Chelsey Lathes Towns Sokoloff
February 5, 1988 – December 22, 2025

Remembering Petworth resident Chelsey Sokoloff

Born on February 5, 1988, Chelsey lived her life with remarkable strength, grace and passion. She was a loving wife, a remarkable mother, a cherished daughter and sister, and a loyal friend. Her boundless spirit, zest for life, brightest of smiles and deep inner strength left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Chelsey passed away peacefully on December 22, 2025, at her childhood home in Dublin, Texas, surrounded by the love of her family, after a long and courageous fight with cancer.

Chelsey is survived by her beloved husband, David, and their three children, Aden, Layla and Kennedy, who were the center of her world. She is also survived by her sister Tara, her parents, Bill and Lathes Towns, and many extended family members and friends who will forever hold her close in their hearts.

Throughout her life, Chelsey exemplified courage and love — facing adversity with grace and always placing others before herself. She will be remembered for her joyful energy, unwavering devotion to her family, incredible dancing skills, and the love she shared so freely.

Chelsey is, and will always be, cherished by those who had the good fortune to meet her during her far too-short time on earth.

John 14:1-11: I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
