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)

Dear Beloved Children of Our Esteemed Proprietress,

With hearts filled with deep sorrow and love, we extend our most heartfelt condolences to you on the passing of your dearly beloved mother, Late Dr. (Mrs.) Adegbeyeni. The news of her departure came as a profound shock to us, and we share deeply in your grief during this painful time.

Your mother was not only a remarkable woman but a rare gem whose kindness, wisdom, strength, and compassion touched countless lives. To us at Laurels Foundation, she was more than a proprietress—she was a mother, a mentor, a guiding light, and an inspiration. Her unwavering dedication to education and her genuine love for children created a legacy that will continue to shine for generations to come.

We can only imagine the depth of your loss. Please find comfort in knowing that she lived an exemplary life filled with purpose, honour, and service to humanity. The values she instilled, the dreams she nurtured, and the lives she transformed stand as a testament to her greatness. Her memory will forever remain alive in our hearts and within the walls of the institution she so passionately built.

As you navigate this difficult period, we pray that God Almighty grants you strength, comfort, and peace. May He uphold you, fill your hearts with courage, and surround you with His unfailing love. May you find solace in the beautiful legacy your mother left behind and take pride in the extraordinary woman she was.

Please accept our deepest sympathy and unwavering support. You are continually in our thoughts and prayers.

With love and profound condolences,

I am deeply saddened to hear of Mrs Adegbeyeni's passing. It was a privilege to know and care for her as her routine Dr in London for over a decade. She was always so charming and full of grace, and will be remembered with great warmth.

To paraphrase my favorite Persian poet Omar Khayyam.

Those who are full of grace and refinement shone like candles among their companions. They could not escape the dark night, They told their story, and then returned to rest.

Please accept my sincere condolences during this difficult time.
