Ife and I were old schoolmates and this was so hard to swallow. I hadn’t spoken to her in a long time but I had seen her growing her new plant on Instagram before she passed. I hope and pray that she and her family and close friends know she was loved and will be endlessly remembered. We laughed and fought in choir together. I’ll remember her laughing ❤️

I never personally met you. All I ever heard were stories of your beautiful life from Ope. She constantly spoke about you as she was my roomie, and every time I still wanted to hear more because i already loved you. She would talk about all the adventures she shared with you and I could tell what an amazing human you were. You were a wonderful light, shining so bright, you couldn't be hidden! Jehovah called you home for a reason we don't know, and we can not question Him. But all we know, is you are resting in perfect peace. Rest on angel. ❤

Ife, we lost contact in recent times but I was always interested in your posts, especially when you started posting more frequently, recently. However, in ss3 you were my roommate and eventual friend. You showed me the true meaning of friendship specifically during that period by showing up for me, and I’ll never forget the sacrifice of love that you made on my behalf. I’m so sorry that your life was cut short unexpectedly, but I take solace in the fact that you are resting in the Lord. You are at peace. You are in a place where sorrow and tears are not allowed. Where death is no more. I love you and I pray that God comforts your family. We’ll meet again at the feet of Jesus❤️

Thank you for the Impact you had on our lives, thank you for always being there for your friends, my sister. Death is never the end, we will see you again till then we will keep the memories made together in our hearts and keep you alive within us, till we meet again, Rest well Ife

Ifeoluwa dear,
The memories of your gentle disposition and sweet smiles will always be with us. We love you but Jesus loves you most. Rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Gone from our sight, but never from hearts.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I wish you healing and peace.

I hope you feel surrounded by much love.

We are so sorry for your loss.

We are thinking of you during these difficult times.

May my condolences bring you comfort and may my prayers ease the pain of this loss.




Word can't express how saddened we are to hear of your loss.
May the memory of (insert name) bring you comfort and peace. Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort, strength. Rest in peace with the Lord.

Hey Ife. Been a while and honestly it's hard to hear you're gone. I know that God took His angel back and you're resting soundly. We'll miss you and hold on to the good times, love.
Rest in peace.

Though Never meet you one on one but Your phone communication and WhatApps described you, even at that , she is So RESPECTIVE in writing and phone communication. Ifeoluwa, I wish that ,all our voices could call you back to Mummy and Daddy.
Rest on the bosom of our Lord Jesus... and Almighty God comfort us all.

Dear Ife,
Although I never got to meet you, your cousin, and my sisterfriend, Joan, shared so much of your intelligence, your beauty, and loved you deep. Though you are no longer with us, the stories from your family, friends, and the many lives you touched reflects the depth of your life, though the length was cut short. Your impact was full. May your soul continue to rest in perfect peace with the Lord. x
Oyin A.

I would always remember you for your beautiful and warm smile. Rest well with the Lord Ife. Praying for comfort for your family and friends at this deeply hurtful time.

This is definitely a tough pill to swallow, you were always filled with joy and laughter. Rest in perfect peace Ife ❤️

You were just a visiting angel !! You accomplished so much in 23 years than most in a lifetime . One of the things that will keep most people who know you hanging in there , is the fact that God remains good and is wisdom personified ; what is in this world anyway ?

We are all just so earth-focussed often and so the fact that you are no longer here would hurt so bad . Rest on in Papar’s bosom . I pray strength for your siblings , mum & dad and family members .

It’s comforting to know you are doing what you love to do, worshiping God .

Bro. Ola and the entire family it is my sincere prayer that God will wrap His loving arms around each of you and give you a peace that surpasses ALL understanding. In times like this He is the only one that can keep you in His Peace. What a beautiful young woman who accomplished so much in such a short time....May memories one day bring you a smile. 

