Mum your love, care and goodwill knew no bounds. You became an Angel to us even before I could read and write. You have engraved your legacy in time and posterity will forever remember your invaluable contribution to our lives and to mankind.
Your words of encouragement and constant follow up on my daily progress has been very impactful and has brought about alot of changes in my life. Simple words like “Nuopo, how are you doing today”, “keep the flag flying”, “stay focus” has gone along way to make a positive change in decisions i have made over the years.
Many decisions I made in life would always be vetted and resonate with a question.. is Mummy Odigie going to be happy if she hears about it ??
I miss you more than you know but i am happy because I know you are amongst Angel in heaven right now...
Please continue to keep watch over us and the many lives you touched, encouraged supported, and loved while on earth. I wish we could spend more time together with you but God knows best.  Rest in Perfect Peace Mum

Dear mummy

You were very pleasant and warm. You made sure everyone who stepped into your house felt at home.
We are deeply saddened at your passing but as people of faith, we are consoled because you are now a star shinning bright in Heaven.
May God rest your soul and grant you eternal rest and may perpétual light continue to shine on you.
Dear Kike, you are all in our prayers. May God console daddy and all of you.

May you be among the angels in heaven. Kike spoke so eloquently and emotionally about you. You were a darling mother not just to your biological children but to many who came across you. You have done your part in life's bramble forest, you have transcended to the most High, where angels flourish. Rest in peace, mama.

TRIBUTE TO MRS MOSUN ODIGIE.    
  
" To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born and a time to die..." Eccl 1-2a.     

Mosun, if death were to be a physical being, you would have fought it to a standstill. But no, death is a debt everyone owes, there was no choice for you but to succumb to it.  You were a woman of substance who faced life with diligence. You held the highest position in the medical field as an administrator and retired meritoriously. You were once President of the 'Ladies' wing' of Shell Club Port Harcourt, a post you held with diligence.       

You were firm in your dealings. May the Lord give your beloved husband, children and grandchildren the grace to fill the vacuum you have left.      

Sleep on and good night.             

Mrs Cecilia Onerhime    
On behalf of ' past presidents of Ladies wing' Shell Club Port Harcourt.

Tribute to very dear Sister Mosun Odigie
Our paths crossed 42years ago. An amazing , caring, protective, gracious friend through all the years.
How I prayed for your full recovery from your illness and looked forward to dancing with you to the alter in thanksgiving to God. It broke my heart to lose you but I am consoled knowing that you are now with the saints in heaven giving endless praise to God whom you loved so much.
You are now fully united with the Blessed Trinity and I rejoice in this truth. Enjoy your well deserved rest my beautiful , elegant , loving Big Sis. Love you and miss you so much already.
May God comfort our dear Brother Godfrey and your awesome children. May He reward them for all the care they showered on you. May the precious memories keep them joyful at this time.
Sleep well my darling Sis till we meet at Jesus’s feet. Amen.

Dear Dr. Godfrey Odigie,

     CONDOLENCE MESSAGE

On behalf of the Anisi Family, I write with heartfelt sympathy to commiserate with you and the entire family. It is certain the transition of your wife, Mosun to eternity at this time, has created a vacuum very difficult to fill. I therefore urge you and the entire family to take solace and be consoled in the fact that she lived an accomplished life. She was a model wife, an amiable mother and grandmother.

I pray that the good Lord will give you and your entire family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Once again, accept our heartfelt sympathy.

S.k. Anisi
For Anisi family

on behalf of Jackie and Jean-Claude BROU

Condoléances

A Mother is so precious. She is the bond tying the family together and the foundation of our own personal construction.
We wish to express our deepest condolences and our profound compassion to the entire family, and particularly to Kiki. May your faith be your comfort and may Mrs. ODIGIE rest in God’s eternal peace.

On behalf of Mrs Oseigbu

I write this tribute with sadness because I did not know she was ill and her passing came as a shock to me. Mrs m. Odigie was my boss in university of port Harcourt teaching hospital (administrator section).

We met in 1982 when she joined UPTH from Benin she was more like a sister to me because I speak her language (yoruba). She was an administrator who rose to the peak of her career. She will surely be missed on a personal level. May her soul rest in perfect peace. While we continue to pray that God will console her family.

