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).

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.
