BIOGRAPHY OF LATE DEACONESS RACHAEL MOJISOLA KOMOLAFE
HER BIRTH
Deaconess Rachael Mojisola Komolafe (nee Olasore) was born on Wednesday April, 25th 1946 to the family of Late Pa Chief Samuel Olasore and late Madam Alice Adebanke Olasore of Olasore’s compound Ifofin Ilesa. Her father fondly called “Baba Iwo” by her children was a renowned, hard working, and successful Osomalo Textile dealer who sojourned in Iwo town for over sixty years until his demise on 7th December, 1992. Her loving mother popularly known as “Mama Olobi” was a diligent and successful Kolanut dealer.
Deaconess Rachael Mojisola Komolafe is the second child of her father and the third child of her mother; she started her early life with her uncle P.A Elijah Oke in Ikoti, Ilesa, Osun state.

Deaconess Rachael Mojisola Komolafe started her elementary education at Methodist primary School, Oke-Ese Ilesa, Osun state where she obtained her Primary School Certificate in 1961, thereafter she proceeded to Atakumosa High school, Osu, in Atakumosa West Local Government Area of Osun State in 1966 and obtained WASCE Certificate in 1969.
In order to justify her position that a girl child can be disciplined, responsible and as well obtain higher education qualifications like her male counterpart, she decided to further her education beyond secondary school education by enrolling at Methodist Teacher Training College Shagamu, Ogun State in 1975 and later obtained Teachers Grade II Certificate in 1976.
Not yet satisfied with her level of education, she applied for admission into Oyo State College of Education Ilesa in 1981, and graduated with Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) in 1984.
Having carved out a niche for herself in teaching profession, her quest to obtain a degree certificate in teaching profession became so intense which made her to apply for admission into Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in 1992. Being married with five children with its attendant responsibilities coupled with other marital obligations, she refused to be deterred by the enormous task and sacrifices involved in obtaining a degree certificate, she continued her education and graduated with B.A (Ed) in English in 1997.
HER MARITAL LIFE
Deaconess Rachael Mojisola Komolafe married her husband Late Pa Ezekiel Oladeji Komolafe in 1972 and the marriage was blessed with five Godly children. In order to avoid distant relationship, she moved with her husband to Shagamu where they spent seven years and they later returned home after the creation of Oyo State from Old Western Region.
Deaconess Rachael Mojisola Komolafe was a family oriented woman who advocates unity both in Olasore and Komolafe familes, the role she played in unifying members of her family that later led to further consolidation of family bonds endeared her to many of the family members. Her unwavering love for the two families that she belonged was exemplary, and was never constrained in accommodating many of her family members even in her matrimonial home.
HER CAREER
Deaconess Rachael Mojisola Komolafe started her teaching career in 1976 at L.A Primary School Amuda Oba Modakeke, Ile-Ife in 1976 and was transfered in 1977. As a classroom teacher, she worked at St. Thomas RCM Primary School Edunabon between 1977 and 1980, she also taught at L.A.TC Demonstration Primary School, Osogbo between 1980 and 1981. In 1981 she took a break from teaching job to further her education.
After completion of her NYSC in 1985, she was employed at Anglican Commercial Grammar School, Osogbo where she served for four years. The relocation of her family to Ilesa town in 1989 after her husband’s retirement from active service necessitated her transfer from Anglican commercial Grammar School in 1989 to United /Anglican Methodist Grammar School, Ilesa where she taught for over a decade. In 2004, she was transferred to Hope Grammar School, Ilesa, and there she served actively for seven years and later retired from active service as the Vice Principal on 31st July, 2011.
HER SOCIAL LIFE
Deaconess Rachael Mojisola Komolafe was an active member of the Old Student Association of Atakumosa High School Osu, Ilesa branch. She was the former National PRO, and former member of Board of Trustees of the Association, she also served as National Executive Committee member of the society.
Generally, her non judgemental attribute and supportive role for every individual either in grief or in mirth was highly exceptional.
HER CHRISTIAN LIFE
Deaconess Rachael Mojisola was born into a Christian home. She was nurtured and brought up with Christian values. Before she married, she was attending Methodist church of Nigeria, the same denomination her father attended at Iwo and became “Baba Ijo” before his demise. After her marriage, as custom demands she left Methodist church of Nigeria and followed her husband to worship at The Apostolic Church of Nigeria. She was a dedicated and committed worker of the church, and until her death, she was a Sunday School and CEU teacher. Her contribution, devotion and passion to the advancement of kingdom of God here on earth are highly remarkable. She was ordained a Deaconess (The highest ordination status for women in the mission) at The Apostolic Church in 2002 under Pastor D.O Ogunkoya.
Our dear Deaconess Rachael Mojisola Komolafe, before death plucked you from our midst on 5th July, 2024, you were a mother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend to many, even though we are saddened by losing you, we take solace in the word of God which says “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” – John 11:25. Keep resting in the bosom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ till we meet to part no more. .

