Chelsea Nichole Qualls

Chelsea Nichole was born on June 3rd, 1992. She started out as Daddy’s little peanut and grew into his Chelsea Bear. In her younger years you would find her curled up with any member of her family that she could con into reading to her, as long as they did not skip a page because she would know and make you re-read the whole book! Her love of reading led her to be a very smart young lady. As smart as she was, she was equally sassy. She had no problem commanding the room or being dramatic in her tween years. That dramatic style took her to the theater in her teens. She loved the time she spent at Tascosa and Tulia High schools on the stage. Chelsea was a major klutz, if she was not running into the only tree in the back yard, she was falling off the stage, or tripping over air. Chelsea’s twenties brought her the gift of motherhood. Her 1st angel baby, Alexis Brialle, came to her in 2012. Trinity Jade, lit up all our lives in 2013 especially Chelsea’s. Aaliyah Tegan, joined her sister as an angel baby in 2020. Olivia Yatzil (Liv), was Chelsea’s final gift to us and the world in 2021. Trin and Liv are little Chelsea Mini-Mes with matching curly, curly, curly hair, bright eyes, big smiles, and huge hearts. The 3 of them took on the world. With the love and support of a MASSIVE family and an exceptional group of friends Trin and Liv will continue to take on the world with their mother’s deepest love in their hearts. As much love as Chelsea had for her girls, she still managed to have an abundance of love for her family and friends. Whether it was an offer to help, an encouraging word on Facebook, a joke, or an I LOVE YOU text Chelsea never stopped giving. She was known by many nicknames such as Peanut, Chels, Sissie, Saucy, Chelsea Bear, and loved giving nicknames. She had a nickname for everyone she ever knew, most of them showcasing her unusual and often morbid sense of humor. Chelsea could make anyone laugh and never wanted to stop laughing. She never outgrew her love of Care Bears, horror movies, Hello Kitty, reading, Pokémon, music, Disney Princess (well mainly the evil queens), Halloween and so many little things would get her excited. Memories of Chelsea are filled with silly faces, laughter, and love. She will be forever loved and missed. Her journey on the earth ended too soon on October 19, 2025, when she lost her battle with diabetes. We know Chelsea has found her way back to Alexis and Aaliyah as they watch over Trin and Liv. We love seeing all the pictures!! We are comforted by how much love Chelsea gave out into the world and got back from all of you. Chelsea’s Amarillo Family will be having a private family service to remember Chelsea. Chelsea’s Brother Nick will have a Celebration of Life for her in Iowa on Nov 2nd from 1PM-5PM. Fraternal Order of Eagles 118 S 5th St. Missouri Valley IA 51555. The event is listed on her Facebook. The rest of her Iowa family will also be having a service for her. Please contact them for details. We encourage you to continue to celebrate Chelsea on Facebook with your pictures, videos, and stories. Thank you all for sharing your memories and pictures of Chelsea, they are a great comfort to us all. Pamela will be making a memorial book for the Trin & Liv which will include all you have posted. For those of you that requested a way to support Chelsea's sweet girls (Trin & Liv) a GoFundMe has been set up. https://gofund.me/81d237e8a Chelsea was never big on flowers, she thought they were a waste of money so, please consider supporting the girls in lieu of flowers. It would make her so happy to know that all the people that love and miss her are making sure that her girls are taken care of. Some other suggestions in lieu of flowers would be some of Chelsea’s favorite charities: The JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). Chelsea would say "screw you diabetes!" and would not want anyone else to face the hardships she did. Your favorite LGBTQ+ charity such as the Trevor project. Or the American Council for the Blind for her sister Annie. It was very Chelsea to think of someone else at times when she herself was in need.
