In Memorial 

From her children and grandchildren

It is with great sadness and hearts anchored in faith that we announce the passing of our dear mother and grandmother, Pastor Dr Mrs Olufunke Adegbeyeni, née Olaborede.

She passed away peacefully after a brief illness on Monday 13th April in London, UK, with her family by her side.

Our mother was the centre of our world. She was our confidante, friend, advocate, sage and our rock, lifting us up daily with her prayers, strength and unconditional love.

She was an exceptional woman with an unwavering devotion to God and those in need. She was also an accomplished academic with a PhD, the founder of multiple private schools and a Pastor who led with humility, compassion and grace.

While we feel her loss deeply and will miss her more than we can ever express, we thank God and rejoice for a life richly lived.

She is immediately survived by her husband of 58 years, Professor Emmanuel Adegbeyeni, her 5 children and 9 grandchildren.

We celebrate her 80 wonderful years and will share details of her funeral arrangements, which will take place in Nigeria, on this website in due course. Please check here frequently for more information, further announcements will follow.

For now, we remember the Word of God:
For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
(2 Corinthians 5:7-8)

Senior Mummy, as we fondly called you;

Your life was a beautiful reflection of faith, humility, diligence, and compassion, leaving an enduring example for everyone privileged to know you.

We have countless memories of the special ways you connected with each of us, always making everyone feel seen, valued, and deeply loved. Whether it was the joy that accompanied your return from trips abroad or the warmth of your presence at our weddings and family celebrations, you had a remarkable way of leaving hearts fuller than you met them. Every visit carried with it a special touch that reflected your thoughtfulness, generosity, and deep affection for your family, creating memories we will forever cherish.

Your legacy reaches far beyond memory alone. It lives on in the countless lives you touched, the values you imparted, and the love you so freely shared.

Rest peacefully, Grandma. Your love will forever remain in our hearts, and your memory will continue to inspire and guide us.

May the Almighty grant your gentle soul eternal rest and perfect peace. Amen.

*Tribute to Our Beloved
PST DR
MRS OLUFUNKE
ADEGBEYENI.


She was more than a pastor to us. She was a mother, a teacher, a counselor, and a light. Her life was a living sermon.

*1. A Life of Influence and Prestige*
Pastor OLUFUNKE Adegbeyeni carried herself with grace, wisdom, and dignity. Wherever she went, she represented Christ with excellence. Her words had weight because her life backed them up. She was prestigious not because of titles, but because of character — humility, integrity, and a heart that served everyone,

*2. A Voice That Fed Us*
Her teachings were deep yet simple. She had a way of breaking the Word that made you feel like God was speaking directly to you. In her sermons, prayers, and even casual conversations, she pointed us back to Jesus. Many of us found our purpose, our healing, and our faith because she refused to give up on us.

*3. A Heart for People*
She loved without conditions. She visited the sick, prayed for the broken, celebrated with the joyful, and mourned with those who mourned. London may have been where the Lord called her home, but her impact spans nations. The seeds she planted will keep growing.

*4. A Legacy That Remains*
Though we grieve her absence, we do not grieve as those who have no hope. We know we will see her again. And until that day, we will honor her by living out what she taught us: love God, love people, and walk in excellence.

PST DR
MRS OLUFUNKE ADEGBEYENI
thank you for your sacrifices. Thank you for the late-night prayers, the wise counsel, the correction in love, and the encouragement. You ran your race well.
“_Well done, good and faithful servant._” Matthew 25:23

Rest in peace, our mother in the faith. Your legacy lives on in us.

With love,

Mummy Adegbeyeni gave herself completely to serving God and humanity up to the last squeeze. She was ready to give anything and everything to the work of God including supervising schools across the ibeju-lekki waters and conducting Church Without Walls at Lafiaji/ Inside life along Calabar Coaster Road at almost 80years of age.

Her type is very rare and not common at all. Her love for families and people generally is equally unparalleled.

We will miss her greatly.

Please, rest peacefully in the bossom of Father Abraham 🙏.