On behalf of Mr. Julius Omokhapue (Son to Mummy Mosun*)

I have known mummy Mosun Odigie since 1974 @ UBTH Benin, B/C. I was in the Engineering Dept. while Mummy was in Administration.

I was sent to carry out some electrical work in her house @ Ekenwan near the Stadium, Benin City.

After the work, mummy gave me food to eat and drop me off in my house at Okhoro Road B/C.
She also gave me some tuber of yams & money.
That was how my life started to get brighter by day through mummy Odigie.
She made me to know her husband Daddy G. Odigie & more officers in UBTH.

Mummy Mosun Odigie always advised me to read more and that if I must work, then I must read. So, I started further studies with continuous Education centre Benin City.

Mummy took me as her son so, I took her as my mummy & my mentor. She did for me what my biological parents could not do for me. She was always there for me.

When I got married, mummy opened her box & gave my wife plenty cloths, shoes & hand bags.

Mummy Mosun odigie was always there for me in any area of my needs.
When I told her that I needed a job.
She promised me that she would give me a feed back the following week.

We started the journey in Oct.1986, behold, I started work in Shell 22nd Dec 1986 to the glory of God that is where I worked for 29 years.

When Nigeria was sanctioned & there were no cars in the country, and I needed to buy a car, I went to mummy Mosun,
and she gave me a note to SCOA motors to buy a car from SCOA … my first car.

When my children were of age to start secondary school, mummy gave me her car & a note to UDSS
to secure admission for my son.

Mummy also directed me to FGC Rumuokoro for the admission & three of my children were admitted in same day @ FGC.

She also directed me to FGGC Abuloma for my daughter admission. How many will I count? Mummy gave me a car to go home to take my wife & children who went home during holiday when I did not have a car.

When I lost my father, she gave me a car & a driver to take me home & to stay with me through out the period of the funeral.

Mummy Mosun Odigie
was nice to all humanity
both brother in-laws & sister in-laws.
Similarly. Mummy use to take good care of her domestic workers.
I have observed that any one who works for her for two years must be fixed up in a permanent job.

The last one she fixed up was her driver. The interviewing panel queried that the guy did not have some paper qualification. Mummy told them that the guy had be driving her for the past 2 years without an accident or any fault…. so, he was a good driver and he was appointed for the job.

Mummy always dresses respectifully & with divinity. She is very neat & maintains good hygiene.
She hates dirtiness.

Mummy was very hard working. She would drive
herself from Ekenwan to Ugbowo those days & would be at work on time, before any other person in her department.
My children use to go & spend holidays & weekends with mummy
And would mix up with Oma and her sibblings.

Mummy Mosun was very energetic & very hard working mummy & she worked tirelessly
from work to the market,
Straight to her garden, to the kitchen. And she would also take the children on home work & lessons.

Mummy is a disciplinarian which is why all her children are disciplined & respectful; they all embrace ethics & they all have the fear of God in all that they do.

Mummy is mummy for all. (Iya_ gbogbo)
When mummy was relocating to Lagos, she called my Son & gave him a giant gas cooker with two gas cylinders.

Mummy has already made her heaven. She is gone to rest with her creator.

There is a saying which states that the best always go first.
I have no doubt that God called Angel mummy earlier before her elders because she is extremely good.
Mummy Mosun Odigie is the architect of my well being & that of my family as I speak.
If really there is reincarnation, I pray that Mummy Mosun Odigie shall be my biological mother Amen.
May Mummy's soul rest in peace in the bosom of God almighty. Amen

My beloved Iyawo Aburomi. All my effort to speak with you proved abortive and now you have gone to be with The Lord. Adieu my BELOVED. You ran your race and it's now time to wear your crown with that smile. You fought a good fight and the reward of a tested soldier is now yours. Rest in perfect peace my dear! You have left enough evidence in your BELOVED, children and grand children! Adieu,Mosun ! Ann and Francis Amene and family.

