Meredith Sullivan Chapman was an American award-winning professional marketer for higher education on the East Coast. On April, 2018, she was murdered by Jenn Air Gerardot for allegedly being the lover of Mark Gerardot, Jenn Air's husband.

Chapman was born and raised in the state of Pennsylvania for most of her life. She grew up in the Chester County and attended Avon Grove High School.

She is an alumni of University of Delaware where she earned both her BA and MA degrees. She received her BA degree in Communications and Geography. She then earned her MA in Education Technology.

During her time at the university, she was involved in several activities and groups.

She was on the cheerleading squad and also did work for the student television network at the college.

She is the producer of a documentary called "Ready...or not?" which was nominated for an Emmy.

She started in broadcast journalism at WHYY, a Philadelphia-based PBS affiliate.

She produced the nightly news and managed the website.

The experience allowed her to take her journalism skills to work on Capitol Hill. For the U.S. House of Representatives, she worked as a communications manager for Delaware's Congressman, Mike Castle. Since then she began to be involved in several marketing projects for companies and high-education.

For the last eight years, she was immersed in higher education marketing and communications.

While working at the University of Delaware full-time as Senior Director for Marketing, she also spent the last four years as Associate Consultant for Ruffalo Noel Levitz (RNL) – partnering with colleges and universities across the country to develop forward-thinking strategies for branding, marketing, digital and social media, and marketing governance.

Before she died, she had just been given the position of assistant vice president at Villanova University.

On the evening of April 23rd, 2018, just as Meredith entered her home, a woman named Jenn Air Gerardot, shot her to death. Jenn Air then turn the gun on herself and shot herself in the head. Chapman was a woman who allegedly had an affair with Gearadot's husband, Mark.

Jenn Air caught wind of her husband’s relationship, and mapped out her response in a series of text messages and emails that made her intentions clear, police said.

She wanted revenge.

Jenn Air had sent emails and texts to her husband indicating her plans to murder Chapman.

Jenn Air disguised herself by donning a wig, and took a train from Delaware to Radnor, where Chapman lived alone in a three-story brick property on the bucolic-sounding Lowrys Lane.

Chapman and Mark Gerardot worked together at UD since the fall when the Gerardots relocated to Delaware.

Chapman was married to a man named Luke Chapman who survives her.