A Tribute to a woman of God and a mother

You were a woman of God, a mother by calling and a disciplinarian per excellence
Your motherly counsels, words of wisdom, and many other virtues would be greatly missed.
Meeting you was indeed a great blessing to me and my family. You loved us to a point that you adopted our last born as your grandson not to talk about your hospitality because no one can outsmart your giving grace, if anyone gives you a bottle of water, you will respond with a full carton. I remembered your 79th birthday, you were ready to share every gift with us, what a wonderful mummy you were. If you discovered a natural gift in anyone, you will not rest until you see the gift becomes a blessing to the fellow, not to talk of seeing somebody going through a challenge, it is super sure that the challenge will become a testimony for the person, you were a lover of good things, you supported us when we started the building of our parish in a meaningful way, you never discriminate, you were never proud, you were simply encouraging people that crossed your path to do the right thing. Words will fail me to explain how we met and the relationship we had.
Good night mummy
Continue to rest after your fulfilled work on earth.

From: Pastor Kayode and Sister Funmilayo as you fondly called us.

TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED MUMMY
Mummy, writing this tribute has not come easy, because somehow, it was difficult to accept that you have truly passed unto glory. We preferred believing that you were still alive, holding and cherishing fond memories of your living existence in our minds. But, what shall we say, our Father in Heaven has called our Mummy home, and we bow to His sovereign will and wisdom. We never one day thought you will go soon despite your age, because you remained energetic and vibrant even going out to the church without walls alternate Sundays whenever you were around. But, it has pleased God to number you among the saints triumphant. We will forever remain grateful to God for giving you as a precious gift to the body of Christ and the world. Your life truly was a great challenge even to the younger generation - your fervent love for God and his people, your dedication and commitment to the work of the Kingdom – in praying, in preaching, in teaching, and in going to the field, in mentoring the younger generation, your philanthropy and hospitality, even to the last moment you were a pillar in the church without walls outreach of TMC to Lafiaji, off Ajah-Epe Expressway. Your contribution to the women ministry in form of empowerment funds and your regular teachings on marriage that made us to believe that there is no marriage that cannot work by the grace of God.
We thank God for the gift of our Mummy, and for the privilege of been being blessed through the ministry and divine graces he endowed her with. Mummy, was indeed a gallant and faithful soldier of the Lord, she has fought a good fight, she has kept the faith, she has finished her race and has gone to receive her crown of glory among other crowns.
You always said, you loved it whenever you saw us (my wife and I) in anko as was our habit when putting traditional attire, so it was not surprising that your last gift to us included money to buy a material to sew anko. We were looking forward to celebrating your 80th birthday upon your return from the United Kingdom, but God knows best.
Please, nobody should be surprised that we kept saying Mummy every now and then in our tribute, because truly and indeed she was really our MUMMY. She knew, and we know. She was indeed one of those who made our time as parish and later area pastors at the RCCG, The Masters Court (TMC) fulfilling. We will never forget her spirit of service, her love and care for our family, her wise counsels, encouragements, her humility, integrity, her consistency and dependability, etc.
We were looking forward to inviting you to our new Zonal Parish - the Paradise City, so we can be blessed by the ministry and giftings that God has endowed you with, again we submit to the will of God.
Oh, Mummy we can’t forget your special love for our son - Marvelous that even makes his siblings jealous. Till now we are yet to break the news of your passing into glory to him, because he is still in school and it will be so devastating for him.
Mummy, how we wished we had just another 5 years with you, but God loves you more.
Indeed, blessed is the memory of the righteous. We, and our children will greatly miss you, Mummy!
Rest on Mummy in the presence of our Lord and King Jesus Christ until the resurrection morning when we meet again in God’s glorious presence to part no more.
Rest in Peace Mummy.

Tribute to Pastor (Mrs) Dr. Olufunke Adegbeyeni

Our condolences to Prof, the children and whole family, Holy Spirit the Comforter will comfort you all, in Jesus name.

There are across the river from Badore, Lekki some villages that included Oko-Abe and Itomu (predominantly Muslim). RCCG, LP 24 discovered that those villages had many school age children who were not attending school because the dug out canoe that was to ferry them across became increasingly dangerous. After RCCG, LP 24 put up a block of school building and staff accommodations, it was principally Mummy Adegbeyeni who midwifed that school at Ako-Abe, and the sister secondary schools at the next Itomu village into living, qualitative, dynamic Christian schools. Staffing was critical to attainment of the vision. She delivered on that many times over - crossing rivers countless times. She poured herself into this lives shaping schools, despite the fact that she had her own school on the mainland, and raising another family's own school elsewhere on the Lekki axis. Those villages can NEVER be the same again.