Aunty is sad to hear you passed away. You were such a loving and caring Aunty....we will all miss you greatly..Rest in the bosom of the lord

From Mrs Felicia Odumah.
I received the news of the transition to glory of Sister Mosun with mixed feelings. On one hand, I have seen the wonder Power of GOD with her recovery from the first attack of this illness where even the Doctor in the UK had given her a death sentence. But The LORD Our GOD overruled that sentence, Hallelujah by showing up and doing what HE alone can do and we all rejoiced and gave thanks. When the attack came back again, we looked up again to where our help always come from. Jehovah Rapha. The Lord our healer. We prayed and waited upon GOD. We trusted that what He did before, He can and will still do. True word. The sisters in fellowship stood in faith, your resilience encouraged even further. You were so strong and bold in faith. So we stayed our mind on the LORD, watching and praying. Then came the news on this Tuesday morning whilst we were gathered in fellowship of her home calling. Initial reaction was silence,disbelief, then tears rolled down but suddenly Praise and worship. Was reminded by The Holy Spirit that this is an appointment every single one of us MUST have to keep one day. That to be absent from this side of Eternity is to be Present with GOD in The TRUE ETERNITY, in Heaven WithThe Lord Jesus if one died in Him. So sister Mo as I call her had just changed address, she at rest now with The LORD, at her real home. Eternal home. Therein lies my joy cause I know without a shadow of doubt that she BELONGED to and Served THE LORD JESUS as her LORD and Personal Saviour, she had intimate CONNECTION to Him and it showed in the way she lived her life. (, by their fruit you shall know them, matt 7 16-20). She served God by example, she lived a light life. I have known Sister Mosun from late seventies when she was then working as the hospital administrator in Central hospital Warri, the husband was the chief Surgeon then and I was working as a nurse. Always admired this tall and grace woman of Substance. Then the husband joined SPDC and they moved into the camp where we were also living. I truly came to knowing her more intimately in Lagos when she joined the Tuesday fellowship meeting, having been with the Port Harcourt branch. Since then the bond grew sweeter and tighter as we brake bread together(Bible Study) every Tuesday morning. What endeared me more to her was her Fierce Zeal for the things of God. How about the over two or sometimes more hours she will have to drive to get to VGC depending on the traffic that day. She did this joyfully every Tuesday no matter what obstacle presented itself. My joy is that while we mourn her loss on this side of Life, heaven gained a Saint. She is joyfully singing with the heavenly choir of Angelic host. No more pain, no sorrow, no sickness. Death is truly swallowed up in victory because we have hope, on that Resurrection morning when we meet to part no more. All who have this hope, keep themselves pure only in Christ Jesus. To her dear husband Dr Godfrey Odigie, her Children Mrs Oma Attah, kike and other beloved children, her grandchildren that she is ever so proud of, please be comforted for she lives on. She has only changed address. For those of us here who the merciful God is still keeping over here, may we use our time wisely choosing right and preparing for Eternal life with our king JESUS. Sister Mo has fought the good fight of faith, she has finished her course, she has kept the faith, there is now laid up for her a Crown of Righteousness which the Lord the Righteous judge shall give to her on that day of Ghrist, and not to her only but to all that love His appearing. May that be for everyone Sister Mosun had encountered. Amen. Sis Mo will be greatly missed for so many reasons. Goodnight Sis Mo. May your gentle Soul rest on In perfect peace. Amen.

To me, this isn't the end for grandma as The Lord says everyone who has faith in Him will live, even if they die and we all know grandma's faith was so strong.

In addition to living at the right hand of the Father, she also lives on in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved her. Her battle was a long and difficult one so I'm glad she finally has comfort and peace. As we grieve and mourn in our own ways I would also recommend reading 1st Thessalonians 4: 13-18 when and if ever you find yourself needing a lift from the downward spiral of emotions you may find yourself in.

As I lay this 'e-flower', I do so knowing two things for sure - heaven couldn't wait for her and we will meet again someday... love you grandma xo

TRIBUTE TO LATE SISTER MOSUN ODIGIE FROM SIR/LADY D.O OVUERAYE.

We were badly shaken and shocked when we heard the death of our dear sister Mosun-Odigie.
We never knew that the illness will lead to your end on earth.

However, the holy book reminds us in Ecc. 3:1 that "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; A time to be born and a time to die; .......". We are very short of words to write right now because our spirit is very low. However we pray that the good Lord will give you compassion, rest and eternal peace in His bossom.