In Loving Memory of Mama Komo
I join families and friends as we honor and celebrate the life and times of Mama Komo as she was fondly called by our nurses and doctors. Her resilience and determination to keep going on was extraordinary. She touched our hearts with her courage, kindness, and grace even in the state of infirmity. It was a privilege to have cared for her. Her strength will forever remain a source of inspiration to us. I also need to commend her daughter who did not spare resources, time and money to support her care. May Mama's soul rest easy and may the family be consoled and comforted.
Adieu Mama Komo!

TRIBUTE TO THE BEST MOTHER
My mummy, My mother, my best friend, my companion, my teacher, my solicitor, my gist partner, the grandma to my children and their playmate. Little did I know you were going to the great beyond on that fateful day, I didn't see it coming, but few days before then you were talking to me in parables but I didn't understand.
The closeness between us was more than that of a child to mother, without helper you sweat alone to made life rosy for us, you showed us love and scolded us when necessary, your care for your children was second to none.
I will never forget the impact you made during my children's birth and how you nurtured them for me. Mummy since your departure, I find it so difficult to stay alone because I felt part of me has gone. Your utmost care atimes got to the wrong side of me because you were still treating me like a baby telling me what I already knew as an adult (over caring woman you were indeed) o ma se o.
The vacuum you left behind can never be filled by anyone, you made my children to be your playmate, they were so free with you that they preferred telling you everything including the ones they were hiding from me and you were there to place their feet on the right path.
Mummy, I will miss you so much, if it is possible to come to this world again, I will choose you to be my mother because you possess every attribute that a good mother should have. You were a woman that love to be at peace with everyone, you were such a prayerful woman and a lover of Christ, you were always ready to solve problems not only for your children but for everyone that came in contact with you. I will surely miss every bit of you, I will miss how you wake me up 6:45 am on Sunday to prepare your breakfast, I will miss your words of encouragement and advice, I will miss your calls to check on me whenever I go to work and many more.
Sleep on my intelligent, courageous, brilliant, strong and hard working mother. Goodnight Mummy until the resurrection day when we shall meet to part no more.

TOO HARD FOR ME TO BID YOU FAREWELL
“Lekan bawo ni, ekaaro, e ku irin ana, ki le fe je laaro yi, abi ki n ba yin pe oni muke elewe?” these are few of the words you used to wake me and my wife up whenever we visited. That you were no more is still a dream I am still battling to wake up from and I am yet to come to terms with the reality that our path will never cross again.
This tribute can’t express the smallest fraction of my love for you because words often cannot capture our deepest emotions and our innermost feelings of affection. Mummy, you were a true definition of mother, you loved, cared, nursed, encouraged, taught, trained and built us. I will never forget your sacrifice in making us what we are today. When your husband died in 1994, you were left with heavy burdens of feeding, clothing, payment of school fees, transport fees, hospital bills etc of five children, you combined the role of a father and a mother and insisted we experience the best life possible with little resources available, you resolved that all your children must have university education which you achieved in your lifetime, your resilience in those challenging period made you not to abandon your dreams, instead you sacrificed your comfort and pride and resorted to trading in fairly used clothes and other petty trading in order to make ends meet, we indeed rode on your sweat to get to where we are today.
Mummy, you were a bridge builder, you left behind a legacy of love and friendship that will forever be cherished. You positively impacted on the lives of people around you, and your ability to connect with others was truly remarkable.
Mama Lekan, as you were fondly called by many, you were a very strong and courageous woman, a hero, a goal getter, a visionary, an optimist, a rare gem, a teacher par excellence, to say that I will miss you is understatement, I will miss your counsel, your prayers, your delicacies especially at Christmas period, your warm reception whenever I visited, your gist that is always full of suspension, those phone calls asking after my family and my well being, those humorous moments we used to have together, those hilarious and infectious laughter of yours whenever we were in relaxation mood as a family will all be missed. I will greatly miss you mummy.
Sleep on my beloved mother, words cannot express how difficult it is for me to bid you farewell, but I find solace in the fact that you feel fulfilled and was very happy at the end of your journey here on earth, I am happy you knew Christ before you passed on and I am comforted by the word of God that says “......Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!”
Bye Mom.

