    Posted Jan 14, 2025 09:05 AM

    It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the passing of our dear colleague, Chrystal Carr Jeter. Chrystal was a devoted CSKBART member whose contributions to CSKBART were invaluable.  She shared a passion to advocate, empower, and support others. She has left a great legacy for each of us to follow.  

    The Jeter family has provided the following details of the homegoing services:

    "Chrystal Carr Jeter, loved by a host of family & friends. Celebration of Life service will be 10:30 a.m., Saturday, January 25th, 2025 at The Church of God in Cleveland, 11100 Union Ave, Cleveland, OH. and the family will receive friends one-half hour prior to service. Live Streaming will be available at www.lucasfuneralhome.com. Arrangements entrusted to Lucas Memorial Chapel. Visitation will be from 5:00-7:00pm on Friday at Lucas Memorial Chapel with a Delta Sigma Theta service starting at 5:00pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Church of God of Cleveland, Building Fund 11100 Union Ave. Cleve. OH. 44105. Interment will take place in Lawrenceville, Georgia."

    Chrystal will be missed by her family and friends, as she touched the lives of so many with her kindness, dedication, and the joy she shared with all. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.

    Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4 (NIV)
