Ngozi Okonkwo
Ngozi Janice Okonkwo was a kind, passionate, driven, focused and diligent leader. She was an exemplary professional and an astute lawyer who commanded respect from all who knew her. For those of us who were fortunate enough to know and work with her it was indeed a privilege. She was the Chief Legal Officer at Oando PLC and a proud ‘Human of Oando’ who exemplified the companies core values of Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Passion and Professionalism. Over the years, she received various awards including being listed as one of the top 100 Most Influential People of African Descent as part of the United Nations international decade for people of African descent (2018), Legal 500's GC Power List Africa (2017) and Top 100 Corporate Counsels In Africa by Legal 500 (2016 and 2015). In November 2018, under her leadership our Legal team won the ESQ Legal Oil & Gas Team of the Year Award. This is in addition to several other team awards from 2015 to 2017. In 2019, she led the Legal department to win the award for ‘The O-Team’, described as the most hardworking team, problem solvers focused on achieving goals to move the company forward. The award was validation that her work and the ethos she had imbibed in her team resonated positively across the organization. Let us cherish the wonderful memories of her but also emulate her attributes and achievements. In our grief let us be thankful for her life, those that she impacted and those that she left behind. She will be greatly missed.
Teresa Brown
In memory of Teresa Brown also known as ‘Miss T’. Teresa was a quiet, kind and thoughtful person who spent her entire working life in the Trust from the day she left school. She started her career at Smallwood Hospital, moving to the Alex when it opened. She worked for many years in the Outpatients department before transferring to Ophthalmology in 2004. Teresa was a very special, much loved and respected friend as well as a colleague. She cared very much about each and every person in the team as well as her patients. She had the unique ability to make everyone laugh, even in the toughest of times but she was also caring and sensitive at the same time. Aside from work, Teresa enjoyed spending time with her close family who were very important to her. Teresa has left a huge hole in our lives, she will be remembered for her loyalty, love and affection always. She was indeed a truly beautiful person.
Carl Storr
Carl was a gentle man. He spoke sparingly but with wisdom and humour which endeared him to many of us. Although his wisdom was slightly more questionable when it came to football, (him being an Arsenal fan and all) and American Football (Miami Dolphins) sport brought him great pleasure. In a purely watching capacity! He travelled through life with a wonderful balance of kindness, calmness and a level of contentedness that many of us envied. Sadly, after a 37 year career in the Civil Service Carl passed suddenly last week. Given the man that he was, many of you will want to leave your thoughts, pictures and condolences here for his family to see. We are grateful for the time we spent with Carl and will miss him greatly.
Dhiraj Vithlani
Celebrating the life of a very special and beautiful soul who played many roles in all of our lives- she lived a long and beautiful life, radiating love and peace to everyone around her, and our only prayer is that she finds eternal peace and a spot close to God, who was her constant companion in the journey of her life and whom she worshipped with great faith.
Jean Davidson
Margaret Jane Davidson or Jean, as she was known to friends and family, was a strong determined woman. She had a simple straight forward relationship with her God and tried to live her life in line with the Bible’s teaching. She was a caring supportive loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She shared her life with her one true love, her husband John until his premature death in 1976. She continued to care for their five children and helped and supported them for the rest of her life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Beatrice Otoade Bolodeoku
Princess Beatrice Otoade Bolodeoku nee Adetosoye popularly referred to as Mama Bolo is a true definition of who a mother is.. Like her name "Otoade" meaning "the truth of the crown", Mama Bolo always stood for the truth! As one of the pioneer female Chartered Accountant in Nigeria and the first female Chartered Accountant North East England, she was a trailblazer who attained a peak in a career being the first female director of Nestle Plc Africa during her time. Her love and support for her many children (biological and non-biological) was admired by all. Mama Bolo's devotion to the Almilghty God was seen in her servitude to man-kind through her numerous philanthropic deeds and her commitment in her home church. Although she will be greatly missed, we are grateful to God for her glorious transition and take solace in God's word: “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 NIV
Martin Hunt
As some of you may know, Martin was given the devastating news on 19th of February 2020 that he had an aggressive brain tumour. Martin touched the hearts of so many people and is loved by so many, including colleagues across a number of services. Martin went above and beyond with the work that he did with our Young People. He was respected by so many and he would often be greeted in the streets of Huddersfield by his young people who thanked him for all he had done for them. His career spanned 30 years as a Social Worker, Senior Practitioner and a Team Manager in Kirklees across a number of service areas. A significant number of these years were spent in the Children in Care and Care Leavers service. In July 2019 Martin was successful in securing his dream job as a Practice and Development Consultant. Martin loved his role as it gave him the opportunity to be able to mentor newly qualified Social Workers starting their careers, a significant role in relation to their professional development. Martin was also one of the first Social Workers in Kirklees to set up supported housing for a woman he was working with who he knew would not thrive in the traditional care settings available to her at the time. I’m sure you all have some memory of Martin that will make you smile at this sad time and we ask you to share some memories of him here.

Nana Adwoa Agyekum
Dear GIS Community It grieves me greatly to share the news of the passing of one of our beloved GIS students – Nana Adwoa Agyekum. The news is shocking and has left us all deeply distraught. Many of us spoke with her last week, chatted with her online; she was even discussing university choices with the School Counselors. That was Nana Adwoa; only in Form 4 but planning how dynamic her application was going to be in 4 years time! Nana Adwoa was active on the sports field, confident on the school stage (she was going to be Rizzo in our adaptation of Grease!), brilliant in the classroom (she was a maths prize winner!). She was respectful, responsible and a class act. What a realization that Nana Adwoa was one of those students about whom we could say without a doubt exemplified the GIS Attributes…and therefore what a loss: To her classmates, her teachers, and staff who interacted with her and children in the primary school she volunteered to read to and mentor. Although many students have already heard, I am now able to formally share the news with the community after receiving her parent’s permission this morning. Our hearts go out to them and our prayers encircle them at this most difficult time. We cannot even begin to imagine the depth of sorrow they must be in and all we can say in our Twi dialect is ‘Sh3din’…be comforted. May she rest in perfect peace. - Dr. Ashun.
Patricio Pedro Sepulveda Soto
Pato, patito los que hemos estado en la facultad te conocemos de alguna manera cruzamos nuestro camino contigo, nuestro amigo quien nos acompañó en momentos tan rutinarios como recibir una solicitud, tan solemne como la entrada a algún examen y tan importantes como al salir de nuestros exámenes de grado siempre con una sonrisa o una talla. Patricio tenía un hijo, fue siempre muy cercano y preocupado por sus padres, trabajador, responsable con principios y valores altos, te extrañaremos.
Anne McLeod
In memory of our much loved colleague of 17 years, Anne McLeod (Senior Lecturer in Critical Care and Programme Director for Adult Nursing at City, University of London). Anne embodied the best qualities of a nurse academic; she was hard working, loyal, resourceful and had a fantastic sense of humour. Anne was an exceptionally compassionate and caring person who was always mindful of the welfare of those around her. Anne’s fierce advocacy for students was at the heart of everything she did. Her spirit will live on in the thousands of City nursing students she taught, and their contributions to healthcare will be her lasting legacy. We will miss Anne so very much; our thoughts are with her family and friends at this incredibly sad and difficult time.
