Obituary

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Jerusha Maruti, who was born on 4th May, 1973 and passed away on 21st April, 2026. 
Jesh will be remembered for kindness, generosity, and the quiet ability to bring people together. Family, friends, neighbours, and colleagues all experienced the warmth and sincerity that made time spent with Jesh meaningful. Throughout life, Jesh built lasting connections and touched many lives through simple acts of care, encouragement, and friendship. Conversations, shared moments, and everyday gestures created memories that will remain with those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Family meant a great deal to Jesh; she nurtured her relationships with patience and devotion. Friends valued loyalty and sincerity, while colleagues appreciated dedication and a thoughtful approach to work and collaboration.

The passing of our beloved Jesh leaves a void that cannot be filled. Yet the memories, lessons, and moments shared will continue to live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

To my dearest godmother,

Your smile lit up every room, and your laughter brought joy to everyone lucky enough to know you. You were deeply loved, and your kindness and spirit will stay with us always. We will carry your memory forward and strive to be even a fraction of the incredible person you were. Rest in peace—you will never be forgotten.

Hi Jesh,

I still remember you from our time as roommates at Egerton. Your smile has always stayed with me. While the rest of us lived in jeans and T-shirts, you were always impeccably dressed for lectures—something I quietly admired. I also miss your infectious laugh; it brought so much warmth to those around you.

Even when distance separated us, you remained present in my daily prayers and at Mass. I continue to pray for you now, that you may enter fully into God’s glory.

Thank you for embracing life so fully, for your constant smile, and for always carrying yourself with such elegance.

Rest in peace!

One thing I will always carry with me about Aunty Jesh is her hugs—they were so genuine, so full of warmth and love. It’s something I learnt from her, and it reflected the depth of her beautiful soul. She had a way of making people feel at home, just by being herself. I will deeply miss that… and her gentle, loving heart. Forever in our hearts A.Jesh.

Jesh, at Egerton, in our AGHE course 💕 I was 102, you were 103, you laughed when I reminded you that in March. Always my pillar in academics, dependable and full of integrity 🙂. Even during graduation we were next to each other.
You embodied love wherever you stepped with your smile, and the few periods when I didn't see your smile I always knew something was terribly wrong.
Your body gave up your spirit, but I still feel your spirit smiling in your new journey.

Jesh...I don't know what to say...you were a beautiful soul and I'm grateful that God blessed you in that way because you had space for everyone in your heart.
It was easy to get along with you and you had such depth in the advice you would give.
Thank you for being exemplary, thank you for being courageous, thank you for being authentically you.
Well done! Well done... May God reward your fidelity.
I am encouraged that you are no longer in pain. It has pleased God to call you back home, we accept His most perfect will.
May God comfort your family in a special way.

Pray for us Jesh... Pray for us!

Dear Joe, your beautiful daughters, and the Ouko family,

My heartfelt condolences to you all during this very difficult time. May God grant you peace, strength, and comfort in the days ahead.

Jesh was quietly a powerhouse. She was gentle, resilient, and deeply present in the lives of those who knew her.

She carried a very heavy battle with remarkable courage and grace, and I know she is already dearly missed.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

May she rest in peace, and may her memory continue to be a blessing to you all.
