St. Paul, MN—Giselle Sagbo, a beloved mother, sister, and grandmother, passed away on Saturday, October 19, 2024, leaving a void felt deeply by her family and friends. Her children, Geraldine, Joel, and Melone, are mourning the loss of their mother, a woman who exemplified love, sacrifice, and strength.
Giselle’s journey began in Lomé, Togo, where she and her husband, Andre Sagbo, dreamed of building a brighter future for their children. In 1999, Andre took the first step, immigrating to the United States, followed by Giselle and their young children, Geraldine and Joel, in 2002. The Sagbo family faced numerous challenges in their new life, but Giselle’s resilience remained unwavering. When Andre suffered a severe stroke in 2008, requiring long-term care, Giselle took on the responsibility of sole provider and caregiver, a role she upheld with immense strength and compassion until Andre’s passing in 2020.
Known for her skillful work as a hair braider in St. Paul, Giselle supported her family tirelessly while also extending help to her loved ones back in Togo. Even after her own stroke in November 2023, Giselle demonstrated remarkable resilience, making significant strides in her recovery thanks to the dedicated support of her children. Her life was a testament to perseverance, and her children now carry forward her legacy of love and sacrifice.
In the wake of her passing, the Sagbo family is faced with substantial expenses for funeral arrangements and other unforeseen costs. A fundraiser organized by Tola, a supporter of the family, seeks to alleviate some of these burdens. Friends and community members, such as Bianca Zeah, Kayi Samey, and Rebecca Bol Gai, have already shown their support through donations, and the Sagbo family expresses their gratitude for the outpouring of love and generosity.
We extend our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the Sagbo family during this difficult time, remembering Giselle Sagbo’s life as one marked by strength, love, and boundless dedication to her family.