Sister Mosun was a good friend, sister, confidant and adviser, we really miss her but glad that you are now with the Lord where there is no more pains or sorrows.

Rest in peace sister.
Goodbye sister.
Goodbye.

*TRIBUTE TO MRS. MOSUNMADE A. ODIGIE*

The news of the untimely demise of our colleague, Mrs. Mosunmade A. Odigie, on 20th October, 2020 came to us as a shock. It has compelled us to revisit the early beginnings and growth of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, and the role she played in that metamorphosis.
2.  The Hospital came into existence in 1979, and she joined the Administrative Staff on ground on 1st October, 1982, coming along with the rich experience she had garnered from her employment in 1973 at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital. Her presence was a blessing to the Hospital, particularly in the Clinical Services and Training wing.
3.  She grew with the Hospital over the years, moving from Emohua General Hospital - its first temporary site - and later to General Hospital, Port Harcourt - its second and last temporary site. This was where Mosun ended her journey with the Hospital, having risen to the position of Assistant Director of Administration, and retiring in 2004.
4.  As a person, Mosun was not one to be missed in a crowd: blessed with a towering physique, she was not only visible, but audible, and had an independent mind on issues. In addition to this, she was endowed with other sterling qualities, including forthrightness, consistency and perseverance in bringing agreed goals and tasks to their logical conclusion.
Mosun was a metaphor for discipline and earned as a result, the nicknames - 'Margaret Thatcher' and 'Iron Lady.' For a young Institution, this helped to shape its future.
It must be pointed out, however, that beneath that coat of armour and the 'Iron Ladiness', was a kindhearted and motherly personality, who would even go an extra mile to assist someone in need.
5.  On behalf of all the older generation of staff of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, we sincerely commiserate with the bereaved family and fervently pray that God would console and comfort you, uphold and uplift you, and fill every gap created by her departure.
Signed
1. Chief Dr. O. R. LongJohn
[Pioneer Chief Medical Director]
2. Dr. U. S. Etawo
[Former Chief Medical Director]

[Pioneer Director of Administration]

From: IREPODUN LADIES SOCIETY
It was a shock with submission and thanksgiving to Almighty God that we received the news of our dear sister, friend and the First President of the above named society. 
She and some old friends of Yoruba descendant domiciled in Port Harcourt between 1982/83 decided to form an association of ladies/women of Yoruba ethnic especially married to other ethnic descents men and as time went by, other ladies/women who came on transfer Port Harcourt were accepted as members. One prominent entery acceptance to the association was honesty, respect and integrity which you and other senior members kept. One of the main objectives of the association was to enable these group of women keep abreast with their culture, assist each other when need be and not missed the tradition left behind by organising different form of entertainments monthly and yearly. Social media was not much in existence then unlike now that the world is a global village.
We celebrated your life because you are such a supper/iron lady ready to assist when called upon and put the association on strong feet.
You are full of life, jokes, love, sincere and your smile has no part two during the meeting, same as your personality and proactive in all matters.
You remain a committed member till you relocated to Lagos some years ago, even at that, you become a long distance member and never wanted the association to be extinguished, you follow up on members and even attended various occasions/events organized by members.
We noticed your integrity, orderliness, discipline, firmness and enduring sisterly love as your attribute. You easily settle disagreements without been unnecessarily fussy but still want your seniority noticed.
I can go on enumerating the good memories shared. Although, the members have since reduced before your earthly departure due to some had also answered the call of God to heaven or relocated to other states.
You came, saw, conquered and left good memories in the hearts of those who came across you. People die, but good names don't die easily, at the mentoned of your name, one see a beautiful smiling face and hear high powerful vocal.
Our amiable sister, friend and founding member of the above named society - Mrs Mosunmade Odigie rest at the boosom of the Lord.
The Good Lord will grant your husband Dr G. Odigie, children and grandchildren the Grace to bear the irreplaceable lost.
Adieu !!!

