Chantal Marie Varga
was born in Tampa, Florida on April 12, 1985. She attended Carrollwood Elementary, Adams Middle School, Orange Grove Middle School, Blake High School, and graduated from Alonso High School in 2003, with honors. After studying abroad in Florence, Italy, London, England and Sydney, Australia, she
graduated from the University of South Florida in the summer of 2007, majoring in Public and Cultural Communications. Chantal was a truly beautiful, gifted, and talented free-spirit with an infectious zest for life and a deep love and
appreciation for those who were blessed to know her and be a part of her earth-spirit. An avid lover of travel, Chantal immersed herself in different cultures and embraced a tolerant and loving attachment toward all people. Chantal didn't talk about doing extraordinary things; she did them. She didn't talk about some day, after she got older, going out and living her life; she really lived it. Chantal was an amazing young woman who could light up a room with her smile and laughter. We should be so thankful to have been a part of her life and to have so many great memories. She was an inspiration to everyone she met. We are all better people for having known Chantal. She loved God and loved others and it was evident in her life. She will be deeply missed - until we meet again in heaven.
