Wambui (Wabi) Wanjau
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.
Obituary
Wambui Wanjau, fondly known as “Wabi,” was born on November 3, 1974. Wabi was a beautiful and effervescent human inside and out. She was fiercely loving, caring, and devoted to her family – her husband Steve Wanjau Wachira; her sons, Wachira Wanjau and Migui Wanjau; her parents; Samuel Migui and Jose Wanjiku Wachira; and her younger siblings, Kamamia Migui, Njoki Kuria, and the late Muthoni Wachira. Wabi was a profound blessing to her father and mother in-law, George Reuben and Amy Freda Wachira; her sister-in-law Tabbylene (Tabbs) Mukundi, and her brothers-in-law, Bobby Kiama, Jack Ngunyangi, and Joe Munene; as well as her aunties and uncles, her cousins, nieces, and nephews. The list of people who considered her a close friend, confidant, cheerleader, mentor, or aunty is innumerable. She was also a caring pet-momma, a role which deserves mention because as with all things, she gave it her all.
Wabi was a firstborn through and through — bold and independent, not waiting around to ask for permission, and always a step ahead. She led with heart and grace, never missing a beat and never letting those she loved fall behind. She was brilliant, incredibly hard working, courageous, and quick to see possibilities where others saw obstacles. A true go-getter, she never shied away from a challenge or settled for less than what she believed was possible. Wabi had a remarkable gift for spotting opportunity and bringing people and ideas together. She could organize, plan, connect, and mobilize like no one else, turning visions into reality with energy, precision, and a spirit of excellence. When Wabi was involved, things got done — and done well.
Headstrong in the best way, Wabi pursued what she wanted with intention, always with a plan A and a plan B close behind. She could pivot like no one else, calm under pressure, unflappable in chaos, and focused on finding solutions. She had no patience for self-pity; if a problem had a solution, she simply fixed it and kept moving. Pragmatic and wise, she had a rare ability to offer perspective and help others see what truly mattered. When life threw challenges at her and those she loved, she met them head-on. Unwavering. Fearless. As her husband describes her, “One of a kind, and one tough cookie.”
Faith was the quiet center of her strength. As a girl, Wabi was a devoted member of the Girls’ Brigade and active in her youth group at St. Andrew’s Church. It was during a Girls’ Brigade meeting that she gave her life to Christ — and so strong was her influence that her younger sister, Njoki, followed suit; because if she was doing it, it had to be the right thing to do. Her faith ran deep, guiding her choices, anchoring her through life’s storms, and shaping her unwavering hope and kindness. The depth of her joy was rooted in gratitude — in her habit of counting her blessings and her awareness of God’s grace showing up for her in countless forms, including ordinary moments, and often through the people and moments she cherished most.
Vibrant in every sense of the word, Wambui lived life with intention — whether getting dressed for the day, planning a gathering, or showing up for someone who needed her, she did it all with care, style, and preferably, a bright pop of color. She loved a good party, and she loved to dance — really dance — with the kind of joy that drew everyone else onto the floor. Bringing people together and celebrating them was second nature to her, and she had a gift for turning ordinary moments into lasting memories. She seemed to know everyone, yet had a warm, genuine way of making each person in her life feel seen and important — like they were the only one who mattered.
Wabi showed up for people hard. She always made time, attended to what was important to you, and if she saw a need she could meet, she found a way to meet it. Her love was active, intentional, and dependable. When she cared, you felt it and never doubted it.
Her generosity extended far beyond her immediate circle. She showed up fully, with laughter, presence, and heart. To know Wabi was to experience sunshine. Her light continues to shine on in the lives she touched. Every laugh, every dance, every word of encouragement or counsel, every plan executed, and every problem solved in her exquisite style - every part of herself that she so generously shared with us lives on and carries a piece of her with it. She leaves behind a world much more vibrant and colorful; brighter, warmer, and more joyful simply because she was in it — and for all who loved her and who were changed by her, her presence will be so deeply missed, but never forgotten.
As we remember Wabi, we celebrate a life lived fully and generously, and a spirit that will forever remain in our hearts.

Ohmy God, O Forgiver of sins and Dispeller of afflictions! O Thou Who art pardoning and merciful! I raise my suppliant hands to Thee, tearfully beseeching the court of Thy divine Essence to forgive, through Thy mercy and pardon, Thy handmaiden who hath ascended unto the seat of truth. Cause her, O Lord, to be overshadowed by the clouds of Thy bounty and favor, immerse her in the ocean of Thy forgiveness and clemency, and enable her to enter the sanctified abode, Thy heavenly Paradise.
Thou art, verily, the Mighty, the Compassionate, the Generous, the Merciful.