Tribute to Mrs Mosun Arike Odigie by members of the Tuesday Fellowship Group Lagos.
It was with deep shock but in total submission to the will of our Sovereign Lord , that we received the news of your homecall just as we gathered that Tuesday for our weekly Tuesday Fellowship Bible Study. Needless to say the entire time thereafter was spent in prayer and thanksgiving for the beautiful child of God that you are.
Shock, because we had prayed, believed and gave thanks for God's awesomeness in your life , when you were ill and the great joy and testimony He gave us but in total surrender to God's Perfect will because we know He is sovereign and does all things well.
Sister Mosun, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend; a calm and gentle spirit, elegant, beautiful on the outside and even more beautiful on the inside, a God lover, a God chaser, an avid compassionate listener and true worshiper, so humble and caring with attention to details and always the perfect hostess. Indeed, a woman in whom there was no guile. How we miss you
You were determined and always set your mind on accomplishing what you planned whatever obstacles there may seem. Imagine the distance you covered every Tuesday to be with and share fellowship with your beloved sisters who loved you also in double measure.You were a rare gem and we are all blessed and richer for it to have had you with us for the time we had.
We are consoled that you are now one with the heavenly host,doing that which you loved doing------ Praise and Worship---- before our Heavenly Father whom you have seen face to face.
Our immense thanks and gratitude go to your husband our Dear Dr Odigie, and your children for the beautiful love and care they showered you. God honour and remember them for good.
Until we meet in our heavenly Jerusalem at the feet of Jesus, your sisters say Goodnight. Sun re o. Your memory shall always be a blessing.
- Tuesday Fellowship Group Lagos

     A saint has gone home

Mosunmade Arike Odigie nee Awoyinka. 1945 – 2020

Hmmm, how do I start this tribute, Am I even qualified or competent to write about this great woman of God. But at Funmi's request I will try to go down memory lane to write a few things on what I can remember as a childhood friend to Mosun. Mosun, the summary of whatever I am going to write is that you came, saw and conquered. You lived a good life worthy of emulation. Towards the end of your sojourn on earth God saw you getting tired and cure was not forthcoming so God put His hands around you on the 20th of Oct. 2020 and said Mosun come to me where all wars will end no longer will you need the sun or moon to give you light, for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light, and he will be your glory ( Amen).

Early Education in Sabongidda Ora.

One would wonder how a yoruba girl found her way to a place like Ora. Mosun’s dad and mum Mr & Mrs. Awoyinka of blessed memory came to ora and established the only known bookshop in ora in Ahonkhais house on the major road their house was just a stone throw from my dads Chief M.G Amu’s House. We related very well for various reasons – then we were seen to be the enlighten children from “Abroad” in the vicinity our houses were very close, our mothers were of Yoruba descent and we went to the same school and church – St. John Anglican church together. Mosun was blessed with a senior sister popularly called sister Dupe, reserved and focused. Mosun and her elder sister were called in Ora ( Ovbie Bookseller) the daughters of the bookseller. Our early education started from St. John B school in 1953 and ended in Anglican girls school Sabongidda- Ora. We were fifteen girls in number and notable amongst us were:
Victoria Unuigbe
Ayo Odile - RIP
Taye Akinluyi
Kehinde Akinluyi
Bosede Imoukhede
Bade Amu ( My very self)
Mosunmade Awoyinka - RIP
Obomo


Just to mention a few and the class teacher was Mrs. Ajepe while the Headmaster was Mr. Omoba. Mosun as the name Arike connotes was loved by all.You can not but notice a personality like Mosun in any gathering. She was very proactive, with captivating smiles that eventually won the heart of DR. Geoffery Odigie. she was vocal but not soft spoken. She spoke Ora language fluently and understood the culture more than her yourba culture. We enjoyed watching the annual UKPAKO festival and the OMULEKEKE ceremony where by young ones move from house to house with long sticks pounding the floor soliciting for help in whatever form e. g food stuffs, Money and prayers from the house holds.
Mosun, the class of 1958 primary school in ora says farewell to our sister, friend and classmate Mosunmade Arike Awoyinka your exit was painful but who are we to question our creator.

Post Primary School Education

In 1959, Mosun and the twins gained admission into ST. Annes school Ibadan while Bade went to St. Catherines Anglican Grammar School Owo in 1960 and we parted ways but still related during the holidays at sabongidda ora.

