With gratitude to God for a life richly blessed and beautifully lived, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend, Madam Dorcas Akinsola, who peacefully departed this life on 20 May 2026 in Ibadan, Nigeria, at the age of 96.

Her gentle spirit, warm smile, and caring nature touched countless lives and left an enduring impression on everyone privileged to know her.

She was a loving and devoted mother who was blessed with seven wonderful children, each of whom was a source of immense pride and joy to her. Through her wisdom, sacrifice, guidance, and unconditional love, she laid a strong foundation for her family and nurtured generations who will continue to cherish her values and honour her memory.

Madam Akinsola was known for her kindness, generosity, and gracious hospitality. Her home was a place of welcome, comfort, and encouragement. Whether through a thoughtful word, a helping hand, or a heartfelt prayer, she had a special gift for making people feel valued and loved.

Throughout her long and fruitful life, she built lasting friendships and meaningful relationships.

Her memory will remain a blessing, and her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Matthew 25:23

May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