Our Gentle Giant, Wabi.
A Lady of great Beauty, Poise, Elegance and Smarts. When she walked into a space, it's like the light had been switched on.
Any encounter with her was Impactful. It has just occurred to me that our system of counting years may be flawed. To my mind, Wabi lived 130yrs, such was the height, depth and breadth of her life.
Steve and Wabi saw the potential in me as a very young adult and they gave me the opportunity to work with them in Auto Assured.
They entrusted me with great responsibilities but they never let go of my hand the whole time. To date, I still quote some of the words Steve said to me back then.
Wabi was a lioness when it came to her family and I knew that when I became a mother, I wanted to be like her. FIERCE. I am.
Steve, Wachira and Migui: The void cannot be filled. Walk with her memories, till you meet again.
Condolences to the extended family, friends and collegues. Keep her memory alive.

Wabi
I got to know Wabi through Kaari when we started the book club. We thought it would be a book club but she said we call it THE book club, I think we almost patented it! She believed that if we do something, it has to be the best.
And boy did we have lively discussions, often the staff of the restaurant would have to come and tell us to keep our voices low.
Wabi was exuberant, life of the party, very intelligent, courageous, go getter, kind, embracing.....
We decided to do a play, The Christmas Carol. She didn't seem fazed by the huge shortfall we had just days to the event. And we did pull through, we even had a balance from the ticketing, which she helped us identify a school.in Mukuru slums to bless.... Another show of her generosity.
She loved to host not just us but our children. And they loved her house. Because they knew there was unlimited fun and food...
She would call just to find out how you are doing.
She went out of her way to help.when my mama fell ill, I'll never forget that.
I pray for Steve, Wachira and Migwi as they navigate the new normal. I pray for her parents and siblings and all us her friends.
Only God knows why.
Fare thee well Wabi

Wabi was a tornado with endless, boundless energy. One always wondered where she got the time and stamina to do all that she did!
Somehow, she was everywhere at the same time, then she would surprise one with “I watch movies on the weekend.” And one would wonder how she would have the time, over and above all the myriad of commitments she had.
What was most consistent about her was: her incredible work ethic, her fierceness over her family, her clarity, her decisiveness and her resolution to forge ahead, no matter what.
She lived life to the fullest, and lived life on her terms.
Fare thee well.
Eternal rest grant to Wambui O Lord, and let Your light shine upon her. May she rest in eternal peace.

To Aunty Bobo,
A woman who always opened her home to me with open arms. No matter the time or place, if i needed a place to rest my head for the night, she and Uncle Steve always welcomed me. From never failing to ask if I was hungry, to the love we shared for the smoothie she and Wangechi made to the warm hugs and vibrant smile that were accompanied when entering her home, I am beyond grateful for it all. Aunty Bobo, you were everything wonderful and more. The love you showed to me as Migui’s friend will always touch my heart in ways nothing else could. We loved you whole heartedly but our Father in heaven loved you way more.
Forever in our hearts and mind Aunty Bobo❤️🩹.

What a unique gift Wabi was. Making each person feel as though they had a special relationship with her that was all their own. Who does that! To Steve, Wachira and Migui, I am so sorry for your loss. I am here, when you need me, and even when you don't. I am just here. Love you.

Tribute to Wabi
Some people come into your life quietly — no noise, no big entrance — but they leave a mark so deep that even time can’t fade it. Wabi was that kind of person.
We grew up together in Langata Ngei 1, down on Amiani Crescent, where every kid knew every face and laughter carried across the road like background music.
Life wasn’t fancy — just real. Normal estate roads, Matatus at otiende shopping center, evening chats by the gate, and dreams bigger than the sky above us. And right in the middle of all that, was Wabi — full of life, always smiling, always grounding everyone with her calm and her heart.
She had this way of making you feel like everything was going to be okay — even when it clearly wasn’t. Whether you were fighting your stress or just broke and lost, Wabi had a word that could lift you. She wasn’t loud, she wasn’t trying to be seen — but somehow, she was felt by everyone.
We watched each other grow, fall, get back up, and try again. She celebrated your wins like they were hers. When things went south, she never left your corner. That’s the kind of loyalty you don’t find much anymore — the kind that’s real, the kind that sticks through every season.
Even now, when she’s gone, you still feel her presence.
You hear her laughter in the quiet moments, you see her spirit in the faces of those who loved her. Amiani Crescent doesn’t feel the same — but somehow, it still feels like her.
Because Wabi wasn’t just someone from the neighborhood. She was the neighborhood. The love, the warmth, the spirit — that’s her legacy.
So here’s to you, Wabi — our sister, our friend, our light. You may have left this world, but you’ll never leave our hearts.
The Crescent remembers. Langata remembers. We all remember.
Rest in peace, Wabi.
You’ll always be one of Amiani’s Crescent Finest.