Ife,
Hearing about your passing was heartbreaking. We really had only become closer over the past 3 years and our relationship was one I was looking forward to building even further, which makes this even harder to come to terms with. Your mere presence in Maryland for the holidays over the last few years made me look forward to those breaks so much more. You dealt so graciously with my constant jesting and your kindness was on display every time.
Despite how tragic this is, I try to find solace in the fact that we did get to spend more time together over the past few years and will all be re-united one day in a much better place.


Till we meet again…..

Really, i trusted God for a miracle, we all did. i hoped so much that all of these would be a real bad dream that we'll all laugh and give thanks to God about .
God however had better plans. It hurts ,but God's counsel still stands. I pray for strength for us all to bear your loss as heaven gained back its sweet soul. Rest on IfeOluwa.

'My Aunty Ife' as we called you since that was the name our daughter gave you. Words fail me, I know you are in a better place but it hurts.

Your love for children was so pure, and they loved you back wholeheartedly. I remember laughing about how all the kids in church would have to be in your bridal train as they would all want to be with Aunty Ife. You will be missed and I pray that God gives us all especially your parents and siblings the strength and fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. Thanks for loving Dami, thanks for being a pillar to the family, thanks for the love you shared. Adieu little Sis.

Meeting one - one for the first time, I was fill with happiness and Joy, seeing a youth that is ready to work in the children department, you did the work diligently,
I was deeply fill your absence,
We luv you , God luv you most
You used all you can to luv all the children with all your heart, buying sweet for them most time
I remember the last children day in the church, how you lead the little one in song with a beautiful smile,
Only We know it is for a short time, I could not tell the little one you are no longer available, because we only told them you going for master degree in USA, but God Know the best
We find solemn in God
Rest on sister, till we meet on resurrection day
I luv you sistet

Ife became an older sister to me in the few months that we grew closer. From cooking in Bluefield, to buying makeup with Anu and decorating the Christmas tree for Aunty, these are moments that I choose to remember and cherish even during this difficult period.

While it's hard and painful to see you go, I trust and believe that you are now at peace, resting with our Father in Heaven.

Rest easy Ife and till we meet again❤️

Dear lil sister Ife,

Anty Ife as we fondly called you, we love you but your Lord loves you more and we take solace that you are resting in His arms.

Words fail us but we hope on. Rest on and well in the Lord's bossom.

Maranatha

Uuhmm my heart bleeds, really loss for word. Why you have to go now I dont understand. If you can see us all, we are pained and still living in shock of this sudden passage. God rest your soul

I pray you may be strengthened and comforted as you process and navigate life's challenging twists and turns. May memories of Ifeoluwa Adeleye eventually evolve from pain to peace by Our God in the name of Jesus Christ. 

Kwame, Yvonne & Inshera

This broke my heart. I’m still in shock and unable to process the news that you’re gone. I hope you’re resting well Ife ❤️
I will always fondly remember you as one of the most cheerful roommates I ever had back at CU, and the little jokes we used to make as young teenagers.
Rest in perfect peace Ife, ❤️

This really hit hard! May God grant all of us comfort. You are loved ❤
Rest in Peace sweet girl

Looking at all your pictures, all I can think about is what a beautiful smile you had and what a beautiful soul you were. I had the privilege of meeting you again a few years back at Trinity during your sisters graduation. We exchanged pleasantries but that was it. Your passing away was not one to expect, but it is my prayer and hope that you are resting with the Father where you belong.
Rest well Ife

My sweet girl, this continues to be a hard blow, but I trust that you are resting with our Father. I can’t remember any interaction with you that didn’t include a smile, a big laugh or a hug. Thank you for impacting all our lives the way you did. Love you forever Ife!❤️

