This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Florence Olalonpe Olokun 80 years old , born on October 31, 1940 and passed away on November 4, 2020. We will remember her forever.
The children of Lady Evangelist Florence Olalonpe Olokun would like to announce her transition to glory after a very brief illness. We are shocked, saddened and at a loss for words. We still can’t wrap our minds around the fact that you are gone from us forever. You were always there for us. You listened to us, cried with us, cheered for us, encouraged us, prayed with us and for us and always made yourself available. You were our prayer warrior and were always protective of your children. What a loss!
Words still cannot express our pain at this moment. Your departure from this earth was sudden. We did not see it coming and are still in total shock.
Our beautiful, humble, giving, generous, selfless, inspirational, praying, God fearing and fearless mother. We will never ever forget you. We called you our prayer partner, staying up late to pray for your children into the night. You were always there for your family, no matter what. Always ready to listen and offer advice and a different view point. What are we going to do without you?
Mummy wrote a book about two years ago titled: Woman as created by God. You were working on a sequel. You had a passion to educate and inspire women in the service of God to live up to their God given potential. What an inspiration. We celebrated your drive and energy up to the very end. Indeed, the running theme in our discussions about you was how much energy you had. To the very end, you defied your age and was involved in projects meant for the younger generation.
You are now united with daddy in heaven. I am sure you are both looking down on us and saying: keep fighting the good fight of faith, finish your course, don’t give up, persevere. It will all end in praise.
Beautiful, long suffering mother.
We draw strength from these scriptures:
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints – Psalm 116:15
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning – Psalm 30:5
We invite everyone to pay tribute to our mum on this platform.
Mummy’s funeral will be held at the Vaults and Gardens in Ikoyi, Lagos. It will be a private ceremony. We invite everyone to the Celebration of Praise to be announced at a later date in 2021.
From,
Your Children