I’m saddened by this news 😭 Wabi was a friend and an ally. Back in high school Wabi put my name forward for Entertainment prefect to succeed her and defended her proposal against the formidable Karao..if you know you know😀
We caught up during the schools 90s reunion and had a laugh about it.. but Wabi what you didn’t appreciate that your action many decades ago boosted my self confidence and this has carried me well through the years.
Farewell my friend. May you rest in perfect peace till we meet again🙏🏽

We had fondly spoken about Wabi and Steve the week before.
My memory of Wabi has always and will always be of a the warm smile that was not only on her face but shone in her eyes. My last time to see her was in Yaya having bumped into her ever smiling face.
My deepest and most sincere condolences for the family!

Loving, sweet-natured and radiant — that’s how I would describe Aunty Wabi. From the moment Migui introduced me to her, her kindness was unforgettable. She welcomed me into her home countless times and always made me feel loved and taken care of. My parents never worried when I said I was at Migui’s, because they knew I was in great hands.
I’ll never forget how she would always ask if I had eaten as soon as I walked through her doors. Aunty Wabi had a calming yet radiant presence that made me feel very safe, and a smile that could light up a whole room. She taught me that kindness doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful — and i felt it in everything that she did.
I feel so grateful to have known her and to have been loved by her in all the beautiful ways she showed love. She will always hold a special place in my heart, and I’ll carry her kindness and radiant energy with me forever.
rest in peace aunty wabi 💖

Wabi, you gave so much, and left too soon.
From the thoughtful remedies you shared for my kids’ allergies, to where to find the best children’s books, to helping me choose a name for my son Adam. You always welcomed us so warmly when we visited home and made me look amazing in front of my in-laws. 😊
I’ll miss the chats and your unwavering presence. Gone too soon, and missed dearly.

I met Wabi through my then girlfriend, Kaari. Over 30 years ago. They have been friends ever since.
A fun friend whom you could count on. She could also cook! Memories, nice memories...
These are the people we were looking to spend more time with as we age.
A solemn reminder, that all we have is today.
Poleni sana Steve, Wachira , Migwi and the family. This is a huge loss.
Fare thee well, Wabi, you have left a mark in our hearts….

Today we put to rest, one of a kind.
She lived her thoughts, beliefs, wants, requirements, needs and desires out; what a gal to see, look at, envy, emulate and even imitate.
Wabi was a real time gal, she brought it to fruition; whatever had been discussed and decided on, she did it; diligently and timely and it was beautiful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾something to clap your hands about.
She was worth the reward and recognition, respect and honor; for she was second to none, in decision making, making you understand it all....
A great communicator and committed to her word/work; very efficient and effective (no two Wabis) just that one-Wabi Wanjaú.
Now tell me, who wouldn't miss such a person, such a heart, such a spirit! To God be The glory, great things He has done.
She got the best husband and sons; they got the best her; now and forevermore. It is The LORD's doing, and it's marvelous in our sight! Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!
We didn't expect Wabi to go home now, we see it as too soon but what she has accomplished is more, much more than 51yrs. and we thank God she served us and served with us WELL!
It was a privilege and honor to know you and to be known by you...we regarded you highly; thank you, you are grately appreciated mama, wifey, sis, daughtey, friend, madam boss.
🎶🎼So long farewell, it's time to say goodbye;
The sun has gone, to bed and so must I;
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye; Goodbye!🎵🎼
Love you Wabi👋🏾👋🏾It is well!🙏🏾

Wabi, I am blessed to know you. From the days you connected me to a vegetable vendor in Sagana where I occasionally picked vegetables for you as I picked my supplies for the Nairobi digs. (Wilson always called you Wambi) To the many days we spent hanging out, Karen weather notwithstanding. Your warm home where Wanjau, Wachira and Migui plus our furry friend Dexter welcomed us. To the many times you visited our house and shared in memorable occasions with us. Thank you for touching the lives of your cousins Ella and Hunja in a special way. We shall always miss you. I am sad Hunja will not get to experience your laughter and the joy of being around family in your earthly abode. Our parties won't quite have the same kick. I am grateful that you were not just a relative but a friend.
Rest in peace.
Rest in peace.
October 14, 2025
Your strength, love, and kindness inspired us all. We'll cherish the memories, laughter, and warmth you shared with us. Your legacy lives on in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear Cousin. You will be deeply missed.
October 14, 2025
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Wabi. She was a kind and gracious soul who welcomed our children with warmth and love. Our hearts are especially full of gratitude for the way she always opened her home to my daughter and niece — (Pendo and Elaine) allowing them to spend time with her family, making them feel safe, loved, and part of her own.
May the Holy Spirit comfort the family and giving them peace and courage. Hold on to the beautiful memories you shared and may her soul through the mercies of God rest in eternal and perfect peace. 🙏