Post Secondary Education
In 1965, by divine connection we still met in Edo college for our A levels but this time Mosun was in the sciences while I was in the humanities that again separated us the more as we were in different classes and barely interacted except at weekends. Those in the sciences at that time were:

Gorffrey, my late cousin Robert Amu, Agbofure, Alice, Afe, Theressa and many others. As a very good friend and as a fine lady I really prayed and wished that my cousin Robert will one day marry my friend Mosun so that the friendship can continue and solidify but according Proverbs 19:21 which says Many are the plans in a man's heart but it's the Lords purpose that prevails. Mosun we love you but GOD loves you more, Rest in peace until we meet to part no more. Good night my lovely friend and (wife). May the good Lord continue to strengthen your husband Gorffrey and the Family. Mosun sun re o, Me hen Nosen


From
Lady Mabel Bade Ojeikere

Posted on behalf of Mrs Abiodun

Mosun my classmate and very good friend. We attended the same secondary school, St Anne's School, Molete, Ibadan, 58/62 Set. I stayed behind for the HSC program, but she left.
Our paths crossed again in 1985 when I went to Abuloma, in Port Harcourt when one of my daughters was admitted. We met in the Bursar's office. He was attending to me when Mosun came in and greeted everyone present but didn't greet me, because I backed her. When I turned back, I recognized her and called her name. We hugged and greeted each other and recalled old times. From then on she became Guardian and Mother to my children. Two girls in Abuloma, my Step daughter in Owerri and my Step son in FGC Port Harcourt. Mosun was very kind and selfless. Imagine four additional strangers to carter for. Bless her. She never complained.

Our friendship continued over the years. Anytime she came to Lagos, she stayed at my place. Our classmates used to meet at one of our mate’s place in University of Lagos Campus. Mosun and myself would go together. We attended Weddings and Events of classmates together.

When she finally moved to Lagos we attended the Old School meetings together. Mosun is a praying mother. She is courageous and loving. When she told me she was sick and was travelling … we prayed and believed God for a miracle.

The last time I visited her at the hospital she was her old self. She told her Nurse about our friendship. However on the 20th of October when her husband broke the news to me, I was devastated. I know she is in a better place resting with the Lord. May the Good Lord comfort and strengthen Godfrey her loving and adorable husband, the children, Oma, Kike, Funmi, Erumse and Obehi, the grandchildren and Sister Dupe my senior at school. Mosun, my lovely friend sleep on till the Resurrection day when we shall meet again.❤️

On behalf of Mrs Adoghe

Life is a journey of varying experiences that shape our personality and reveal our strength.

Mosun my darling friend and sister, these last months truly revealed that you were a fighter. You were a woman of faith and integrity. Your faith and trust in your God never wavered all through. You held onto Him no matter what. You have fought the good fight, you have finished your race. You kept your faith. You have gone to receive the crown of righteousness and glory from your Lord and God.

I will miss you Mosun because you were a faithful, reliable and trustworthy friend and sister. I thank God for the privilege of knowing you. May the good Lord grant your husband Godfrey, your children, sister and all of us the grace to bear this great loss May the Lord grant you a special place in His bosom.

Adieu my friend, rest in perfect peace Amen

A TRIBUTE TO OUR SISTER MOSUN
This tribute is not going to do justice to express our sisterhood - the bond that we all shared as glammas, in prayers, in joy and in sorrow for each other. Our dear, lovely, beautiful and elegant Mosun is gone. The shock of her death is a hard reminder of mortality but also brings out the lesson of a well lived life - that is, to leave this place a bit better than you found it, is perhaps the greatest epitaph.
That "Life is the sum total of your chores" as stated by Albert Camus is vividly brought to life in Mosun's sojourn on earth. Mosun's chores and characteristics affected the lives of her children, husband, friends and co-workers in so many positive ways. Her positive outlook on life, fundamental faith in God and love for humanity were amazing. Mosun is a woman of faith, diligence and intelligence. She kept her faith in God all through her suffering till the end. God took her away in His arms and said it is alright and time. It is well, we cannot question Him. We know you are in heaven and we believe that there is a little bit of heaven in our homes and on our posts…