At another time at the Province, we had a stranded parish without a Pastor. I knew if anybody was going to pull that parish through it's enormous challenges,she was that person.

Though we didn't completely agree on her posting at the beginning but she was so fully committed to God and her service to God that she went ahead to rescue the parish., Together with Prof, they went and really out performed. I openly canvassed for her to tarry at that parish when she turned 70, if that was her preference.

She was also the kind intermediary with Prof which resulted in the purchase of the 6 plots of land that houses RCCG. The Lord's Cedar, Lekki.

Pastor Mrs Adegbeyeni was that elegant, cultured, articulate, exceedingly God loving lady who was a sweet fragrance that blew across the earth for 80 years, fulfilling her maker's commission on her life. She even showed me in her garden how to use the sequitur on roses for best flowering.

She indeed worked at her Master's work whilst it was day time.

It's indeed a celebration of life for her. E&FOt.

This is still like a dream but one has to face reality that mummy Adegbeyeni has finished her race and gone to a better place. She was a wonderful mentor, full of wisdom and grace, a Christian indeed. It was a wonderful opportunity to have known her. I looked up to her and learnt a lot from her. She was such a gift that God blessed us with. She will be surely missed.
May the God of all comfort, comfort us all at this time and especially Prof and the children.
Sleep well mummy till the resurrection morning.

We are all still in shock, even now, two full months after her peaceful and quiet exit from the stage.

*"The world is indeed a stage!"* as
William Shakespeare said in
*As You Like It.*

✝️ We met online for prayers as usual on *Team Esther* on the last Saturday in March 2026, barely a week after her 80th birthday.
▪︎ She prepared the focus and outlines as usual.
▪︎ We worshipped and prayed together as usual. There were no visible indications that our Sister was already at the river bank, waiting to cross over.
▪︎ No wonder we're still in shock trying to process this new development and how to live with it.

✝️ Many of us couldn't hold our emotions in check as we paid our Tributes to a devoted friend, mentor, and partner; a true friend who lifts you up when no one has noticed you've fallen.

✝️ Our late Sister made life better by simply being in it.
▪︎ Those of us in her lines of influence testify.
▪︎ She was a Giver, giving all and expecting nothing in return. Those of us in the Breakfast Fellowship will never forget her loads of gifts whenever we met: bags, clothes, cooked food in takeaway packs after we had eaten to the full, special gari Ijebu, liquid detergent etc, etc.
▪︎ It was her delight just to give and put smiles on the faces of others.
▪︎ No wonder she had so much sunshine in her life!
▪︎ Her life is proof that: *Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others can never lack it in their own.*

✝️ Mummy Adegbeyeni was multi-talented.
▪︎ She used it all for God and for humanity, physically and spiritually.
▪︎ She was multifunctional: Boss, Colleague, Companion, Counsellor, Employer, Friend, Mentor, Mother, Pastor and Wife: moving effectively, perfectly and smoothly through the various roles, challenging and motivating those around her all at once.

✝️ She faced life's storms with calm, confidence, and poise. She counselled with compassion, empathy , and an unusual depth of understanding.
▪︎ Those homes that God used her to stabilize are the visible testimonies.

✝️ She was a fantastic Team Player in her family (both nuclear and extended) in the church, at work, and in the various communities she related with.

✝️ Our Sister was a lover of God, totally sold out to Jesus!
▪︎ She dealt righteously with big and small, being considerate and humane, forebearing and forgiving, generous in showing the love of God to all and sundry.

✝️ She started *The Breakfast Fellowship* in the early 1990s as an intercessory group for our families and the *Team Esther* in early 2020 primarily to intercede for Nigeria!
*‼️What a Visioner!*

✝️ She was a truly wonderful woman, radiating charm, confidence, happiness, and love.
▪︎ She was indeed the Woman of Proverbs 31:10ff.
v. 20 - *she stretches out her hands to the needy*
v.28 - we, her mentees (in the combined groups of Breakfast Fellowship and Team Esther), *arise and call her blessed!*

✝️ Even in death, our Sister, Olufunke Adegbeyeni looms Larger than Life!
▪︎ Though dead, yet she speaks. (Hebrews 11:4).
▪︎ Her life of Faith and her Legacy of Love will continue to direct, motivate, teach ,and resonate through generations yet unborn.

