Lucy Mbula Mbithi

Your light remains in all who knew and loved you
Obituary
With deep sadness and profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Lucy. Our hearts are heavy as we come to terms with this great loss, yet we find comfort in the assurance of God’s love and the promise of eternal rest. We entrust her soul to Him, praying that she finds peace in His heavenly kingdom.
Lucy was deeply loved — a woman of warmth, kindness, and generosity, whose vibrant spirit brought light and joy wherever she went. Grounded in her faith, Lucy lived a life that reflected her love of God through compassion, humility, and service to others. Her faith was not only a source of strength for herself but also a guiding light to those around her.
At the center of Lucy’s life was her family. She was a devoted and loving mother, and her greatest joy was her son, whom she cherished deeply. She nurtured him with unwavering love, care, and strength, shaping his life with tenderness and purpose. She also held her parents and siblings close to her heart, speaking of them with deep affection and pride. To Lucy, family was everything.
Lucy built meaningful and lasting relationships throughout her life. Her friends treasured her loyalty, sincerity, and the genuine warmth she brought into their lives. She had a remarkable ability to make people feel seen, valued, and supported. Her colleagues respected her dedication, integrity, and thoughtful approach to her work. In every space she occupied, she contributed her skills, her kindness and encouragement. She approached life with focus and determination, a true go-getter who inspired those around her to strive for more. Strong-willed and courageous, once she set her heart on a path, she pursued it with unwavering resolve.
Through quiet conversations, shared laughter, mentorship, and everyday acts of love, Lucy touched countless lives. These moments, though simple, have left a lasting imprint that will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Lucy’s passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Yet, even in our grief, we hold onto the memories, lessons, and love she shared so freely. Her legacy lives on in her son, her family, her friends, and all whose lives she touched.
Lucy will be deeply missed and forever remembered with love.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.

I will cherish the discussions we had. In a soft, smiling but yet with a genuine, intentional and carefully though-out resolute conviction. The plans you had for the next two years. God knows best why this did not come to pass. Now a beautiful soul is with Him. Thank you for all and the unrealized plans we never actualized.
I will keep your fire burning and do what you would have done for us. I miss you! Rest well and keep watching over us. Till we meet again!

I pray for your son, Lucas, may he find strength and comfort in this difficult time.
Eternal rest be granted unto you, Lucy and may perpetual light shine upon you. May you Rest In Peace.
Words are not enough and words are heavy
Some people come into your life in ordinary ways.
And then there are those who arrive quietly, unexpectedly—
and somehow change everything.
We met in a way that only life could script—
I knew your brother before I ever knew you,
never imagining that through that connection,
I would find a friendship that would span over the years.
Years of laughter.
Years of conversations that never quite ended.
Years of a presence that became constant,
familiar, and deeply cherished.
She had the most beautiful smile—
the kind that didn’t just light up her face,
but reached into the room and softened everything around her.
And her laugh…
it was honest, effortless, and contagious.
The kind of laugh that made you want to keep the joke going,
just to hear it one more time.
She found joy in the simplest things
a good joke,
playful banter,memes shared at the most random hours,
and of course, good food that somehow tasted better
when shared in her company.
She had a way of making life feel lighter.
Not because life was always easy,
but because she chose to meet it with warmth, humor,
and an open heart.
And that’s what stays with me now—
not just the memories,
but the feeling she left behind
And how she was proud of Luki ,whom she called Mheshimiwa.
A reminder that friendship doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.
That laughter can be healing.
That presence—just being there—can mean everything.
Losing her leaves a silence that words can’t quite fill.
But even in that silence,
her laughter echoes.
Her smile lingers.
Her spirit remains.
And for all these years of friendship,
of joy, of shared moments, of memories that time cannot erase—
I am grateful.
Rest well, my dear Kaliu,
You were deeply loved.
And you will never be forgotten.


This still feels surreal and so so heavy. Your passing has really made me reflect on the meaning of life!
We met in Daystar as freshmen in May 2007. And even after that, we maintained a connection through the socials and even through that, I could see how intentional you were about your friendships, family and especially Lucas. Oh Luki, my heart aches for him. You loved your son dearly and I’m sure he knows and feels it.
You lived life to the full and even in your death, I’m getting to learn so much about you and the amazing human being that you were.
The best way to honor your life is to carry on the values that shaped you. You impacted many and this loss has truly been devastating and shocking!
Rest well Lucy. May God’s love, grace and comfort surround Lucas, your Mum, Dad, Brothers, Relatives, Friends and all those who knew you and loved you.
Rest In God’s Loving Arms.

