Obituary

With the deepest sense of the absoluteness of eternity and the wonder of life, we announce the passing of a firm daughter of God, Victoria Vivian Adenuwa Bara-Hart (née-Thompson). 

Mother, Grandmother, friend, comforter, counselor and inspiration of too many great souls.

Born on the 6th of November 1944 in Lagos to Robert and Alice Thompson and delivered by the First Lord Mayor of Lagos, Dr. Abubakar Ibiyinka Olorun-Nimbe, she went on to have an impactful life starting with Queens College Lagos, the sister institution of King's College Lagos, where her father also studied. In her career, she worked in Public Relations with Shell, and went on to become Executive Director of GPLAN with the late Mobolaji Ajose-Adeogun. Beyond this, she was involved in maritime business with the late Admiral Godwin Ndubuisi Kanu at an international level and supported several other consultancies, as well as being an avid businesswoman.

Victoria will be remembered as a woman of courage, character, and utmost and abiding love. Her warm and genial nature extended into the care of a great many people in too many ways to count. Her interactions stretched across society at every level from the humblest to the most stellar and she knew no limitations in terms of sacrifice and grace. 

In her later years, challenged by arthritis she showed formidable strength up till the very end. And in her name, the Adenuwa Foundation for Arthritis and Elder Care is created. 

Fly on great spirit, into the heavens made for those like you. 
Love,
Your Son,
Senibo Bara-Hart
For the Family
