Judith Kadizue Okolo

Judith Kadizue Okolo was born into the family of late Peter Chike Okolo and Magdalene Obiageli Okolo of Umuehea, Ibusa, Delta state. She was born in Lagos Nigeria and was the last of 6 children. 

As the baby of the house, Judith was beautiful and cuddly, had a lot of pet names and was adored by all. She was fondly called Idi-ibon, fat face, Didi, and Kadizue by her older siblings and extended family. And to her nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews she was fondly called Achuki, aunty J, and aunty Judith. 

Judith attended Our Lady of Apostles Yaba, Lagos for her primary education. And Holy Child college Ikoyi, Lagos for her secondary education, before proceeding to the University of Lagos, where she earned a Bachelors degree in English. Most of her working career in Nigeria, was spent at TOTALFINAELF, currently called TOTAL E&P Nigeria Ltd after which she moved   to the United Kingdom in 2016. 

Judith was a fun loving,  free spirited woman, who chose to enjoy every beautiful tapestry of life on her terms, even if it meant exploring new territories along tough terrains. She always lived to her convictions but ensuring she had fun along the way.

Judith gave her life to Christ in her mid-life, laboured for God through church work and  loved Jesus immensely. She was a youth group member / sanitation worker in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Revelation Parish, Rumukrushi,PortHarcourt and she was a member of the protocol department at House On The Rock (HOTR), where she worshiped when she started work in Lagos. 

She was a Christian till the Lord called her home. 

Judith was a very loyal friend and her alliances with her close friends span several years. Her friends cut across different social strata, ages, culture, geographies and religion. She was indeed a jolly good fellow and the soul of any party and conversation. She was a friend in-deed. 

Our Achuki lived to the fullest: she was fun loving, adventurous, a fashionista and extremely down to earth. She was very humble and loyal, loved fiercely, was unassuming, selfless and generous to her nephews and nieces, loving family and numerous friends.

As Christians, we are at peace with Judith’s transition to her final  home with the Lord, as we have hope. Albeit she will be sorely missed and will live forever in the hearts of: Ifeanyi & Segun Oyewo, Lauretta Okolo, Anne and John Addeh, Roselyne and Joe Ulaeto, Joe and Susan Okolo, Yemisi and Ade Ajeyori, Ayobami and Dayo Kuyoro, Michael and Pero Oyewo, Odalo and Osato Addeh, Chialuka Okolo, Olisa Okolo, Samuel-Paul Ulaeto, Omene Addeh, Sharon Okolo, her grand nieces and nephews, the entire Okolo and Esedebe families as well as the numerous lives she touched during her short stay here on earth.  

We pray that God will receive her into His bossom and grant her eternal rest with His beloved in Jesus name amen . 

Rest In Peace our beloved sister, aunt, grand aunt, and cousin, as you join Papa and Mama till we all meet to part no more.
