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.
She was married to the late Magnus Adango Bara-Hart and was mother to Alabota Lady Mina Sotonye-Banigo, Ms. Ibiere Bara-Hart, Mr. Magnus Adango Bara-Hart Jnr, Mrs. Dabota Ghumdia, Mr. Senibo Bara-Hart, Mr. Jonathan Bara-Hart and Mr. Victor Bara-Hart.
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,
Senibo,
For your family

My bosom friend, Vicky, has gone to be with the Lord. My heart is filled with deep sadness and pain at the loss of such a beautiful and precious gem, taken from us far too soon.
It is still so difficult for me to accept that Vicky is truly gone. The thought that I will no longer see her, hear her voice, share conversations and laughter with her, or simply enjoy the warmth of her presence is incredibly painful. Her passing has left a void in my heart that words cannot adequately describe.
Vicky was a beautiful soul—gentle, kind, loving and caring. She had a warmth about her that made her special to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. I feel truly blessed and grateful to have called her my friend and to have shared so many precious moments and memories with her. Those memories will remain with me always.
Although my heart is heavy, I take comfort in knowing that Vicky has gone to be with the Lord. I pray that her beautiful and gentle soul rests in perfect and eternal peace, and that the good Lord receives her into His loving arms.
May God comfort, strengthen and uphold the family and friends she has left behind. May He give us all the grace to bear this painful loss and the strength to cherish the wonderful memories she gave us.
Vicky, my dear friend, I love you and I will miss you more than words can say. You will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Continue to rest peacefully in the Lord until we meet again.

My dear Aunty Vicky lived a lot, and loved even more.
She was the one Aunty I inherited from my Mum's Queens College Lagos girls. Such a kindred spirit — she was a sister to every single one of her QCOG '59–'63 mates, and they were sisters right back to her. She loved them deeply and genuinely, and they loved her exactly the same way.
When my Mum passed, Aunty Vicky was right there with us. She was carrying her own health struggles at the time, and she still stood with us, and she mourned her friend deeply.
Today, August 23rd, I saw a flyer and learned she'd been gone almost a month. I'm still stunned.
And I'm so sorry. I hadn't reached out in years, not since Mum passed. I keep wishing I could wind the clock back, and knowing I can't is hitting me hard.
It's true what they say — your death comes on an ordinary day. In the middle of unfinished plans, unanswered messages, dreams still in progress. The world keeps turning… but eternity begins.
So don't just live a little. Live for what lasts. Walk with God. Love deeply. Forgive quickly. Speak truth. Choose what honours Christ.
Rest in perfect peace, Aunty Vicky. May the Almighty comfort all of us, and especially her children and grandchildren.

Senior Vicky was very much my senior in QC. I was in Form 1 in 1965 when she was in Upper Sixth class; yet I felt her inner beauty and kindness. Later on we reconnected through other school mates and her son Jonathan when he came to Ecowas.
Snr Vicky was warm, kind and forever smiling. You feel comfortable in her presence.
May the angels welcome your home coming and smile on you as I believe that you have gone with the big, beautiful smile that we all know you with. Rest in eternal peace dear Senior Vicky

I write this with sadness in my heart. I remember our last conversation in May, Never did i fathom that the conversation will be our last. Your last days you were in agony but God knows best. I’m happy that you always saw me as one of your children at the same time i am sad that i now have to speak about you in past tense. May your sweet soul Rest in Peace.
