"Beth had two homes -- Hawai'i and Colorado," a statement announcing the memorial said. "'I love Hawai'i the most,' she said, so she will be sent off in true Hawaiian style, with aloha."

Chapman and her husband, Duane "Dog" Chapman, were the stars of the hit reality show, which chronicled the adventures of their family-owned bounty-hunting business and aired from 2004 to 2012.

Fans came to love them, and her death has been met on social media with an outpouring of grief.

Hours after her death, her husband told reporters she spent her final hours worrying about her family.

"When she had an attack, I didn't know anything to do but to say 'in Jesus' name' and hold her," Duane Chapman said. "And when I said 'in Jesus' name' she said, 'Say it again, say it more.' "

He said his wife then told her family, " 'I love you' and 'Are you guys all OK? Don't worry,' but she never accepted it."