Hi Wabi, I am devastated that we didn’t really get to have more time to keep working on our projects. The passed 1 year of working with you, Steve, Wachira and Migui has been so much of a learning and growing experience. You have been a role model and a mentor in many ways that I cannot put in words. Your visionary mindset and constant uplifting energy everyday made things easier for sure. I will dearly miss hearing, talking and discussing ideas and concepts as you showed me how to always think out of the box and see the bigger picture of things. I believe God has his reasons but I surely still have questions for him as to why too soon. Personally, and also together with the team, we will always keep your vision and legacy going. Rest in eternal peace Wabi until the day we shall meet in SPIRITs!

Dear Wabi was a close friend and fellow outlier in The Book Club. Our frienship however commenced in our childhood days as her parents were close friends of my parents. Fast forward to Kenyatta University and there we were reunited and rekindled our friendship. A couple of years after completing our university studies,The Bookclub was born,and I was the only male member of this esteemed assemblage of literary aficionados which included Wabi and four other wonderful ladies. We spent a lot of time together as The Bookclub and I truly thank the Lord for the honour and privilege to have been a part of this special group with Wabi. Her wicked sense of humour and witty repartee were a true joy! Our beloved Wabi, we thank you for allowing us to spend quality time with you in the recent past. You remain in our hearts and minds in the days to come. May your wonderful soul rest in eternal peace in glory until we meet again. In the great works of the Irish Blessing:" May the road rise to meet you,may the wind be always at your back,may the sun shine warm upon your face,may the rains fall soft upon your fields,and until we meet again,may God hold you in the palm of His hand". To Steve,Wachira and Migui,my deepest condolences on the passing of your wonderful wife and mother. May the Lord grant you all the strength and grace that you need during this difficult period, we all loved Wabi,but God loved her more. Fare thee well my dear friend!

I first met Wabi when she and Steve were neighbors of my older brother. Over the years, her friendship extended to my siblings and finally to me. That’s the kind of person that she was, making everyone around her feel seen, cared for and completely at home. She had a sparkle and warmth about her that drew people in and once you were in her circle, it was for keeps.
Wabi loved to laugh and her laughter could fill a room….loud and contagious, you wanted to join in the laughter even when you might not be in on the joke. She gathered a few of us girlfriends into a WhatsApp group aptly named ‘For Laughing’ and that was our sole purpose; whether meeting in-person or online, celebrating life, the “For Laughing” girls lived up to our name.
For all her amazing attributes, I’ll remember and miss her gatherings the most. No one hosted like Wabi. Her home was always full of good food, laughter and love. She made ordinary days special by bringing people together and genuinely caring for those around her.
Wabi, thank you for making space for me at your table. We’ll grieve for now, but your ‘For Laughing’ girls will keep the laughter going, even though sometimes it will be mixed with tears. You'll be missed and always fondly remembered.

My mum was Auntie Jose’s dear friend and bridesmaid, and even after her early demise, the Wachira family remained a stoic presence— steadfast, caring, and full of grace.
I treasure the memories of childhood visits with my family to their home always greeted with the warmth of freshly baked oven delights, tasty food, accompanied by warm and hearty hospitality.
Decades later, Wabi honoured my mum by tactfully and seamlessly weaving a photo tribute from the archives into the program during Auntie Jose’s Wedding anniversary celebration.
We definitely didn't see it coming and the thoughtful gesture touched us deeply we talked about it for days — it was reassuring to know our parents’ memory still lived on and mattered.
When I became a mother, Mum, Wabi, and Njoki checked in often, making my journey so much special and filled with love, even in the absence of my own folks.
Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves at all times,” and this family truly lives that.
There are countless other thoughtful acts of love I may not articulate here that are indelible and that I will always hold dear.
My heartfelt condolences to the Wachira and Wanjau families, and to all who were touched by Wabi’s light.
Her warmth, thoughtfulness, and kindness will never be forgotten.
May God comfort us all in the way only He can.