Having you at All Saints’ Cathedral together with your son meant so much to our church family, especially within the Youth and Young Adults Service, where you were continually being spiritually nourished while Lucas joyfully attended Sunday School. Your presence brought warmth, strength, and quiet encouragement to many.
You will be deeply missed, yet we remain grateful for the privilege of walking with you and serving you spiritually during your time with us.
To your precious son Lucas, may you know that God’s loving hands will hold and keep you through the care of the family surrounding you. To Dad, Mum, and all the siblings, poleni sana. In this painful season, may the Lord comfort you and strengthen your hearts.
We are encouraged by the words of Paul: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21)
With heartfelt condolences, love, and continued prayers.

I remember from the time I told you I hated my name you asked if calling me bae is better & we stuck with that.
Thank you for being my friend, literally. Thank you for beautiful memories that I'll hold dearly. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for supporting all tbe random businesses I did & wasn't sure of. Thank you for never letting me guess where I stand in our friendship. Thank you for standing on business when I tried to downplay my worth.
There’s alot I could write.
This isn't goodbye.
I will miss you, ALOT.
Rest in eternal peace ❤️🕊️


Your death leaves me at a profound loss, and I pray that God gives me and everyone that knew you the grace to deal with the loss. Go well, friend, and see you someday.

we met in kiriri when i was a new comer and you displayed such kindness. Over the years we met unexpectedly and it was always so nice to see you looking good...I admired your life on IG especially your relationship with your son.
Feb this year, on your birthday I wished you well and hoped you got well soon. .as your usual self- you replied-thankyou..I wished I followed through to know how you were fairing on...seeing your pictures doing rounds on social media hit me bad....truly this life is not our own.
Heaven has surely gained an angel. Rest in paradise Doll
That's how I used to call you. I remember you joining B. Braun and taking you through the roles you were to take from me. You were a forever happy soul, I remember you laughing and making jokes even in the most serious situations. You were so easy to get along with, I showed my daughter a picture you had together and she was quick to say, " she is so kind " at that point I thought I cannot mention to her that you are no more. Kaliu, thank you for accepting to be my bridesmaid < we had fun fitting your dress > I'll miss you, I'll miss calling Carol and always asking how is Kaliu.
May your soul rest in peace.
I learnt of your passing from a friend, and I was deeply saddened and at a loss for words. You were a wonderful soul, always wearing a warm smile and so intentional in your friendships.
I pray that you rest in eternal peace, and that your family and son find comfort and strength during this incredibly difficult time.
Rest with the angels🕊️
Thats how I always called you.
You came into my life first as a colleague, then as a friend, and finally as the neighbour who felt like family. I keep thinking about the simple things; the chats after work, the laughter, the ease of knowing you were just nearby. Those ordinary moments now feel so incredibly special. I miss you deeply. More than words can fully express. Thank you for your kindness, your warmth, and the space you filled in my life so effortlessly. You left a mark that will never fade. You’ll always be a part of the rhythm of my life. Rest well, Lucy 🤍

Still feels unreal that you’re no more. I met you at Daystar in 2007/8, and for the longest time we’ve IG friends…bantered about recipes, school, work, motherhood. In the last 3 years, we’d connect often at church, as we waited for the boys to finish off at Sunday school. You kept your smile, despite being ill. Your departure has been a reminder of the finality that life is, and challenge to embody your values, and live wholeheartedly each day. Go well, Lucy. May you find perfect rest in God’s arms. For Lucas, your family and loved ones, I pray that God gives you sufficient grace, strength for each day. Rest in peace Lucy.
Sister to Caro Kariuki your next door neighbour. I will truly miss you and the news of your passing have been quite heavy and devastating. I remember how you were such a good friend and neighbour to my sister. Always caring and loving to people around you. I will miss visiting my sister and always spending time with you.
I remember how you invited us to a random party in January you were so so happy and we had lost of fun moments, we did not know that was your final happy moments. I will cherish the many memories shared and laughter. I will carry your virtues of kindness and goodness all the days of my life. Till we meet again sweet sweet Lucy

