Early Life

Early Life


Placeholder — Chrissie was born on a bright morning in the coastal town of Cape Coast, the second of five children. From an early age she was known for her quick laugh, her love of singing in the church choir, and the careful way she looked after her younger siblings. Her childhood was filled with the rhythm of the sea, the bustle of market days, and long evenings spent listening to her grandmother's stories.

Family

Family


Placeholder — Family was the great love of Chrissie's life. She met her husband in her early twenties and together they built a home filled with music, prayer, and an open door for anyone who needed a meal or a kind word. She raised four children and welcomed nine grandchildren, each of whom she knew intimately — their favourite foods, their fears, their quiet dreams.

Faith & Community

Faith & Community