✝️ Rest on, beloved Daughter of Zion!
▪︎ Heaven has gained a Star!

✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️

We the Wanogho family were deeply saddened to hear that Pastor Dr Mrs Olufunke Adegbeyeni had passed away. The Adegbeyeni are like a second family to us. So it's with a heavy heart that I write this tribute. She was not only a mother to the Adegbeyeni but a mother to many. We have always admired her energy and elegance and will always remember how she always spoke with wisdom and politeness. I can still remember the first time she met our daughter at age of 3. She sat on an armchair in their house in London and carried my our daughter on her lap for quite sime considerable time whilst entertaining her a way that our daughter did not want to leave her presence. Pastor Dr Mrs Olufunke Adegbeyeni was an inspiration and a true Icon to us all

Hmm… I am still quite dazed by this loss.
I first met our dear mummy, Dr. Mrs. Funke Adegbeyeni, in 1983, shortly after my youth service. At the time, her younger brother, Jimmy Olaborede, was my fiancé, and I travelled all the way from Benue State to Lagos for a pre-wedding visit at her home. I can never forget how warmly she received me. She showered me with such generous material gifts and genuine kindness. Although the wedding did not eventually hold, that encounter left an enduring impression on my heart.
Our paths crossed again years later, in 1993, when I began working at Lagos State Polytechnic. She had just retired from the institution, but through the influence of remarkable women of God, Dr. Mrs. Ronke Adeseye, Pastor Mrs. Funke Ibigbami, and Mrs. Joyce Kio, who deeply loved and nurtured younger women, I was introduced to the Sisters’ Fellowship. To my pleasant surprise, Dr. Mrs. Adegbeyeni was present at my very first meeting. You can imagine my joy!
It was always a delight whenever it was her turn to host. Her hospitality was exceptional. Everything about those gatherings was warm, beautiful, and truly delightful.
It is indeed painful that Mama has left us so soon. Her kindness, generosity, and loving spirit will never be forgotten.
You have run the race, you have fought the battle, you have won a crown.
Adieu! Adieu!! Adieu!!!

_A Tribute to Our Late Sister, Dr. Mrs. Olufunke Adegbeyeni_

Today, we speak of our eldest sister, fondly called Aunty Funke. As the first child of Late Chief Claudius Akinfolarin Olaborede's family,her life was a quiet force that shaped all of us.

Dr. Mrs. Adegbeyeni was strong-willed in the best sense of the word. Once she believed something was right, she stood firm, not with noise or argument, but with the steady resolve of someone who lived by principle. That strength gave the rest of us courage to stand too.

She was upright and highly disciplined. Integrity wasn’t something she talked about—it was how she lived. Her word was her bond, and her daily habits reflected a life ordered by purpose and respect for herself and others. In a world that often cuts corners, she chose the harder but honest path every time.

Kindness and generosity flowed from her naturally. She gave without keeping score—of her time, her resources, her advice, and her heart. Many of us can trace moments where her support changed the direction of our lives, often without her ever mentioning it again.

Above all, she was a Christian model. Her faith was not confined to Sundays. It showed in her patience, her forgiveness, her humility, and the way she carried herself when life was heavy. She lived her belief, and in doing so, pointed many of us back to what matters.

As the first child, she set a standard we all measured ourselves against. Even now, her discipline, generosity, and unwavering faith continue to guide us.

We grieve her absence deeply. But we are better people for having been loved and led by her. May her memory be a blessing, and may we honor her by living with the same strength, kindness, and uprightness she showed us every day.

Rest well, big sister. Your legacy lives in us.

*TRIBUTE TO MY BOSS, MY FRIEND, MY CONFIDANT, MY PRAYER PARTNER AND MY SISTER!*

Pastor, Dr. (Mrs) Olufunke Adegbeyeni.

She walked into the small office in Isolo, looking elegant and pretty. I was Ag. Coordinator of the Department. She came from Yaba College of Technology to assume the office of pioneer Head of the Department of Social Studies (or something) Lagos State College of Science and Technology, Isolo, (LACOSTECH) which later became Lagos State Polytechnic, (LASPOTECH) Isolo, and is now Lagos State University of Science and Technology, (LASUSTECH) Ikorodu.

So, Mrs. Funke Adegbeyeni walked into my life in 1980 as my Boss. I welcomed her warmly, gave a brief and took her on a tour of the Campus. Within the next few hours of our interaction, I knew I'd found a Friend and a Role Model. I admired her calm disposition, her charming personality and her poise.

