Eternal rest grant unto Uche Ezenwa, Oh Lord.
Let perpetual light shine upon her in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Obituary
A wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunty, cousin, neighbor, and a loyal friend to many.
A pharmacist, dentist, leader, and entrepreneur. A world traveler. A fighter. Now, an angel.
Uchenna Chinenye Ezenwa, 56, of Adazi Enu in Anambra State, Nigeria, died on March 7, 2024. Uche was born in London, England in 1967 and grew up in Onitsha as the first of three daughters, or the Ada, to Amaziah and Esther Ikegwuonu of Nnewi, Nigeria. Uche led and cared for her family from an early age. Throughout her life and no matter the challenge, her family and friends knew they could count on her as the determined problem-solver in their lives.
Uche was the definition of a go-getter. After her graduation from the University of Benin, Nigeria, she returned to the United Kingdom as a dental surgeon and got married to Dr. Osy C. Ezenwa. Thereafter, she migrated to the United States where she obtained a Doctorate in Pharmacy whilst raising three children alongside her husband. She later opened her own independent pharmacy in 2011. She was always on the move, pursuing new goals or staying active as a runner, Crossfit athlete, and Peloton cycler. Uche epitomized the merits of hard work, willpower, and service to others.
Beyond her accolades and accomplishments, Uche deeply loved her family and friends. She dedicated her life to her three children, Chizoba, Chinedu, and Ikenna. Her motto was to never give up and they never did. As they progressed in life, she would look at her children, smile, and proudly say, “I did a good job.” Uchenna’s children were her light and her life’s purpose. After dodging pets for years, Uche grew a soft spot for her furry family members, Loki the dog and Meeko the cat.
From family road trips across Florida to class reunions overseas, she sought every opportunity to build moments of quality time with loved ones. Time with her was always fun; laughter was a given. Uchenna will always be remembered for her resilience and genuine kindness. She loved others well and was loved in turn, more than she knew. We will miss her so much. Uche is survived by her husband, children, mother, and sister.

Tributes
Our sincere condolences,
Nnamdi and Ifeoma Onuorah
And so, dearest Uchenna, fare thee well for love will see you through…🌹💕
I am at a loss for words upon hearing of your passing. I cannot imagine how your sister Anuli is coping with your absence. It still feels unreal, but I know that only God, in His infinite wisdom, knows why He has taken you far too soon. You lived an exemplary life and have left behind a remarkable legacy. May God comfort your mother, sister, husband, children, and extended family during this difficult time as they mourn your passing and continue life on earth without you. May your soul rest in perfect peace.
With love from Ime.
We loved you dearly , and we shall continue to love you. We are utterly shattered by your death. But you never left alone; our prayers accompanied you that day God called you home. Sister Uche, we shall always have fond memories of you. Your love life will continue to guide and illuminate us for we learnt a lot of things from you.Though we part to see no more, you will always be evergreen in our hearts.
Goodbye Nini
From Mr. Chuma and Mrs Onyinye Udeze.
My dear Uche,
It is very hard to believe that you have gone especially as Charles and I hosted you and Osy in celebration of his 60th birthday just in July 23 in the UK ,which was just a small part of your grand plans to give him a memorable birthday an example of the great lengths you go to for your loved ones. I recall our visit to you and Osy in 1996 when you lived in the UK and your great hospitality despite your being so busy with exams, work and a young mother. I was amazed how you managed to do it all. You were a woman of great strength, determination a role model and you will be missed but your memories will live on. Love Angela and Charles Nwachukwu
She is always worrying about what to give you.
May her soul rest in peace.
Amen.

I never had the privilege of meeting you but if my classmate, Anuli, is so devastated by your death, then you were indeed a good and virtuos woman.
Rest in the bosom of the Most High God.
The best big sister to Anuli (Onu, as you called her) and blessed Nkiru. You were always calm and poised. I admired the big sister you were to your sisters and it rubbed on me when I joined Anuli to visit you at Yaba. The news of your passing is still hard to process, but God knows best.
May God comfort your mom, husband, children, sister and all who hurt. Eternal rest, grant Uchenna, Lord we ask. Amen.
We took turns staying by your bedside, never leaving you alone. Your family and friends were there every day, praying, singing, updating you on events and hoping to see you wake up. Your husband and children rearranged their schedules just to be with you everyday, showering you with love, care and attention. Despite our hopes and dreams, God called you home.
I will always cherish our last joyful memory celebrating my birthday in Jamaica in June of 2023. We had a blast participating in all the planned activities, not realizing it would be our final adventure together. That experience will remain etched in my memory forever.
Uche, you were a determined and resilient woman. You fought bravely, achieving what many couldn't. Now, you're with your maker. May your soul rest in peace, dear sister-in-law. Please watch over your family from above.
Farewell, my dear, Je nkeoma.