GOOD NIGHT MUM!
It is hard to cope with the fact that you have departed us to glory.
The reality that you have gone to meet your maker forms a rude shock to me.
However, your hardwork, resilient spirit and devotion towards excellence taught us a lot of life lessons.
I remember when daddy died, he left you with five children with your first child at 100 level in the university. You took it upon yourself that all of us will become graduates and God granted your desires.
To add to your income, you became an hustler who after school work hours will be found in the market selling imported fairly used clothing. All for your dream to become fulfilled over your children.
To God be the glory, everyone of us attained your desire.
A teacher per excellence. Your love for impacting knowledge into many lives that cross your path is second to none.
No wonder you also chose to act in the capacity of a Sunday school teacher at the church. I'm sure The Apostolic church Oke iro, Ilesa will not forget you so quickly.
Highly spirited human that you are was exhibited among your peers, families and the church of God.
I am forever grateful for your love and quality training you impacted to me and others.
Rest on at the bosom of Jesus...

From the little time I got to spend with you, I can also boldly attest to it that you lived an exemplary life worthy of emulation. You have always taught us how to be well-behaved and easy going.
You were an embodiment of selflessness, righteousness and many more good characters.
We can only pray to God that he fills the vacuum that you left behind.
You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith. Your righteous crown awaits you.
May your soul continue to rest in peace till we meet to part no more at Jesus's feet.
Good night Grandma.

I don't know where and how to start my condolence message, because it is still a shock to me.
We met at AHSO and we were classmates. We passed out the same time and we lost contact for several years before we met again in about 8 years ago at Ilesa during the 90th birthday celebration of my late mom. Since then, there is no time I visited Ilesa that I will not check her up in her shop at round about in Ilesa.
Moji was very pleasant, loving and friendly. She was a giver. Right from her youth, she loved peace for I can't remember her quarreling or having misunderstanding with others in the school.
I pray God will grant her eternal rest and continue to comfort all she left behind 🙏 in Jesus name amen. 🙏

Mummy Bolorunduro as I used to call her was for a long time the oldest of our father's children. For this the headship of our family, the family of late Samuel Ogundele Olasore fell on her. She did her best to unite the entire family together. She was always present on every family occasion even when it was not convenient for her. She was a mother indeed! I pray that God Almighty will grant her eternal rest in Jesus' Name.

Aunty Moji, my very dear Sister, the news of your sudden departure to eternal life was indeed a great shock to me in particular and the entire Olashore family in general.
You left us without a parting word. Who are we to question the Almighty God? As Christians, we took solace in God with the firm belief that you exited at your own bus stop.
As the head of Late Samuel Ogundele Olashore’s family, a lot of things that needed your inputs, attentions and directions were left unattended to. No doubt your sudden exit created an obvious and noticeable vacuum in the family’s activities.
The last family meeting we had with you was in Ibadan two years ago during the burial of our late father’s last wife, Iya Bode. As the head of the family, you chaired the meeting, and you never told us it was going to be your last meeting with us as you never bid us eternal farewell after the meeting.
It is on our family’s record that the trio of you, Aunty Dupe and Aunty Biola lived to the promise which you all made to our Daddy that none of you will become pregnant while in secondary school which was the fears of most parents, especially fathers who were not willing to send their female children to higher schools, especially to secondary schools. Great thanks to the three of you for keeping to this promise.
You were the first person to wear the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uniform as a National Certificate in Education (NCE) (during your time, NCE graduates were allowed to participate in the NYSC programme then). Our father was indeed very proud of you as he attended your graduation. This was indeed a motivation, inspiration and the needed booster for me to further my education. I personally see you as a role model.
Sister Moji, despite the burden of your own family commitments as a mother with full weight of motherhood loads coupled with very busy schedules of bearing and nurturing children with their attendant pressures on you, you were still able to attain and achieve your lifelong ambition of becoming a university graduate. You combined beauty with brain, hence your determination to succeed in life which worthy of emulation.
You were indeed an embodiment of struggle with the spirit of never die, a practicable and clear demonstration of the saying “when the going gets tough only the tough get going”. You lived an exemplary life which is worthy of emulation.
I will forever remember you and cherish the good memories of our togetherness in the family. I remember that you paid my excursion fee to Kainji Dam during my years in the secondary in Atakumosa High School, Osu Ilesa which incidentally, was the same school you attended in your days.
I remember with nostalgia, the good memories of spending my holidays with you and your family while you were in Ile-Ife and other towns where you worked as a teacher. While in my secondary school, I always look forward to the long vacation periods which gives me the opportunity to be with you and your children. In all honesty, you were indeed very kind, hospitable and homely.
My fervent prayer to the Almighty God is that in His infinite mercies, will give your gentle soul an eternal rest in peace in your eternal home in Jesus mighty name amen.
Adieu my sister. You are indeed, one of the highly respected custodians of our family’s oriki (panegyric).