Ifeoluwa, your name says it all. You were an embodiment of love as wonderfully and awesomely demonstrated by our Savior, Master and Lord. It is no surprise that God has chosen to bring you to Himself because Our Lord died for you and loves you more than we can ever love you. That is why God deserves to have the final say concerning your life.
  I am reminded that it is not how long but how well you lived your life. For the wonderful and awesome manner with which you lived your life; I blessed God for all what you achieved in a short life span, I have not been able to achieve as much in my 67years. Ife, I am proud of you, your achievements in life, lifestyle and the worthy life you lived. I had planned to attend your graduation from University of Dartmouth next year but God knows best. I couldn't fathom that I will taken pictures at your funeral when I have been eagerly planning and looking forward to taking pictures at your wedding; but God Knows best. WHO ARE WE TO BLAME OR QUESTION GOD FOR LOVING YOU SO MUCH AND FOR YOUR EXIT. GOD IS IFE(LOVE), THAT IS WHY WE WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH.
   You have impacted our lives so much that we have assumed that you live a long life because how you loved everyone you came in contact with. You have changed our lives with your love, caring and infectious smiles. You have left the world a better and more beautiful place than you met it. For years and ages to come, your footprints on the horizon of life and your life will inspire us to be better human beings than our capabilites. The fragrance of your short but meaningful life will remind us of the care and love you effortlessly displayed towards all mankind.
  Ife, you were the epitome of love, you have lived a good life. We are better in our human interactions because you demonstrated love towards all so effectively and efficiently. You have taught me more about love in all my 67years than any other person. Ife ❤️❣️❤️ your love for God and fellow human beings will see us through these tough times. You will ever remain evergreen in minds, hearts and lives. Sleep on in the Lord's bosom till meet to part no more. We love you more in death than in life. You have lived a great and impressionable life. Rest in Perfect Peace in the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen

Rest easy sweet Girl ️

This is a bitter one to swallow. Rest in perfect peace Ife❤️

Ife you were such an amazing person. Your wide beautiful smile and cute laugh. I remember our time in high school and the amazing memories we had. I’m sad that you had to be taken away so early, i remember messaging you about your recent videos you posted and wish i said more. But i rest in knowledge knowing you are in the arms of our creator and are at peace.
Rest well beautiful
You will be missed❤️

My Ife, as i fondly called you. I can’t believe i’m writing this now, we were supposed to travel and experience life together. I’m grateful for our intentional friendship, even if we were miles away from each other, the bond never left. Thankful for the catch-up calls, voice notes ( that’s what i hold on to now). I’m very grateful we got to talk almost everyday during the Christmas break and my birthday. I love you so much and glad we ended each call with that. I’m grateful to God for your amazing life well lived. I’ll miss your laughter, gist, our long catch-up calls and the random check-ups.

It’s been tough! I’m not going to lie. ❤️

Rest well my Ife, till we meet again.
I love you so much ❤️❤️

Dear Ife,

I was so shocked when I saw you have gone to a better place. I have been asking myself why this happened but only God knows. Serving with you in communion unit was a great privilege. You were a nice and warm person to be around with. Talking about swimming, chem stress and all. Even though we were not so close but everyone always loved being around you. I always looked forward to your Instagram stories because of how happy you were, your cooking and how kind you are to others.

Condolences to the family. I pray that God comforts the family.

Rest on Ife. You will be deeply missed by all.

IFEOLUWA, your passing came as a shock to all of us in TRICOL. The pain your departure caused your family and loved one can not be quantified.
Your memory in our hearts is sweet and lovely. You were a daughter any parent will desire.
You were gentle, caring, and brilliant and I especially loved the way you dotted over your youngest sister.
I enjoyed the times I spent with you as your teacher, you were a delight in our class.
Ifeoluwa, we don't know why you departed so soon but when we see God, we will understand.
May God comfort your parents and loved ones.
Sleep well until the resurrection morning my darling.

Ife!
Service unit member, coursemate, and namesake. We were never close, but you were always so sweet. You’d alwayss call me ‘Chem baby,’ ask me what’s up, how I’m doing, and encourage me that Chem would not be the end of me. Thank you, Ife.
Everyone you touched in one way or the other misses you. We’re comforted by the fact that you’re in heaven, and that we’ll see you at home❤️

Thank you, Ife

My heart reach out to you and Leke at this difficult time over the loss of your beloved daughter. We prayed, we fasted and make a vow to God but we lost our angel to the other side. Heaven gained her but we are in pains. What can we do but to pray to God to give us the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. I wish you, Leke and her siblings emotional stability to pull through this difficult time. May Lord keep you and protect your family now and forever more. You will always be in our hearts. We love and appreciate your family. Shalom.

