl with an even cuter personality. Many hugs and prayers to her family.
I am so sorry for your loss!
Growing up I have some fun memories of Chante at the Ripley home in Granger. God bless, during this difficult time.
Oh how your momma loves you kids! You were always her pride and joy.
I have so much love and respect for Chante. She was a generous angel who always did whatever she could to help others. She was incredibly talented and I still cherish a necklace and earrings she made me. I LOVED being in YW with her. Who else could you count on to have a Tab in her hot little hands?
Heaven is a whole bunch brighter now that she’s up there! Love you all so, so much!
Chante’ was the best sister in law a girl could ask for. Even through all her trials she was always so sweet to me and was the best mom and wife she could be. We had a lot of great times and will always remember her in my heart. Love her and the family so much. ❤️❤️❤️
I only met your mom a couple of times at dance comps- of course. I set beside her at one and she was so charming and fun to talk to. We chatted about travel and her favorite places. She talked to me about her family and how much she loved them. It was so nice to get to know her.
I was will be forever grateful to her for raising Ali- her amazing daughter. She is someone I am proud to call my friend. More than that, Ali treats my daughter as her own, the mom she wishes she had. June comes to her even now for advice and encouragement. I am sure Ali learned this from her mom. We both love you so so much! ❤️
Where to begin… Chante was a second mom to me growing up. She always made me feel welcome to be hanging out at their home 24/7. She always made me feel loved!
I have so many memories of going to the mall with Chante and all the kids. We would eat at the Nordstrom cafe, and then shop for hours. It was never a quick trip to the mall, but it always was a lot of fun.
A really distinct memory was we were in Montana for Spring Break, and it was our last night there. Late at night Chante insisted we all go do a polar bear plunge in the cold lake. It was a riot. All the kids followed her out and had a blast!
Another really distinct memory was when my family was going through a hard time, one time I came over Chante hugged and held me in their laundry room as I sobbed. And she assured me everything was going to be ok. It was exactly what I needed.
As I got older, and I would come help out with the younger kids during summer. Before I would leave for the day, I would love to go sit in bed with Chante and tell her about how everything in life was going.
After I had Hudson, Chante came over to come meet him. And she was so adorable holding him. I’ll cherish that memory.
I’m so grateful to have had Chante, and the whole Siegfried family in my life growing up. You impacted my life more than you know.
Sending love to the whole family!
So so sorry for you and your beautiful family's loss love you Rip ♥
My heart is broken for your family. Chante’ was one of the kindest and most supportive woman I had the pleasure to know. She fiercely advocated for her children and loved them with her entire soul. Chante’ will be deeply missed. There is a void in our universe. My heart and love is with each of you; especially Emily, Chloe, and Cole. Hold tight to your memories. Your mom will always be with you. Much Love ‘Mrs.Peters’ Oakdale Elementary Principal
Ned and family….so very sorry to hear of Chantes passing, sending love!
With all my heart (Andrea) joined with that of my two daughters, Ayara and Anam, we send you our condolences. I know how difficult it is to express such profound pain and sorrow in a situation like this; sometimes words fall short, for no words can truly mend a heartache of this magnitude. But a sentiment filled with love certainly can.
I hope my words may help fill you with strength.
May God grant you and your two daughters the fortitude and courage to carry on. We send you a warm embrace.
Blessings!!!🫶🏻
May your Mom rest in peace.🙏🏻🤍
Ned and family, we are so sorry to hear of your loss but please know we are praying for your family. Sending love and strength to you all.
Sincerely,
Kirk and Christy Umphrey
Chloe,
I'm not sure if you remember me, but I was your Kindergarten teacher at Oakdale Elementary. I was so sad to see that your mom had passed away. She was such a sweet mama. I have been thinking of you and your family with lots of love . . .
I am so sorry. Losing a parent is hard. After awhile it’s easier to smile and remember all the good times. I hope that time comes to all your family soon. I love you Emily my prayers are sent for you and your sweet family.