Today, we gather to remember and celebrate the life of Wambui Wanjau, known affectionately to us as Wabby. She was a bright, funny, and astute woman who touched the lives of many with her intelligence and warmth. I first met Wabby at her wedding via Sally, and from that moment, our friendship blossomed into a close and cherished bond. Wabby had a way of making everyone feel truly listened to, a quality that drew people to her and made her an invaluable confidant and family friend. Wabby's passion for books, ( that KaBook Club of ours was legendary!) education, motherhood, and world politics was infectious. She approached life with a keen intellect and a wicked sense of humor, tackling challenges with a remarkable composure that inspired those around her. Her ability to remain seemingly unbothered by things that would trouble many was a testament to her strength of character. As a successful businesswoman, Wabby exemplified excellence in all she did. But it was her role as a mother that brought her the most pride. She raised her sons with love and ambition, encouraging them to be respectful and loving young men. Wabby beamed with pride when speaking of her son climbing Kilimanjaro or another participating in the Model UN. Wabby's love for her family was evident in everything she did. She was a devoted wife and mother, always making time for those she cared about, even calling friends from afar to maintain those precious connections. Her presence was a gift, offering comfort and wisdom to all who knew her. One of Wabby's greatest lessons was the importance of family and self-care. She showed us that life is precious and that we should cherish every moment. Now I ask "When you are in your fifties, you realise that most things are vanity. What would you do now if you knew you'll be gone next year?" In honour of Wabby's memory, let us strive to see the awe in the mundane, from the dew on a blade of grass to the beauty of a sunset. Let us listen more intently, love more deeply, and live more fully. Wabby's legacy of kindness, intelligence, and unwavering support will continue to inspire us all. Wabby, you were a great mother, wife, and friend. Your impact on our lives is immeasurable, and you will be deeply missed. May your memory be a blessing to us all.

To my fabulous and beautiful friend Wabi. You were such a gift in my life from the day we met in high school. l will never forget the fun we shared in 4th Form when we were both selected to be entertainment prefects! Your true leadership shone right there and I learned a great deal from you.
Even though we only saw each other when I travelled home to Kenya, every time felt like no time had passed…..we would pick up right where we left off. We walked through so many milestones together, marrying at the same time and celebrating each other’s weddings then later sharing the joy and challenges of raising two boys each.
I’m so grateful that I had one last beautiful day with you in January this year when you introduced me properly to Wachira and Migui. It was so lovely to see how much of your wisdom, warmth, and fun spirit you instilled in them. You were always bubbly, kind, fun and the life of every room…..this world truly needs more people like you and I feel so lucky that you shared yourself with me. You have gone way too soon, but we know that you are in a beautiful place Wabi.
I will miss you dearly, but I promise to live with more love, kindness, and joy in your honour. Rest well, my beautiful friend, until we meet again. Sending you tons of hugs.
Pauline “Waluce,” as you so fondly called me. 🥰🙏🏾

Deeply Saddened 💔
I have learned with great shock of the passing of Wambui Wabi Wanjau — my client, friend, and professional acquaintance.
I had the privilege of interacting with her on several occasions, and she was always so respectful, kind, and professional. Her warmth and humility will truly be missed.
May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may God comfort her family and friends during this difficult time. 🙏🕊️

You left too soon!!
Your absence came too sudden.
Vividly I do remember challenges you posed to me, to be better and helped believe that I could even when I doubted myself.
You truly have left a mark thanks for the trust, belief and guidance.
Always with the humour you made it through even on busy, tight scheduled deadlines.
Thanks to have built a legacy of consistency, leadership and support.
You had a special way bring out the best in others- consistently and gently that made all the difference.
To Steve and entire family, this a difficult time, may you find solace, strength and comfort to overcome.
May her memory live on.

