Chrissie, beloved wife of Stephen Hereford, dear mother of Andrew (Marty) and Nicholas (Erin) Hereford, dear grandmother CeCe of Jimmy, Caitlin, and Eva, dear sister of Walter J. Sears and Frances Heron.
Chrissie was born in Grosse Pointe, MI and raised in Bethesda, MD. She was a graduate of George Washington University. Chrissie moved to St. Louis in 1965 with her husband Steve.

Two of her favorite organizations were City Academy and Meals on Wheels. She loved to travel but more than anything else, she absolutely adored her grandchildren and spent countless hours watching Jimmy play baseball, Caitlin on horseback and Eva dance.

July 7, 2021 at 4:11 pmDear Steve, I am sorry to read of Chrissie’s passing. She and you were so kind to me as a young teenager as I baby sat for Andrew and Nick both at your probably first home and then across from the high school. She made sure that there were snacks/food and books to read the kids. It was a pleasure to help your family in a small way, by baby sitting, so you and Chrissie could enjoy a free evening. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Andrew, and Nick.
