More About Chari
When she’s not leading Bible studies or teaching, Chari enjoys reading, gardening (or, as she likes to call it, “playing in the dirt”), and solving crossword puzzles.
Chari is supported in her work and life by her loving husband, Benito Rosales Jr., and their adult children: Benito III, Christopher, Alexander, and Rachel. The Rosales family also shares their home with Beatrice, a playful cat affectionately known as Skitty.