A Tribute to Wabi
Wabi — a breath of fresh air,
A spark in every room,
Her laughter and her kindness
Could sweep away the gloom.
Graduating Class of ’97, Kenyatta University's pride,
B.Ed German, class — where paths aligned.
She was popular — but never proud,
Opinionated, warm, and loud.
A friend to many, heart so wide,
A source of help we all relied.
When problems came, she’d light the way,
With wisdom born of brighter days.
I still recall — her gentle hands,
Perming my hair as laughter spanned.
At parties she was joy’s own flame,
Her Fanta glass — her simple claim.
Unmoved by pressure, firm and free,
She danced to her own melody.
Wabi was sharp — her mind a sea,
Of answers, wit, and empathy.
She knew the tailors, hairdressers and fashion too,
She shared her gifts with me and you.
At weddings — she was there in style,
Designs and make-up that made you smile.
At birthdays, she would bring the cheer,
Her thoughtful touch was always near.
She lived her life both full and true,
With love that touched both old and new.
Though gone too soon, her light remains,
In hearts she warmed, it still sustains.
We wish she’d stayed a little more,
To share her laughter as before.
But God has called her home,
Her work on earth complete, well done.
Rest with the angels, dearest friend,
Your story beautiful — without end.
Till Heaven’s gates our souls ascend,
Farewell Wabi , till we meet again.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of “Wabi” Wanjau. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones.
Wabi was more than just a remarkable professional she was an exceptional leader, mentor, and a truly radiant human being. I had the privilege of working under her guidance, and her influence left a lasting impact on my career and outlook.
She led with strength, grace, and purpose always firm in her pursuit of excellence, yet kind, warm, and deeply supportive to those around her. Her vision, energy, and unwavering belief in people’s potential shaped the company’s culture and inspired everyone who worked with her.
Wabi brought out the best in people. She inspired confidence through her clarity, compassion, and boundless enthusiasm. Her mentorship and encouragement extended far beyond the workplace she was a role model and a source of light to many.
Those of us who had the privilege of knowing and working with her will forever carry her lessons and spirit within us. Her legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the teams she built, and the love and excellence she championed in everything she did.
My thoughts and prayers are with Steve, their sons, and the entire Wanjau and Migui families. May you find comfort in knowing that Wabi’s impact was profound, and that her legacy of strength, warmth, and love will never fade.
May her beautiful soul rest in eternal peace.

Tribute to Our Beloved Friend, Wabi
Wabi was more than a classmate — she was a friend to all. We met at Kenyatta University, where she studied Bachelor of Education (German), but her friendships cut across departments and years. To us in Bachelor of Education Home Economics, she was family.
Wabi truly lived life in full colour. She had a special way of bringing people together — inviting us to the “prestigious” third-year parties when we were in first year through her link to Steve Wanjau, and making sure no one ever felt left out. We fondly remember her giving us rides to hangouts outside campus, her ever-generous spirit ensuring everyone was comfortable and happy.
And oh, her love for Fanta Orange! With that bottle in hand, she was always the life of the party — cheerful, warm, and full of laughter, moving from group to group with her big smile and contagious joy.
After campus, Wabi continued to embody love and connection. When she married Steve, she carried all of us along, involving us in the wedding, milestones of her boys — from birthdays to spontaneous gatherings at her home “just because.”
Her hospitality was unmatched. We admired her exquisite cuisines and desserts that always left us both envious and inspired. Whenever we asked, “Wabi, how did you make this?” she would respond with a cheeky smile and her trademark line:
“Bribe me!” 😜
Through the years, she never stopped showing up — visiting us when we had babies, milestone birthdays, or any reason to celebrate. Wabi was that rare friend who turned ordinary moments into beautiful memories.
We honour her generosity, wisdom, and radiant spirit, and we thank God for the time we shared. To Steve, Wachira, and Migui, may you find comfort in knowing how deeply Wabi was loved, and how her light continues to shine through you. May her memory be a blessing and her legacy live on in every heart she touched.
Rest well, dear Wabi. You lived fully, loved deeply, and left a mark none of us will ever forget. 💛

Tribute to the Late Wambui Wanjau
I am deeply saddened by the passing of my former employer, Wambui Wanjau, a remarkable leader, mentor, and inspiration to all who had the privilege of working with her.
Wambui was more than a boss,she was a visionary who led with compassion, integrity, and unwavering commitment. Her dedication, wisdom, and kindness left a lasting mark on everyone she worked with. She nurtured talent, encouraged growth, and treated every person with respect and dignity.
Her legacy lives on through the countless lives she touched, the lessons she imparted, and the values she instilled in us.
I extend our heartfelt condolences to the Wanjau family during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that her memory and influence will forever live on in our hearts and in the work she so passionately championed.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
Fondly remembered and forever appreciated.

Had a random runin with Wabi on. a trip home. Brief but memorable. I spotted her right away in the crowd as she never changed one bit since high school days( She was 2 years behind me). Rest In Power Wabi.
October 11, 2025
When Wabi walked among us, the days felt light—
Her smile could turn the dullest grey bright.
Kindness bloomed wherever she’d tread,
Lifting hearts with the words she said.
She gave more than she ever received,
Loved fully, hoped deeply, and truly believed.
When a beautiful soul sleeps, the earth sighs low,
Petals close softly where her laughter would glow.
No thunder, no storm—just a hush in the air,
A whisper of love that still lingers there.
The stars lean closer, their vigil to keep,
Heaven grows brighter—when a beautiful soul falls asleep.
Rest in peace Wabi

It’s hard to put into words what it feels like to say goodbye to you, Wabi. I met you at my Aunty Kate’s, and from that day, you felt like family. You had this rare gift — the ability to make everyone around you feel seen, heard, and loved. You didn’t just show up in people’s lives; you were present — fully, intentionally, wholeheartedly.
You were a busy girl, but when it came to family and friends, you made time and you were hands-on, you made things move. You had a way of quietly anchoring everyone around you with grace, warmth, and unwavering love.
My prayer is that the Lord will wrap His arms of comfort around Steve, Wash, Migui, and your dear mom and dad, and grant them the peace that ONLY HE can GIVE.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18
Rest well, dear Wabi. You were light, love, and presence — and you will be deeply, deeply missed.

