Sidonie Kenfack Ndumu
5th February 1973 – 10th December 2015
Sidonie Kenfack Ndumu was born on the 5th of February 1973 in Douala in the Littoral province of Cameroon. The second daughter of Mr Tetejeu Gaston and Mrs Marie Magni Tetejeu, she started primary and pre-school at Copongo, a suburb of Douala. She later moved to Lycee Bilingue de Bonaberi Douala and Lycee de Bafousssam where she obtained a Baccalaureate in Science. With her diploma in her pocket, she enrolled in the University of Douala, where she studied Natural Sciences. She left the University of Douala for Cyprus where she embarked on a new adventure, studying Hospitality Management.
On completion of her studies in Cyprus, she moved to Siena (Italy) in 1999 where she met her husband and started a family. In 2005 she was blessed with the arrival of a son Abongwa Wilson Tetejeu Ndumu. In 2008 the family moved to London (UK). Her desire to serve and take care of the sick and vulnerable made her pursue and obtain a BSc (Hons) degree in Adult Nursing in 2014. Sidonie put her academic credentials to good use in the professional world by working with the NHS as a registered nurse at King George Hospital (Romford UK) in the Stroke and Rehabilitation unit.
A kind hearted gentle lady and a very God fearing individual, Sidonie also had a mission of propagating the word of the lord which she carried out diligently through her church and subsequently on television with a weekly program “Passons a Table”.
She was admired and appreciated at work and in her community by all those who knew her. She always had the right words and would have said the following in these challenging moments:
“Be strong and have faith in God,
He is always in control,
Glory to God
Hallelujah”.
Sidonie is survived by her husband Henry Asanji Ndumu and their 11 year old son Wilson Abongwa Tetejeu Ndumu. She also leaves behind her beloved parents, six sisters (Yvonne, Delphine, Rebecca, Susan, Marvelle, Pellagie and Mimi) a brother she affectionately called Paps, many relatives and friends.