In my boss, I saw a smooth and thorough Administrator; strict but gentle and humane. She taught me to be responsible by giving me responsibilities far above my office and qualifications. I learnt quiet wisdom on how to relate with people at different levels. She was brilliant,
ingenious and resourceful. She was part of the Management Team that got LACOSTECH transformed to LASPOTECH with five Schools. (Faculties) She soon became the Director (Dean) of the School of Management and Business Studies (SMBS) the largest faculty to date.
When consultations and talks began on moving the Polytechnic to the permanent site in Ikorodu, she gave wise counsel that SMBS should be the last to move so that that the necessary equipment and infra structure for Engineering, Environmental Studies and the Sciences would be procured by the government first and foremost. SMBS, she opined, needed only chalk and board. Unknowingly, (in her sagacity) she preserved Isolo Campus to date. It would have disappeared like Ikosi Campus. What awesome clairvoyance! What wisdom!

In my friend, I found a compassionate listener, a sagacious counsellor, a compulsive giver, a selfless and unconditional lover.
I saw an achiever; a determined go-getter, undaunted by circumstances or detractors. She determined and got her PhD! She determined to be an author and she wrote, encouraged and mentored writers. She determined to start a school and she ended up founding so many.

I saw a wonderful daughter of Zion, totally sold out to Jesus! Sharing confidences and praying together came to us naturally. We held hands in agreement, committing our lives, our homes, our children, our dreams, hopes and aspirations into God's able hands. We prayed *Laurels Academy* into existence; prayed for staff and students, prayed for the spirit of dedication, excellence and loyalty. God comforted and increased our faith with quick answers to prayers! It was amazing, baffling and humbling all at the same time.

In her, I found the senior sister that I (maybe unconsciously) longed for. I followed her like a devotee: to Unilag to pursue her admission to her PhD, went with her to see her supervisor on many occasions, went with her to Akowonjo and virtually everywhere.
And so she did for me. What touched me most was her following me to the morgue at General Hospital, Ikeja (now LASUTH) to pick up my Mum's body for burial in December 2003. She had gone with me to Ijebu 10 years earlier to bury my Dad. She gave her all into relationships.

When she decided to go on voluntary retirement in the early '90s, she told me she wouldn't want her retirement to sever the relationship with me and our other sisters in the system. Not only that, the altar fires we lit up must not be quenched. So she started the *Breakfast Sisters Fellowship* Our focus was to pray regularly and reach out to the needy. Mission was her passion. About 3 or 4 years ago, she had a burden to build a separate altar to intercede solely for Nigeria and she started *Team Esther* meeting every last Saturday of the month. We didn't miss any Saturday since inception. We met on Saturday, 28th March, 2026 and she kept insisting on seeing my face. I can still hear her voice: Mrs. Adeseye, mi o r'oju yin! She wanted to see the face for the last time! None of us suspected it at the time! She didn't look sick! Her voice didn't show any signs of weakness!

She addressed me as Mrs. Adeseye from day one of our meeting till she breathed her last. All attempts to get her to call me 'Ronke failed. She was humility and modesty personified!

Another wonder is how my sister passed on to glory! Several, uncountable times in our sharing moments, we both expressed the desire to SLEEP and SLIP quickly and quietly into eternity, landing gently at the feet of Jesus! I was pleasantly amazed when the children reported her departure! My sister was a woman of faith to the end! Halleeelluuuyah!

... *Let me die the death of the righteous, and my end be like his.*
Numbers 23:10

Rest on, sweet Sister, in your Saviour 's Arms!
You have lived well, making every moment count!
I've lost my Boss, my Friend and Sister! My loss however, is heaven's gain! That's my comfort.

Pastor Dr. Mrs. Olufunke Adegbeyeni God’s Vessel of Honour Has Entered Eternal Rest

The news of your transition to glory came as a deep shock to me. Just a few weeks before your departure, you marked your 80th birthday on March 20. I had been looking forward to receiving an invitation to celebrate that remarkable milestone with you. I sent you a birthday message, which you promptly and warmly acknowledged. I was still basking in the joy and anticipation of celebrating with you when the news of your passing reached me.