Wabi, you were one of the best hosts I’ve ever known — always so warmly welcoming and full of genuine care. You had such a special way of making everyone feel at home. I’ll never forget how lovingly you took charge during dad’s funeral, organising with your usual grace and kindness.
You were a wonderful example of what true friendship and family mean. Your warmth, generosity, and beautiful spirit will always be remembered.

If you thought being everywhere at the same time is impractical, — clearly, you never met Wabi. In her car, in the office, on her phone, she was always conducting an orchestra.
We never saw her with a diary — not because she forgot, but because her memory was photographic. Nothing escaped her attention – even more so if it involved customers. She was somehow in every meeting, on every email thread, and still managed to know – which customer had a pending claim, who is in hospital, whose car had overstayed in the garage, who was due for leave and which rider was the most efficient to send to the CBD. And on whose desk she forgot her pen!
While the rest of us needed planners, reminders, she will have multiple teams working on multiple projects and she will still be out there running operations, solving crises, doing trainings — all from memory!
And heaven help you if you tried to give her “just good enough” — because in her world, perfection wasn’t a goal, it was the standard setting. If you gave her what exactly she expected, more would come and she will expect greater improvements.
To our ever-present, ever-efficient, ever-demanding-but-always-inspiring director — RIP.

Wambui, for the 13 years that I have known and worked with you, you have been the gold standard of multi-tasking, attention to detail, people management, systematization and all things in between - a real boss babe so when I was told of your passing, it was beyond belief. Shocking and just unreal considering you were super upbeat on Friday when I last saw you.
Over the years, I witnessed you support Steve kabisa and come through for him in every way imaginable - a true ride or die girl. With your wonderful boys Wachira and Migui, I saw a loving, open, nurturing and purposeful mom and I also saw how you looked out for Kamamia.
I know you cared for the INFAMA team dearly and that deep down we really were a source of pride for you.
I love that everything I could say about you, I have heard said by others in their tributes and memories of you.It doesnt surprise me one bit, because you were extraordinary. What a legacy!
So Wambui my wish for you is that you rest in eternal peace because you have been freed from the burdens and cares of this world - huruka uhoro. I know that Jesus will cradle your loved ones especially Steve and your boys through the journey that lies ahead of them.
We accept God's will for we will all cross the Jordan when our time comes. Romans 14:8 says, If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or we die, we belong to the Lord.
Goodbye Wabi. Goodbye.

