MAMA CHRISTIE ATUNGU TABI, (1933 - 2017) - ForeverMissed.com Online Memorials

Let the memory of MAMA CHRISTIE TABI a.k.a, 'Margaret Thatcher' forever be indelible in our minds as we pledge to uphold and stay her LEGACY. Mama sleep tight besides the Love of your Life - PAPA JAMES TABOT TABI, Sr.

83 years old
Born on August 1, 1933 in EYUMOJOCK SUB-DIVISION, MFUNI, Cameroon
Passed away on June 15, 2017 in FAKO DIVISION, BUEA REGIONAL HOSPITAL, Cameroon

This memorial website was created in memory of our Precious and Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Mother in-law, Grandmother in-law, Aunt, Cousin, Mentor and Bosom Friend - MAMI CHRISTIANA TABI nee ATUNGU TABI a.k.a “Margaret Thatcher”, at the age of 84. The roll was called up yonder with Mama's name first on the list on Thursday June 15 2017 at 1:00pm Cameroon time from complications due to an Ischemic Stroke.

Mama's transitioning to Eternal Glory is a bitter/sweet agony, profound joy and deep melancholy to us in that Mami was a Pillar, a Beacon of Hope, a Lioness, a TRADITIONAL ALCHEMIST, an Icon, an Objective Disciplinarian, a Voice of Wisdom and Support Machine not only to her immediate/filial family, but also to many who had the privilege and luxury to interact with her in any sphere of life. Her transition, though, irreplaceable is profound joy to us in that she drifted away to her Creator a couple of weeks after going through excruciating pain and suffering, but deep melancholy in that we all have lost an irreplaceable icon - an entity of her ilk and kind. We shall truly and sorely miss her.

In spite of this mishap, we earnestly give thanks to the the Eternal Rock of Ages for granting us the opportunity to spend some quality time with her – memories which shall forever remain indelible in our minds. The Iron Lady has flown in ecstasy to Her Father's Kingdom to meet the Love of Her Life and Soulmate, Papa JAMES TABOT TABI who, preceded her to prepare a place for her 38years ago. She is done with her services on earth and had the singular pleasure to see and share priceless moments with three generations of her descendants. Mama is survived by 7 out of 12 children, 26 out of 27 Grandchildren and 10 Great Grandchildren. Beyond reasonable doubts, she sure deserves to finally REST IN PEACE PROFOUND, because and above all SHE DIED IN THE LORD.

As we continue to celebrate the Iron Lady's life, it is our ardent plea that the Great Man in Battle, the Great I AM grants her a befitting resting place in the Land over yonder, on the other side of the Bridge from whose bound no traveler returns, for the repose of her GENTLE SOUL till we meet again to part no more.

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angel, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord". Romans 8:38-39

Mami Atungu, my grandmother who was also my sister. It would be normal for me to be mad at your departure because there will be no one to occupy those two positions in my life at the same time. But I am glad you have gone to meet God. He alone knows the type of crown you will get for being such a blessing to us. We love you. Bisong-Atabe Ojong Obenesaw

Grand Ma words cannot express the vacuum you have left. You were a Library. Much in store for us. I didn't have the opportunity to exploit the numerous information and wisdom you are going with. Well what can I say? It was God's wish that you depart from us at this time. I still remember your group glin club even though I was just a lil kid then, I remember each time you and your sister my grandmother used to go and dance monikim that attracted my love for this prestigious dance till date. Death they say is inevitable. I thank God that He blessed us to have you till 84 years. May God Almighty receive and keep you in His Heavenly kingdom. Adieu Grandma.

"The love of a grandma is UNIQUE"
God must have given us grandmothers to lighten up our lives, to make our lives complete, to make us well rounded and better human beings.Grandma, u played a big part in the lives of all the people around you and u were a solution to every problem. Mama ATUNGU, you have ran a good race and fought a good fight. May your soul rest in perfect peace.

Ma christie, dead is inevitable, You are gone but u live in the lives of those u have touched. As we celebrate u, I leave these dedicated words to your memorial ,
You are not just a normal person in the lives of those u have touched.
You are the reason why they still love and survive,
From infancy, you sad and watched them as they grow to adulthood,
You thought them how to read and write, You were there to guide them all the way, ready to help every single day.
You bought them vegetables, fruits and bread.
When they were sick,you stayed up late by their beds and felt their pains more than they did,
You knew their worries and was ever ready to feed in and make a solution, you stood by them when it was about to end.
In the worst times,you were their best friend, You knew their little secrets and always have the best advise as a mother.
YOU HAVE BEEN AND WOULD ALWAYS BE A WONDERFUL MOTHER.
REST IN THE BOSOM OF THE LORD.
WE LOVE YOU AND FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.