My heart will always love and ache for you. Some emotions are hard to express so I would insert here the heartfelt letter I left you July 14th 2019 when we had to say our goodbyes.
A work relationship blossomed into friendship that has lasted forever.
Love you forever

My heart aches for you! You were a light that burned with intensity and grace that few could match. Your absence leaves a void that words can barely fill.
Though your flame has been extinguished far too soon, the warmth of your memory continues to glow. Rest with the angels ✨
We worked together for short period of time at B Braun Kenya, I thank you for the light moments, the banters and constant reminder that work is better when you bring your full joyful self to it.
It's painful having to write a tribute like this and not tell you in person on how you impacted our lives.
Kwaheri Lucy you'll will always be remembered.

I know Lucy when I used to work in Roche representing Ethiopia while she was Key account manager for Kenya; we used to do presentation together, and have a side discussion about the business; Lucy was very honest and care for peoples especially for a person like me who used to come from neighbour country - Ethiopia - her hospitality is never forgotten.
Anyway, all things have happened outside of our decision and God only knows the real reason.
I wish all her relatives the fastest recovery and especially for her kid I wish him to heal fast anyway it is difficult to forget a mam like Lucy.
We shared simple but unforgettable moments—laughing under the mapera tree, playing kati with the other neighbours—moments that now feel like treasures held in time.
Though life has taken us on different paths, the memories remain so alive in my heart. And now, as I reflect, I find comfort in believing that Lucy is resting peacefully, among the angels, far above the skies.
She may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
Rest well, Lucy. 🕊️
You were such a joy to be around. You had a way of lifting the atmosphere wherever you went, and I feel so grateful to have experienced that.
What stood out most was the love you had for your son. It was powerful, constant, and unmistakable. You spoke of him with such pride and tenderness. It was clear that he was at the very center of your world. That kind of love leaves a lasting mark, and it will continue to live on through him.
You will never be forgotten. Your spirit, your kindness, and the love you gave so freely will continue to echo in the lives you touched.
Rest peacefully. You were truly special.
I am yet to come into terms with what has happened. It hurts deep; it is very painful and shocking.
See you in the resurrection morning. (1st Thes.4:16-17) May the almighty God grant peace and comfort to your family and friends.
May perpetual light shine upon her, as she takes her peaceful rest.
May God's right hand be with Lucy's son and her family as they undergo this moment and season.
I got to know about you through your dear brother John. I prayed for you while at hospital and will continue praying for you. May your soul rest in eternal peace.
Words fail me to write a message after your passing on.I remember you took me in your house and treated me like your little sister with so much love and care.Not forgetting the random trips we would take to just go explore food,malls and buy Lucas and I everything we wanted.You loved your son with every bit of your heart and we promise to extend the love you carried to him as he grows up and honours your legacy.Rest in peace Mama Lukki we shall meet on the beautiful shore when its our time.
Still in disbelief and can’t believe you are gone, just the other day we spoke and I also got to see you😭😭😭😭😭 may God comfort us especially your biggest joy Lucas and the family. We loved you but God loved you most. Sleep well with the angels my dearest!
We grew up side by side, and some of my earliest memories are of the sleepovers at your place with kina Willo, those carefree days when we’d all squeeze into Auntie’s pickup, laughing the whole way. It felt like pure joy. I remember visiting you at Utawala Primary and secretly looking forward to boarding school myself, just so I could experience those visiting days full of food and love, even though the goodbyes were never easy, especially for you, John and Willo
Then we became teenagers, and our sleepovers got even better. Late nights with the radio on, listening to R&B, talking about everything and nothing. You taught me how to cook pilau, and somehow made it look so easy. We stood together as bridesmaids in our cousins’ weddings, shared trips to the coast, and created memories that will stay with me forever.
As we grew older, life continued to bring us closer. Our first jobs around Gigiri, how we’d jav into town and spend our lunch breaks together, just catching up and laughing like we always did. Then came motherhood. Watching you become a mum was something special. You were so intentional, so loving, so present. Lucas is truly blessed to have had you as his mother.
My heart aches for him, but I promise we will surround him with love and do our best to make sure he always feels you near.
I wish you had more time, Luc. I wish you could have stayed longer. But for now, I hold on to every memory, every laugh, every moment we shared.
Rest well, my cousin, my sister, my friend 🧡





