Cutters Creek, NC – Chriselda Harper tragically passed away after suffering a heart attack on September 7th, 2024. Her family has since organized a fundraiser to help cover her funeral expenses.
Chriselda, who was 45 years old, was the mother of two children, a 24-year-old son, Dylan, and a 7-year-old daughter, Kaia. Her eldest daughter, Dakota Blake, shared the devastating news through a GoFundMe campaign. Chriselda had previously battled epilepsy after a 3-month coma three years ago, a challenge she endured while continuing to care for her family.
On September 7th, Chriselda suffered a heart attack and was unable to breathe for approximately 30 minutes. Although paramedics arrived and took her to the hospital, the lack of oxygen to her brain left her unresponsive. Medical professionals later declared her brain dead, leaving her family in deep grief.
Dakota, the fundraiser’s organizer, wrote, “She’s always been strong for her family. She was the glue of our family. We are asking for any donations or help to cover her funeral costs.”
Friends of Chriselda have also taken to social media to express their sadness. Greg Tish posted, “My heart hurts. Chriselda had a heart of gold and was a dear friend. Please help if you can and please share. #tallahassee.”
Another friend, Jamie Louise Grant, shared, “Oh no!!!!!!! I read what happened, so tragic and unexpected. My heart hurts for her kids and family… RIP sweet friend.”
The GoFundMe campaign, titled "Support for Chriselda Harper’s Funeral Costs," has set a goal of $10,000. Dakota Blake is calling on the community to contribute and share the campaign to help cover the expenses.
Chriselda will be remembered for her kindness, strength, and the love she had for her children.