Ifeoluwa Adeleye,

Words cannot describe how hurtful your exit is. I remember meeting you for the first time in 100 level Omega Semester when you came to see your friend, who was my roommate. You introduced yourself with a very warm smile and then we figured out that we were not only course mates but we were also going to be church members. I felt calm knowing that I had Ife because I was going to be new to the church.

Ife, thank you so much for bringing me into the children’s ministry, especially at a time that I needed it. Your love for the children was so genuine and sweet - you always called them “my babies”. You would always ask me “what new activity can the children do to make church interesting for them?” How would I prepare for the next children’s day presentation without talking to you and asking for your ideas? Even after you traveled, you kept telling me “how are my babies? I wish I can do a video call with them when you get to church but time difference is the issue”. The entire children’s ministry and the children will miss you dearly!

The semester I had Ife as my floor mate was the semester I had my best GPA. I always thought I wasn’t an all nighter but Ife proved me wrong. She would wake me up by 12am and call me to her room so that I won’t sleep. I remember you putting your alarm on at 10 minutes interval for over the space of 1 hour so that we don’t oversleep and we get to finish studying before exams. You were such a go-getter.

Ife, my hype woman and my Korean drama buddy. You encouraged me on my natural hair journey and also to start driving. You were always trying your hands on different food recipes and hair recipes. You would bring cakes, most especially chocolate cakes and gingerbread to me in church so that I could taste it and then you will put me through your recipe.

There is so much I would remember you for - our deep conversations about life and the future, rantings, advice and gist, your smile and cute frames. I am so sad that the future wasn’t what anyone expected but I am comforted that you are in a better place.

Ifeoluwa, Lover of God, Lover of children and family, I will miss you deeply. Keep resting in the arms of the Father. I love you so much, Ifeoluwa Adeleye.

My sincere condolences to the Adeleyes. May God give you the fortitude to bear this great loss.

Dear Ife,

You'll never read this but I'm writing so that your family and friends like me can have more memories of you, even the ones they weren't present for. Everyone has a shared moment with each one person which they remember the most. The one that comes to mind most often when they recall the other's name. And it's our version of that memory I'll write about.

I was teaching someone how to install and use Mendeley today and I remembered that everything I was teaching them, you taught me first. I remember in 500 level, you letting me on the "new secret" Dr. Babatunde had taught you and made you promise not to show anyone. But you knew I was struggling with references for my project and decided to teach me how to use Mendeley. Of course, you made me swear not to tell anyone that it was you that taught me. Many many times, I've appreciated the fact that Mendeley, which is really not important in the grand scheme of things, has made my life easier. It made me a better student and by extension, you, Ifeoluwa, made my life easier and made me a better student. I've shown many people how to use Mendeley and of course, against your advise, told them, even the ones that didn't know you, that "one of my friends like that, Ife" was the one that taught me everything I'm teaching them.

Someday, again, I'll teach someone again, how to use Mendeley, and I'll not only tell them that they're learning all that Ife taught me, but I'll also use the opportunity to tell them who you were, what you did, and how I knew you. Because the stories are the only thing we have of you now. And your friends and family, we'll never stop telling those stories by God's grace.
I only regret now, that it had been a while since we spoke properly before you passed. But we'll speak again I'm sure.

Rest in the bosom of the lord, Rest well, Ife.

Rest on Ifeoluwa. You will be greatly missed!