You were a wonderful sister and a cherished friend. I have known you for over 25 years, from the time you began worshipping at RCCG Dominion Sanctuary, Acme Road, Ikeja-Ogba. I deeply treasured our fellowship and friendship, especially as fellow educators and members of the Elders’ Choir.

Your life was truly exemplary. You served God with your substance, your time, and unwavering dedication. Your zeal and passion for rural mission work were exceptional. You poured yourself out, tirelessly visiting and planting churches in remote villages as well as in urban centers.

As an educator and a proprietor of schools, you made a profound and lasting impact on countless lives. Your humility was remarkable—you related graciously even with those younger than you. Your generosity knew no bounds; you gave sacrificially to individuals and to the work of God.

You were a woman of faith and prayer, a caring wife, a loving mother, and a devoted grandmother. You passed on peacefully, leaving behind a powerful testimony captured in 2 Timothy 4:7:“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

My family and I will surely miss you. You have gone ahead to rest until that glorious resurrection morning when we shall meet again at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Goodnight, my dear friend and sister. Rest on in perfect peace.

You were an inspiration to me personally. The way you were able to bring us all up. I thank God for your life and I know you are now in the presence of our gracious Lord. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

In our relationship of over 40 years, Sister Adegbeyeni wore many hats. She was a colleague, an adviser, a mentor and a true friend, and we shared a fulfilling Christian fellowship. She was an exemplary woman of God- steadfast, prayerful and full of compassion. She was generous to a fault.
I am deeply grateful for the years we shared, for the love She gave, and for the example she set.
Rest in peace Sis. You will be deeply missed.

The news was too shocking. That feels almost unbelievable. It’s still like a dream. Yes, you were 80, but I can boldly say it’s too soon, sooner than I could ever imagine.
You made so much impact on everyone that crossed your path. Retired from ministry, but still continue in the service of God.
This parting is too sudden, but God knows better. We missed you greatly as an individual, as a family and Church of God.
But we are comforted that you are in the bosom of our Lord. Rest on. Great soldier of God. You remain in my heart.

Mummy, you didn’t give any hint that you were leaving. Your passing into glory came as a great shock. We were looking forward to celebrating your 80th birthday when you return.
But you decided to go to our heavenly home from the UK. We will really miss your free grace and anointing of God upon your life, your words of wisdom and life of impact in life and in the Kingdom.
We are comforted because we know you have gone to be with our Father in heaven. At the fullness of time we will meet to part no more.
Rest in peace until we meet again in heaven.

TRIBUTE TO PASTOR DR. MRS. OLUFUNKE ADEGBEYENI

In Support of Our Patron, Prof. Emmanuel Adegbeyeni

With heavy hearts, we of the Idanre Highlanders Club join our Patron, Prof. Adegbeyeni, to mourn the transition to glory of his beloved wife, Pastor Dr. Mrs. Olufunke Adegbeyeni.

Mama was more than a wife and mother she was a shepherd, a scholar, and a servant-leader whose life preached louder than words.

As Pastor and Doctor, she ministered to both body and soul, combining medical expertise with godly compassion. Many found healing, counsel, and hope through her hands and her prayers.

To our Patron, she was a pillar of strength and wisdom through the years. Behind every stride Prof. Adegbeyeni made for Idanre and for humanity, Mama stood praying, supporting, and Inspiring. Her grace, humility, and quiet sacrifice made their home a haven and her impact a blessing to countless lives.

The Idanre Highlanders Club has lost a matriarch. Though she held no official title in the Club, her influence was felt in the calm counsel she gave our Patron, and in the values of service and excellence she embodied.

We do not mourn as those without hope, for we know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Mama has fought a good fight, finished her course, and kept the faith. Her crown awaits her.

Prof. Sir, we stand with you in this season of grief. May the God of all comfort uphold you, the children, and the entire family. May the Holy Spirit strengthen you daily, and may the memories of Mama's love and laughter bring you peace.

Sleep well, Pastor Dr. Mrs. Olufunke Adegbeyeni. Your works follow you. Your legacy lives on.

On behalf of the President, Executives, and entire members of Idanre Highlanders Club.

My dear Ma, a friend and sister indeed – ever caring and concerned about humanity, beautiful in and out and loving to the end even if not seeing regularly.
You have indeed run a good race and there awaits for you a crown of glory with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ whom you loved so very much and not ashamed to declare so! RIP!!!
