Memorial Service for Gunned Down ‘The Voice' Star Christina Grimmie in New Jersey

Family and friends are gathering in South Jersey to remember "The Voice'' singer Christina Grimmie.

The 22-year-old was shot to death last week as she signed autographs after a show in Orlando, Florida. Her assailant shot and killed himself after being tackled by her brother.

A viewing was scheduled Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. at Fellowship Alliance Chapel on Church Road in Medford, followed by a memorial service Friday night. The funeral will be private.

Grimmie lived in nearby Evesham Township, a small community about 20 miles from Philadelphia, before moving to Los Angeles in 2012. [[219318531, C]]

The YouTube star was widely known from her appearances on NBC's "The Voice'' two years ago.

Donations to the Christina Grimmie Scholarship Fund can be made to the Performing Arts of Cherokee High School care of Costantino Funeral Home.