Ifeoluwa!!! Ife was my childhood friend, we grew up together in warri, delta state. She was one of the most quiet in our group of church kids. One of the most intelligent and kind people I have ever known. We lost as I moved away after secondary school. I just saw her linkden profile before writing this. Accomplishments after accomplishments, she did more in 23 years than a lot of people will do with their lives.There are many things we will not get to see her do but the things we saw were good. She lived, she was here, and she was a great person! May the lord comfort your family in this time, I know in my heart you rest in his bosom. Take it easy ife From- Ire

Hi Ife,

You truly were a kind and amazing person. Memories of you coming into Communion unit office with a beautiful smile, and giving people warm hugs have refused to leave my mind since I heard the news.

I pray God comforts all your family and friends in this time.
Till we meet again,
Rest easy ❤️

#neverdiegang

My dear Ife,

It’s really so hard for me to type this, thank you for giving yourself to 7 years of solid friendship, being a wonderful friend, roommate, prayer partner and true sister indeed.
Thank you for being a true definition of God’s love.
Thank you for your selflessness and the light you shone everywhere you went.
Thank you for the prayers we had as a group every Friday night and the gift of a m sister.
I am forever grateful for the gift of you Ifeoluwa Tolulope Adeleye.
Keep resting in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ
I love you always ❤️
#neverdiegang #5AliveForever

My dear Ife,

This terrifying news hit hard, still can't wrap my head around it, so funny how few days ago I found some of our swep pictures and I laughed all through while remembering those times, I can't believe you're gone Ife
Thank you so much for always encouraging and telling me how much you loved my worship, You were always a blessing.

We will meet again but till then, Sleep well my dear Ife
WLYBGLYM

I really can't believe you are gone. My heart is so heavy. I barely heard from you since you went to the States for further studies. When you chatted me up and promised to call one of these days, I was overjoyed. I'm still waiting for your call only to hear about your demise. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
You were such a hardworking fellow. I can never forget the support you provided in the successful execution of projects. You were a dependable and able assistant. You were more than a trainee to me. You were selfless, thoughtful and creative. A million tears won't bring you back but you have left an indelible mark in our hearts and we would always remember you for the good things you did.
Rest on Ife, until we meet on the resurrection morning.

Memories from serving together in the University will always stay on
Thank you God for the gift of ife !

Hello Ife,

You brought such a wonderful presence to wherever you were. This breaks my heart more than I could ever express, and I will never forget you. Thank you for everything. We will see again in paradise.


I love you with all my heart, and then more. Rest in peace, God loves and comforts us all.

We will miss you so much.

I will miss you soo much… it was really hard for me to take in but I know you are in a better place… love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Firstly let me just extend my deepest condolences to you Mr and Mrs Adeleye.
May The Lord’s comfort be covering during this time of grief and to everyone else that is grieving. In Jesus name, amen

A light that radiated peace and gentleness wherever she went.
I remember the day you asked me how engineering was in university before you embarked on that part of your journey.
We became friends over time.
A time that will now be embedded in the hearts and minds of everyone you interacted with.
A time that is now done here.
A time that has now begun on the other side of eternity with Jesus, The Father and all His glory.

Ife, the warmth and radiance of your light will be missed. I give God all the glory for allowing our paths to cross.
Till we meet again

A daughter is a wonderful blessing, a treasure from above. She's laughter, warmth, and special charm, She's thoughtfulness and love.
A daughter brings special joy, that comes from deep inside. She fills your heart with pride.
No words can describe the warm memories. Ifeoluwa was our daughter .
My family would miss you dearly, especially my wife. God continue to grant your soul perfect rest and uphold every member of your family. Our condolence, Mr & Mrs Adeleye

Ife,
This one hit me, chai. I have so many questions but I am thankful we got to experience you. Thank you for those instagram messages once in a while, I will miss them. Praying for mum, dad, IBK and Oreofe. We will miss you dearly.
Love you Ife ❤️

Ife, you were a great person, and you never complained when we crowded your room to visit your roommate. Instead, you made your room welcome for all your friends and even strangers like me. Thank you for that. Thank you for being warm and always eager to help. Thank you for your light.
May God comfort your family, friends, and loved ones left behind. You will be missed.

To God be the glory for this. Ifeoluwa, God gave and He decided to call you home. Rest on this amiable gentle soul.