Words fail me as I write this tribute. Your demise has left a huge vacuum in the lives of many. You were always lively, happy, active and most importantly, caring.
My family and I are glad that we shared amazing moments with you. You treated us with love and care and always made sure you created time to make us have a memorable vacation whenever we visited.
No amount of words can be enough to express how wonderful you are. It is hard to accept that you are no more, but we rejoice in the fact that we know you are with God.
We love you, Aunty.
Your early departure is an irreplaceable loss to me and to everyone who was lucky to have met you.
I count myself very luck to be your first cousin.
Your generous heart has fed some many disadvantaged families.
You were a silent philanthropist..you never blew your trumpet.
I miss you everyone second of each day.
Your legacy will last forever.
Rest in peace my beloved and beautiful Angel.
May your young and kindest soul rest in eternal peace.
I love you so much 💓 💗 💛
Rest in peace, dear Uche. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

I thank God for the gift of such a beautiful, intelligent, kind and considerate friend and sister who asked for nothing in return. I thank God for the good times, the love and laughter especially on 31st December, 2023.
I thank God for the strength and courage she demonstrated throughout her life. I know she is heaven’s gain. May God grant her soul perfect peace and her family the fortitude to come to terms with Uche’s passing to glory. It is well with Osy, Chizoba, Chinedu, Ikenna and the entire family in Jesus name.

I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing. I will truly miss you but I trust that you have found eternal rest and peace with the Lord.
Thank you for being an amazing aunt. In all the times we spent together you have been truly caring and kind to me, and I am very grateful. One of my fondest memories was the Christmas we spent at your house I believe in 2008 during which you made sure everyone was well cared for. Till this day it’s still one of my favourite Christmas seasons ever!
You were also a very fun aunt. You knew how to groove, laugh and to make people laugh. Even seeing all the memorable pictures on this website, it is clear that you had loads of fun and enjoyed your life thoroughly; it warms my heart.
You have left behind an amazing family that will continue your legacy and I am proud that they are my uncle and my cousins. We will all gather together to celebrate your life and share memories of you.
May your soul continue to Rest In Peace in Jesus’ name, Aunty Uche. Amen!
With love,
Derah
From childhood, you have always been the big sister I never had even though you were months younger than you.
The last few months you called me to give me moral support for my own losses you nevertheless for once mentioned you were unwell. You were so full of encouragement and I thank you for that.
My heart goes out to the beautiful family you left behind, Aunty Esther, Anuli,
Osy, Chinedu, Chizoba and Ikenna.
May God give them the strength to bear this painful loss.
Uche, you were a star and you have gone to rest with the Angels.
May your sweet soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.

I never knew that the new year exchange of pleasantries on January first of this year will be the last communication between us.
You will sorely be missed.
We pray for your loving family that you left behind. May God grant them beauty for ashes, turn their sorrow to joy and clothe them with garment of praise in exchange for spirit of heaviness.
Comfort, strength, courage and fortitude will be their portion as they go through this great loss.
May your gentle soul rest in peace in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ till we meet again on the last day to part no more. Ijeoma!!!
It is well with our souls.
Ify & Mike Egbebike


Dr Uche Ezenwa the pain of your exit linger a reminder of the profound loss.
May God strengthen those you left behind and may your journey beyond this lufebe filled with joy and serenity and nay you find external rest through the mercy of God in the embrace of heavenly grace. RIP

Whenever and wherever there was a problem brewing, she handled it before it would surface. She made things seem very easy.
Now, as she joins other Angels of God, may her soul rest in perfect peace.

We met some 15 or so years ago when my family lived in Pembroke Pines. Our sons played soccer together and both Uche and my husband Gbenga talked shop endlessly as pharmacy business owners.
When she got sick, her only goal was to beat the disease and run marathons to raise money for research.
I have never seen anyone as resilient as Uche was. She fought so hard….
She would be in the hospital in the morning to receive treatment and back in her pharmacy in the afternoon.
And when she had to stay in the hospital a few days, she ran her business from there.
There was just no stopping her.
So I assumed she would just keep fighting and defying the odds… but God knows best.
I teased her endlessly about being incapable of adjusting to an empty nest. She loved her children so very much.
I will miss my teasing sessions.
The last 1-2 years, I watched as she intentionally created memories with her family and loved on her Mom.
In August 2023, she returned from the UK after one of those trips with her husband, got off the plane and headed straight to our son’s wedding in Atlanta to celebrate with us.
Jet lagged and all, she took time out to create memories with me too that day. She was healthy and so happy. It made my day to see her dancing….It would be the last time I saw her but what a beautiful memory it will always be.
I see a lot of her in her go-getter children who I am confident will do her proud. Her legacy lives on in them.
My heartfelt condolences to the entire family. Praying for comfort, strength and Peace in the weeks and months ahead.
May the best of Uche’s memories live on in all your hearts.