Your type was rare because you are a blessing to all of us. Your departure will be a great vacuum to our lifes. We loved you but God loved you most. Adieu MAMI ATUNGU

Thank you for all the lives you touched. We thank God for the fulfilled life He gave you here on earth. The time has come for your exit. All I can say is fare thee well, nekor nereh nereh. Sleep tight!

Mama Christy, Nye MaAgbor as I usually referred to you; where are you now? We will never see you nor hear you. But one thing is certain that you are in the best place. Iron Lady, you have done it all. I admired and loved your disciplinary skills. I saw first hand a woman who will not be intimidated by teenagers. A woman whose rules and boundaries cannot be broken by children. A woman who will not mix her words when it comes to letting her children know where they belong. A woman who in-spite of the hardship she faces, puts the education of her children first. NYE MaAgbor, I can go on and on. You have finished your work on earth which is why your father has asked you to return. Yes we do miss you but we know you are now in a better place where there's no more pain or suffering. A city where we all will have to visit at some point in time. Most importantly, your darling husband is now smiling and ready to re-kindle the love you had missed for decades. Farewell mama. May your soul rest in bosom of our Lord.

Grand Ma,Big Mami the names I Fondly call you.Most of our discussion were mostly on video calls and when we met,you always told me lots of stories about the Manyu tradition and you added another word into my vocabulary "ngoreh neck".I turned and asked you the meaning ,with your beautiful smile you told me "white man woman"I remember visiting you in the hospital,you always smile back at me and kept on asking that I should be given tea to drink.That goes to show hospitable you have always been....Oooh I wish you could stay with us a little longer.Am most certain you are in heaven watching over us and smiling at us here on earth.Till we meet to path no more ...Adieu Grand Ma

Mama, since I knew you, you had been a calm, soft spoken and jovial mother. It is gradually dawning on me that you have left this world to be with your love, the Lord Jesus Christ, where there is no pain and sorrow but unspeakable joy, everlasting peace, pure and holy love. Even though I miss you, I am happy for you because without a doubt, you are fused in divinity. I will forever love you.

Your Son

My heart bleeds knowing you are no more. Your voice will no longer be heard and it hurts. As you transcend to eternal rest, mami you will always be remembered. You were a perfect example of a mother, wife, sister, and daughter in our eyes. You carried out each responsibility with love and dedication. The moment we crossed paths, you were willing to educate my thirsty faculties. My mother loved You so much. This reunion with her is bitter sweet. Bitter for us who are grieving, and sweet to finally reunite with your loved ones. Mami, your journey here on earth was fruitful and fulfilled. RIP

Mami Christie is the last of those ladies we called 'Mamfe Thick Madams' who were the movers and shakers of social live in Mamfe Town when my generation was growing up. At 83, she lived a fulfilled life and deserves to go rest. Mami, say hello to your husband, Pa Nurse Tabi and his good friend, Mechanic Bright Arrey-Mbi. Tell them we too are on our way to join them when we will live to part no more. Farewell.

July 15, 2017

Atungu Njui , I just can't believe you are gone. It's not so soo, but I did not have nearly enough of you and your wisdom, talk less of your calm Reposing eyes which I kept staring into up to your last days. I still remember your strength, and how you showed it even in your last fight. I will never forget the few words we exchanged these last days. Fare thee well, my wife, your third husband : EKPOMBANG LEEVAN TABOT TABI

Have a most deserved rest my name sake, as you called me. I still remember your pepper soup, the best ever, that you always offered this young Grammar School Mamfe student, in those days, as she trotted along Main Street from school, pass your off-license - you would call! Mother to many!! Many loving memories you have left behind and a befitting legacy. Adieu Mama!

July 3, 2017

ATUNGU MARIBA, ATUNGU THE GIRL, IRON LADY, NNSAN, NNLABA-AKAT, JACK OF ALL TRADES AND MISTRESS OF ALL, THE ONE THAT IS CALLED 'MAMI TABI' BY ALL AND SUNDRY!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAMA, the lyrics of this song by your Husband's most cherished artist - Jim Reeves - definitely crossed your mind before you took your last breath:

"Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me"

Your exit is very pernicious to us in that it is HUGE and IRREPLACEABLE; it replicates a BEAUTIFUL pair of GIGANTIC SHOES that none of us can fit in. But our greatest consolation is that you DIED IN THE LORD after leading us to see HIS LIGHT and embrace HIS WORD. So sleep tight, Mami Atungu in company of Daddy, Sister Magda, Papa Joe, Akpanang the Boy, Linda Chubi Cheka, Manow, your darling wife and daughter Sister Rebecca and the rest of the family yonder until we meet to part no more.......................
