(Richae’ Ranice Anderson aka Chae-Chae bka Chae Grit most commonly called Grit Mode by her Dad was born in Akron, Ohio on February 13th in 2001 @ 9:36a. She was Richard and Leatrices’ first daughter and a beautiful, loving, loyal sister to four brothers and four sisters. Richae’ graduated from Kenmore-Garfield in May of 2019. She aspired at a point in time to be a rapper (hence the name Chae’ Grit) but later on found a passion in being a caregiver around 2023/2024 which was her title during her unexpected demise on April 4th 2026. On the day of February 14th Valentine’s Day of 2022 she and Jae’Veon aka Jae gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who is now 4 years of age named Ja’ior Amor Willis aka JJ but many know her as Muffn per her Gannie.

Richae’ had a love for dogs but could never seem to keep them longer than 3 months lol. She also had a lizard for about 2 weeks last year that ran away (hence the name Chase) she said her little brother Brandon sold him and doesn’t believe he ran away LOL..Richae’ was a true comedian please check her socials for confirmation if you don’t believe it! Her very first viral moment was dancing on top of a car then falling onto the windshield while a music video was being filmed in the area they called “the bricks”. She then became known for her dancing and making sure to turn around and make sure we caught a glimpse of her squeezing her butt cheeks together then releasing them making sure she laughed it off afterwards. She was a great friend, sister,niece, cousin, mother, granddaughter and last but not least daughter. She shared her birthday with her Uncle Jameal and  I can’t forget to mention how annoyed he was with her being born on his birthday 10 years later in 2001. He hid in the closet of the hospital room that day but soon came to love and embrace her as his favorite niece/birthday twin. Richae’ had the most annoying yet funny and unforgettable laugh sounding like Spongebob you couldn’t ignore OR forget once you heard it! Which, I know we can still hear it today. She also loved her prized possession, a Blue Ford Fusion she purposely named “Blu Waffle”. Richae’ would rarely be caught in any other combo other than a Adidas/Puma fit with her Nike Dunks on. Lastly, if you didn’t hear her say the words “I’m cryin’ or I’m dead” followed by that laugh, it probably wasn’t funny lol.
Richae’ was preceded in death by her great-grandmothers’ Pearlie Evans and Adele Anderson; great-grandfathers; grandmother Shirley Ann Overstreet Johnson and her favorite older cousin Dman Evans.