May God give your family strength.
May your son never lack and may he always be protected.
Shine on your way angel,till we meet again
Can't say much than rest in peace. How? Why? Will no more get an answer. A friend then a colleague and a friend...very painful but nothing much to do. Pray for us wherever you are now
I’ll miss how you didn’t talk much, yet you understood everything—you were more of a listener than a talker, and that made you so special.
You were my client, but more than that, you became someone I truly appreciated. You had such a beautiful way with words and expression—something I always admired about you.
Right now, I’m honestly at a loss for words. It doesn’t feel real. But for the short time we shared, I’m so grateful I got to meet you.
You were truly one of a kind.
And I will carry that with me always.
I will miss you… I will forever miss you. 💔
She will be missed. May she rest in eternal peace.
To say that I’m heartbroken would be an understatement and an injustice to you, for losing you is not only heartbreaking, it’s losing the most pure form of love that only one had to be your friend to experience.
I am short for words, and i don’t think I will ever find the right ones to say, but for now, rest well my friend, my classmate. For sure, heaven has gained an Angel.
Forever love.
Dear Lucy,
I don’t even know where to start, because you were never just a neighbour to us, you were a real friend, someone who made this place feel like home. It was in the small things; your warm greetings, your kindness, the way you were always there without ever making it a big deal. You gave so much of yourself so naturally, and that’s something I’ll never forget.
I’m truly grateful to God that I got the chance to know you. You had such a warm and beautiful heart. The memories we shared especially during our children’s birthdays, the laughter and joy mean so much to me, and I’ll carry them with me forever.
You leave behind more than memories; you leave a feeling of warmth that will never fade. You will always be remembered, not just as a neighbour, but as a truly dear friend who brought light, comfort, and kindness into our lives.
You will be missed more than words can say.
I am utterly broken—your loss is a devastation I cannot put into words. The silence you’ve left behind is suffocating.
I will forever grieve our girls’ meetups, our trips, our potlucks… memories that now feel painfully sacred.
You were not just my friend—you were part of my very being.
Rest now, beyond all pain, in perfect peace.
I love you, endlessly and eternally.
Alison

Remember that giggly whirlwind, a spark of pure delight 🥹
She painted our world with laughter, day and through the night.
With a heart so sweet and kind, and a spirit light and free,
She was the bubbliest of friends, a treasure for you and me.
I will always remember you my Roomy ❤️

It still doesn’t feel real writing this. Part of me keeps expecting to hear your voice, to see your name light up my phone, to laugh about something small and silly like we always did or to walk into my kitchen and find you making yourself coffee. You were never meant to be a memory, you were meant to be a constant.
Lucy, you were the kind of person people felt before they even understood you. So gentle, so kind, so effortlessly warm. You had this quiet peace about you, the kind that made everything around you feel softer, safer, lighter. You didn’t have to try. You just were.
You loved so purely. You showed up. You listened. You cared in ways that didn’t ask for attention but left a lasting imprint on everyone lucky enough to know you. And I was lucky, so so lucky to have gotten to experience 19 years on this earth with you.
There are so many things I wish I could say to you one more time. So many moments I wish I could relive, slower this time. But more than anything, I’m grateful. Grateful for your love, your presence, your laughter, your heart.
Even now, I feel you in the quiet moments. In the stillness. In the love that remains. Because you didn’t just pass through our lives, you changed us. You live on in the way we love, in the way we show up for each other, in the softness you taught us and the dedication you had to your beautiful son Lucas.
Rest gently, my sweetheart. You were deeply loved and you always will be.
Forever your Sweetheart




Speak of me as you have always done, remember the good times, laughter, and fun. Share the happy memories we’ve made.
Do not let them wither or fade. I’ll be with you in the summer’s sun, and when the winter’s chill has come. I’ll be the voice that whispers in the breeze.
I’m peaceful now, put your mind at ease. I’ve rested my eyes and gone to sleep, but memories we’ve shared, are yours to keep.
Sometimes our final days, maybe a test, but remember me, when I am at my best.
Although things may not be the same, don’t be afraid to use my name. Let your sorrow last for just a while, comfort each other and try to smile.
I’ve lived a life full of joy and fun. Live on now, make me proud of what you’ll become.
