Chauntel Marie Wehe

Chauntel Marie Wehe, a beloved wife, mother, Mema, daughter, sister, and friend, was reunited with her Savior on November 4, 2026.
Chauntel was born on January 17, 1969, to Glenn and Jacquelyn Kempton in Richland Washington. She was the oldest of 4 girls and took her role very seriously. She was their fearless protector, friend, and biggest cheerleader. Strengthening their sisterhood bond throughout her life was a constant focus of hers. She loved her little sisters fiercely and unapologetically. She was proud and honored to be their big sister every day.
In 1997, she married the love of her life, Arthur Wehe, her eternal companion. They were sealed for all time and eternity in the Oakland Temple. Chauntel gave him the best gift, three daughters- Sahtara, Cherece’, and Ariel. They created a beautiful life together, full of love and adventure. After many years together, they welcomed a son into their family-Blaine. He was the son she had always longed for. Chauntel selflessly gave herself to serve her family with joy and grace.
Chauntel was the best Mema in the entire world. Her grandchildren were her life. She made sure to be there for every big moment, no matter what the sacrifice. Each one of her grandchildren loved and admired her. She was so proud of them, constantly singing their praises. They knew, without a doubt, she loved them in every way. To her, they were perfect. She would often joke that her children were the most important people until the day she became a grandmother. She assured her children they’d understand one day.
Serving as a postal carrier for many years, allowed her to meet and serve many. She was loved by her customers. Chauntel was known for going the extra mile for each one because making someone’s life easier or more joyous was always so important to her. She was an incredibly hard worker and gave her all. She was known for her smile, laugh, and the ability to make those she served feel loved and seen. She considered her coworkers not just friends but family. She loved what she did but loved the people she worked with more. She made sure they knew it.
Chauntel loved her Savior, Jesus Christ. She knew him personally and testified of His goodness and mercy daily. She was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Chauntel served in the Primary and Young Women’s Organizations. She loved her church family with all her heart. There wasn’t a person that entered her home, that didn’t know her feelings toward the Savior. She was a wonderful missionary, always wanting to share Christ’s love. She wasn’t afraid of leaving this earth life because she knew she’d be reunited with her loved ones one day.
Chauntel will always be remembered for her contagious smile, beautiful face, and huge heart. Until we meet again.
Chauntel is survived by her husband, Arthur Jackson Wehe, children, Sahtara Wehe (Keala Wehe), Blaine Loar, Cherece Hall (Casey Hall), and Ariel Neuman (Travis Neuman), and her grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, her father (Glen Kempton), and son in law (Arland Baker).