Stepbrother.
You left us without a parting word. Who are we to question the Almighty God? As Christians, we took solace in God with the firm belief that you exited at your own bus stop.
As the head of Late Samuel Ogundele Olashore’s family, a lot of things that needed your inputs, attentions and directions were left unattended to. No doubt your sudden exit created an obvious and noticeable vacuum in the family’s activities.
The last family meeting we had with you was in Ibadan two years ago during the burial of our late father’s last wife, Iya Bode. As the head of the family, you chaired the meeting, and you never told us it was going to be your last meeting with us as you never bid us eternal farewell after the meeting.
It is on our family’s record that the trio of you, Aunty Dupe and Aunty Biola lived to the promise which you all made to our Daddy that none of you will become pregnant while in secondary school which was the fears of most parents, especially fathers who were not willing to send their female children to higher schools, especially to secondary schools. Great thanks to the three of you for keeping to this promise.
You were the first person to wear the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uniform as a National Certificate in Education (NCE) (during your time, NCE graduates were allowed to participate in the NYSC programme then). Our father was indeed very proud of you as he attended your graduation. This was indeed a motivation, inspiration and the needed booster for me to further my education. I personally see you as a role model.

Grandma, I miss you so much! I miss your stories, especially the ones about how you trained your children whether at home or during your drives. Your passion for education and your values have had a lasting impact on me. I remember when you asked about my discipline and level, and I shared my goals with you. You were so proud and said, 'That's good!' I wish you were here now to see me fulfilling those dreams. I know you would say, 'Glory be to God!' I hope you're smiling down on me, knowing that your legacy lives on through me. Rest in peace, dear Grandma."

TRIBUTE TO MY FRIEND
Mojisola, my friend of many decades, I was shocked when I heard that you were no more. Everything is still like a dream. We had a long conversation in June not knowing that was the last time I would hear your voice. God knows why He took you from us. A mu olododo lo saju ojo ibi.
My dear friend, you were a virtuous woman, a woman of dignity and well respected by all. It will be hard to find a friend like you, who is always there to comfort me and making me feel that everything will be OK.
Ore mi,I will miss you, but my consolation is that you're at the bosom of your Lord Jesus Christ where we shall meet and part no more.
I love you but God loves you more.
Sunre o. O digbose.

Dear Mummy, You came, you saw , you conquered.It was a rude shock to us when we heard of your transition into glory, nobody expected it at this time but God knows the best. You had been a source of inspiration for the entire Olasore family since our father passed on over three decades ago. I could remember you leaving Ilesa for Lagos, for Ibadan just to attend a family meeting with your father's children and your efforts to ensure unity in the family.You will be missed greatly by everyone of us, but we take solace in the fact that you lived a fulfilled life. We loved you but Jesus loves you more. Sun re o Mummy Bolorunduro as I normally called you..Good Night!

**A Tribute to My Beloved Mother-in-Law**
In loving memory of a remarkable woman who touched our lives in so many ways. My mother-in-law was not just a guiding light for her family; she was a source of unwavering love and support. Her kindness and generosity knew no bounds, always putting others before herself.
She embraced me as her own, offering wisdom, encouragement, and a comforting presence in every season of life. Her love for my children was evident in the way she nurtured and cared for them, making each moment spent together a cherished memory. Her laughter filled our home, and her warm hugs provided solace during challenging times.
Though she may no longer be with us, her spirit and the lessons she imparted will forever remain in our hearts. We are grateful for the love she shared and the legacy of compassion she leaves behind. Thank you, dear mother-in-law, for everything. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Komolafe Kemisola!

Mummy, as I fondly called you, I will never forget your way of making everyone around you feel seen, heard and loved. Although you have gone home to rest in the bosom of our dear Lord your legacy lives on through us. You were a great teacher and your lessons will continue to guide us. Today I'm a good cook because you patiently taught me how to cook. The day I made chin chin for my children, they marveled and asked me who taught me and I mentioned you. You were not just a wife, mother, sister and friend to us all but you were a great leader, a pillar of strength, a beacon of hope and a source of inspiration. You have left a gaping hole in our hearts. Su re o mummy wa!

Your departure of this sinful world at the time you did brought tears into my eyes. It has been my expectation that your sojourn here will be a little delayed for us to enjoy your motherly love.
We take solace in the fact that you are already sitting at the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ where we meet you part no more. Adieu, mummy.
