Deaconess Oluyemisi Idowu Okunniyi

January 8, 1948 - February 21, 2020

No longer by our side, but always in our hearts! Late Deaconess Oluyemisi Idowu Okunniyi (nee Adekoya) was a native of Abigi, Ijebu Waterside, in Ogun State of Nigeria. She was married to Late Chief Olayinka Alade Okunniyi. She was the precious mother of Yeside, Olajumoke, Babajide and Olaoluwa; a grandmother, sister, auntie and friend to many. She loved everyone with all their faults, and gave her all, every time. She supported everyone, whether a stranger or well known. She was blessed not only with her biological children, but also several adopted/spiritual children. She was a lifelong member of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria. "Her life was a blessing, Her memory a treasure.... She is loved beyond words And missed beyond measure" (Renee Wood).

    MUMMY STILL FINDING IT HARD TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE GONE! I KEPT ASKING MYSELF THIS UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, IS IT TRUE OR AM I DREAMING? WHY MUST SHE GO LIKE THAT? WHY HER THIS TIME AROUND! “WHEN I SPEAK OF HER I TRIED NOT TO SPEAK WITH TEARS, FOR THOUGHTS OF HER SHOULD NOT BE SAD. I SAID I WILL BE STRONG, BUT TEARS KEEP ROLLING DOWN FROM MY EYES FREELY. OUR LAST ENCOUNTER TOGETHER KEEPS COMING BACK TO MY MEMORY Such a Kind Tender Hearted , Strong, Disciplinary, and Caring Woman (IYA OKON), Honestly I still never believe you are truly gone, for She has left such a loving presence in My heart.” . SHE AFFECT MY LIFE POSITIVELY, SHE ACCOMMODATES ME,WHEN OTHERS REJECTED ME. I CANNOT WRITE THE STORY OF MY SUCCESS WITHOUT HER FEATURING PROMINENTLY. I let the memories of the times We share together comforts Me, for My life was rich because of Her.” “Though, She didn’t tell me how to live; she lived, and let me watch her do it. What an amazing life She led. I will never forget the way she smiled and the way she loved with every piece of her heart and how blunt she can be when we use to discussed issues on Personal lives and Family matters.”

    Mommy, you were considerate, caring and kind to a fault. Family and church were your life and you always went above and beyond. We remember always telling you, you couldn't fix everybody's problem. You always found time for everyone, even at a personal expense. The values you lived by always inspired us and we are proud to have been born and raised by you. You sacrificed for us to the very end. Greet daddy for us. We will take care of Olaolu for you. Good night mummy, we wish you didn't have to go to sleep this early but sleep well, you deserve a good rest.
