In Loving Memory of Chloe Bonaparte Stinchfield
January 24, 2025 – October 13, 2025
It is with deepest sorrow that we share that our sweet daughter, Chloe Stinchfield, passed away in our arms on October 13, 2025, at just 8 months old, due to complications from a rare genetic condition called Gaucher Disease.
Though her time with us was short, Chloe brought immeasurable joy to our lives. With a quiet, curious spirit and a sweetness all her own, she lit up at the sound of her crinkle books and gave us the biggest smiles as she banged her silicone spoons, bobbed her little head, and blew bubbles with delight. Nothing brought her more comfort than her soft pink blanket – a constant presence in her world, and now a cherished piece of ours. Despite the challenges she faced, Chloe met each day with gentle strength, grace, and a quiet joy that touched everyone around her.
Chloe was deeply loved and will be forever missed by her parents, Phoebe and Zachary Stinchfield; her older sister, Lily Stinchfield; her grandparents, Mark and Teresa Stinchfield; her grandmother, Anne Bonaparte-Krogh; her aunts and uncles: Mary and Jeremy Wahlman-Krogh, Katherine and Zane Merva; and cousin, John Joseph Merva. Chloe was welcomed into heaven by her grandfather, Paul Bonaparte-Krogh, and is playing with her cousin, Amelia Merva who both passed away before her.
A memorial service to celebrate Chloe’s life will be held at 11:00am, Friday, November 21, 2025, at Spruce Mountain Ranch 14771 South Spruce Mountain Road, Larkspur, Colorado 80118. Reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the National Gaucher Foundation (www.gaucherdisease.org).
Chloe’s time with us may have been brief, but her impact is everlasting. She was our Little Pickle, our light, and she will always be in our hearts.