Wambui witu, I can’t believe that we are here. Your sudden departure has left me feeling so empty and sad. But am reminded that we are in different seasons, yours is now of rest.
The families of the King’aruis and the Wachiras have been close thanks to the early friendship between Mr. Wachira and my late mum Phoebe Wanjiru, having grown up in a little village in Kiawarigi in Nyeri County. I got to know Wabi a little better in mid 2000s when I was working at True Love magazine. She was kind enough to sign up for one ad and later for a whole year helping me meet my sales targets and for that I am forever grateful.
If you want to know someone who loved hard, that’s my dear friend and sister Wabi. She showed up for my family and I when we were going through a difficult mourning period. This year, we had a special celebration for Kagendo my niece and guess who surprised us with fresh butter cookies straight from her oven?
Wabi was a walking encyclopaedia, her vast knowledge on different topics was amazing from auto to health and politics. Add to that the vocabulary, I must confess that there were times when I had to look up the meaning of certain words or idioms mid-conversation.
Wabi you were my yellow pages…the young ones don’t understand. If I needed contacts for someone to fix my phone, do my hair, buy veggies, tow my car when out of town, for this and that I knew you would always come through.
Wabi knew many people and many people knew Wabi. She had a way of bringing people together and was a hostess with the mostess. Her house tastefully decorated and she served from her kitchen, Wangechi remember how I loved tuwings.
Wabi was a social butterfly. I would hear of a book club meeting,
catching up with friends, reunions, weddings, birthday parties, Kalekye’s speaking engagements, hey she was a very busy person.
Am going to miss our long convos, with you driving on Mombasa road from Kya Ng’ombe to joining the bypass. My 254 visits will not be the same, never a dull moment with this jovial and bubbly lady.
We traded stories on caring for our parents. Wabi you served your family with excellence, hosting Christmas lunch, birthdays and wedding anniversaries. You visited your parents at least 4 times in a week, that’s how much I know you loved and cared for them.
Every year without fail, I would receive a new year’s message, birthday wishes, who can forget the Wanjau Christmas card including Dexter and before the year ended an anniversary text.
Steve, you and Wabi worked side by side in the office, I don’t how you guys made it work I guess it’s the love that you had for each other extending to the boardroom, something we don’t see often. Am glad you got to celebrate 25 years together on 18 Dec 2024.
Maitu and uncle, well done on raising a hardworking, loving, loyal and caring human being. May you be comforted and find peace as you journey through this new season.
Njoki and Kamamia, know this, your sister was the best!
My big brother Steve, my dear sons Wach and Migui, separation from a loved one is never easy, hold on to the memories.
Oh Wabi, the gap you have left only God can fill. May your beautiful soul rest in perfect peace till we meet again. Love you heaps!
The families of the King’aruis and the Wachiras have been close thanks to the early friendship between Mr. Wachira and my late mum Phoebe Wanjiru, having grown up in a little village in Kiawarigi in Nyeri County. I got to know Wabi a little better in mid 2000s when I was working at True Love magazine. She was kind enough to sign up for one ad and later for a whole year helping me meet my sales targets and for that I am forever grateful.
If you want to know someone who loved hard, that’s my dear friend and sister Wabi. She showed up for my family and I when we were going through a difficult mourning period. This year, we had a special celebration for Kagendo my niece and guess who surprised us with fresh butter cookies straight from her oven?
Wabi was a walking encyclopaedia, her vast knowledge on different topics was amazing from auto to health and politics. Add to that the vocabulary, I must confess that there were times when I had to look up the meaning of certain words or idioms mid-conversation.
Wabi you were my yellow pages…the young ones don’t understand. If I needed contacts for someone to fix my phone, do my hair, buy veggies, tow my car when out of town, for this and that I knew you would always come through.
Wabi knew many people and many people knew Wabi. She had a way of bringing people together and was a hostess with the mostess. Her house tastefully decorated and she served from her kitchen, Wangechi remember how I loved tuwings.
Wabi was a social butterfly. I would hear of a book club meeting,
catching up with friends, reunions, weddings, birthday parties, Kalekye’s speaking engagements, hey she was a very busy person.

We will miss her laughter,her friendship, and caring heart.we thank God for the time we shared with her.
Rest well dear Wambui,you will forever remain in our hearts,loved,cherished and never forgotten.

When I first met Wabi, I was struck by her unique blend of qualities.A sharp eye for detail, a strong grounded personality and a gentle sweetness that put you at ease. Our connection wasn't one of daily interactions, but every time we spoke, it felt like picking up right where we left off,seamless and familiar.
Just the other day, you sent me a message on WhatsApp. I replied, expecting another of your thoughtful response but now you've left us Wabi.It still feels like a bad dream.
Rest well Wabi. You were truly a sweet soul. May your memory live on in all the lives you touched.May God comfort your entire family.May his grace be sufficient now and the days to come.

Though we didn’t have the chance to know Wabi personally, we are deeply touched by the warmth and kindness of her mother, Auntie Jose. Her generosity and the care she showed our family, especially in guiding us as new parents, spoke volumes about the love and goodness that runs in their family. Our heartfelt condolences to Auntie Jose and the entire family ,may you find comfort and peace in cherished memories of Wabi.

Aunty Wabi, I really did get to experience your love and kindness, especially right after I had my daughter, and had also just lost my mum. You came to see me at my mum in law's house just weeks after I gave birth. I needed that support the most at that time and you were there. May God rest your beautiful soul in eternal peace Aunty Wabi. Love you always and forever 💓 🕊️

There are people who walk into our lives and leave footprints so deep that time itself cannot erase them — Wabi, you are one of those rare souls.
Your heart is pure, your spirit unshakable, and your friendship has been one of life’s greatest blessings. You’ve stood by me with grace, laughter, and love — in both sunshine and storm. You have a way of lighting up every space you enter, of making everyone around you feel seen, valued, and loved.
With you, joy is effortless and comfort is constant. You embody kindness in its truest form — gentle yet strong, humble yet full of wisdom.
You have always been there for me since we met in 2004. I miss you so much Wabs.
Rest in eternal peace my dearest friend . Love you always
