Heaven gained an angel! Words failed us to write this for you, our dearest sister and a soldier of Christ, Deaconess Marian Opeoluwa Alakuko. You are a woman with a simple heart of gold. A woman of great virtues. You lived for what you stand for! A woman of integrity. She lived a life of total abandonment in life and ministry - A Deborah of our time. A woman who does not give in to class or segregation, who does not hide her feelings like some people do especially while in position of authority-Dorcas of our time. She was a strong pillar to her husband, Pastor Gabriel Olugbenga Ayotunde Alakuko and her children Richard, Korede, John, Issac and Paul. Aunty Opeoluwa would always prepare food for her husband anytime he is on official assignment or traveled for ministrations. Little wonder her husband would not eat outside no matter how far the journey is to Ilesa. She was just good to a fault-Sarah of our time. Little did we know that God has a special purpose for her and this was manifested when her husband was transferred to TACN Seminary at Ilesa-Eunice of our world. Everyone that came in contact with her would always feel a sigh of relief-Ruth of our time. Mummy Richard as she is fondly called is an open book and does not mince words. She is not pretentious but with high integrity. Deaconess Alakuko's demise may be painful to some but it is comforting to some others because even at her tender age she had achieved what an older woman wouldn't have achieved. Above all she achieved in life and ministry is the fact that Deaconess Marian Opeoluwa Alakuko had and know Jesus, She lived for him throughout life. We take solace in Christ and we pray to God to comfort our father Pastor Alakuko and family. Adieu Deaconess Marian Opeoluwa Alakuko!!!
