Jill Marie (Meyer) Chatman, 54, of St. Louis, Missouri, passed away peacefully at her home on November 11, 2026. She was born on November 30, 1971, in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.
Jill is survived by her loving husband of 25 years, Joe Chatman; her son, Jackson Chatman; her daughters, Taylor (Brendan) Giljum and Jaynie Chatman; her beloved grandsons, Otto and Declan; and a granddaughter, Annie Marie, expected soon. She is also survived by her mother, Pauline Meyer; her brothers, Tim (Kate) Meyer, Doug (Brenda) Meyer, Pat (Michelle) Meyer, and Joe (Amy) Meyer; her sister, Beth (Mark) Beyatte; her sweet cousin, Carrie (Jerry) Staab; and many other cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Jerry Meyer.
Jill dedicated her career to helping young children through her work as a speech pathologist in home health and school settings, touching countless lives along the way. While raising her children, she was grateful for the opportunity to step back from her career and become a stay-at-home mom. She took great pride in ensuring her family always had a good meal on the table and in supporting her kids through their many practices, games, and activities.
Jill loved the simple things in life. She was known for her cooking and baking, her love of interior design, and her walks with her dogs, Wynnie and the late Lupé. She had a special gift for making any house feel welcoming and immaculate. Jill loved visits from her grandsons, Otto and Declan, her “little rascals.” Most of all, Jill was devoted to her family and steadfast in her Catholic faith.
SERVICES: The Memorial Visitation will be held at St. Raphael the Archangel Church in St. Louis Hills from 8:30-10:00am on Saturday, November 14, followed by a Memorial Mass from 10:00-11:00am.