Mosun always spoke her mind and she had her funny moments and jokes which put us all at ease when she was around, at our meetings. We all shared posts, prayers and birthdays on our platform and even though she was sick, she never failed to remind us of members anniversaries and birthdays. She truly had a sense of commitment. Mosun kept the spirit and the bond of friendship. When we sent our good wishes through Godfrey, Godfrey said she acknowledged them with a smile… that smile of togetherness, of love that binds us all with cords of friendship that can never be broken and will live in our hearts forever. It is hard to say goodbye Mosun. Goodbye, farewell Mosun, we miss you, your memory will always last. Adieu unbeatable glamma Mosun

With your passing, the entire Odigie family have lost a great woman and mother. I thank the good Lord for the beautiful life you had. Our recent communications were mostly through the phone, but you remained your kind and beautiful self. Now you can rest peacefully with the Lord in heaven devoid of all pain and suffering. May the good Lord pardon any shortcomings of yours and grant you a place of joy and peace in heaven. Rest in peace.
Fr. Tony Anamali.

My God Mother!! My sweet and gentle Aunty Mosun ...My Mother’s friend from way back.

Still feels abit strange that you are gone....was a lot to take in but I’m so glad for the privilege to speak with you one last time. I’m also so glad for the privilege to be able to pray with you .
Aunty, I take solace in the fact that you are now with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I take solace in the fact that you are now healed; no more pain. I take solace in the fact that one day we shall meet to part no more.

I pray that God will uphold and strengthen Uncle Godfrey, Oma, Kike, Funmi, Eromosele Obehi and the rest of the family .
You can rest now, my dear Aunty,in the bosom of the Lord . We love you but God loves you more

Adieu ❤️

My dear auntie, you were always so kind and warm towards me in particular. This remains very distinct in my memories of you. You always made me feel important and welcomed whenever I came by the house. I know my dear friend, Funmi can attest to this.

On behalf of my mum and the rest of the Sir Robert E Ikuenobe family, I’m saying “ we love you dearly auntie, and remain ever so proud of you even now that you’ve moved on to the next life ”

I hereby also extend the Ikuenobe family’s prayers, deep condolences, and solidarity to the dear ones left behind, especially my very own uncle Godfrey, also to Oma, Kike, Funmi, Eromosele, and Obehi. I hear of the great care given and valiant efforts made by all of you before auntie left us, but now we must leave things to the Almighty; I can only trust God to supply the grace and strength you all need at this time.

We stand with you in celebrating the life of this great and loving woman of virtue.

Sweet mother, we can't query God for calling you so soon. Sleep on well. We'll miss you dearly in our honoured order Knights of St. Mulumba. We'll meet again to part no more. Adieu Worthy Sister. Sir/Lady Roger Okoruwa

Mosun Arike Odigie(1945-2020) has left us, joining the Saints Triumphant in her new abode above! May the good Lord comfort all those she left behind. It's well IJN,AMEN. Dr. Henry Ogieva Akpata & Family.

Will always remember your motherly guidance when I was UPTH and needed to go for further studies. You were strict but always means well.
May your motherly soul rest in peace.

It was a shock and yet with submission and thanksgiving to God that we received the news of the passing to Glory of our dear Auntie.
We celebrate her life because she was such a strong support and helper in every sense of the words. From the day we got married, she supported us to settle down into jobs, ever ready to listen and took very helpful actions. While others might just say a few words of encouragement and leave - Auntie Mosun will rise up to support you with actions, till she got real tangible successes, not just best wishes and prayers. What a wonderful pillar of strength she has been to me, my wife Tinu and the children. Auntie Odigie was a clear example of the Biblical doctrine that enjoin us to bear each other's burdens. It was touching to be informed that on her final departure bed she was still remembering our daughter who passed on several years before. She is sorely missed and we shall never forget her - a good and faithful servant of the Most High GOD.
May your soul rest in perfect peace. Many blessings strength and comfort to Uncle Dr Odigie, Oma and all the children and grand children. Jesus is LORD.
from Dr Sola and Mrs Tinuola TAIWO.

May her beautiful soul rest in peace. May God comfort the family. Sleep on beloved Mother.

Dear mummy Mosun Odigie (now of green and blessed memory). I deliberately waited for this day in the Calendar as the Church celebrates the Feast of ALL THE SAINTS bcos of it's uniqueness in our journey of faith. I have never met you in person ma, but I did through your Daughter Mrs. Kike Raji (who was my parishioner). She told me alot about you and I saw in her the truism of the saying that; an apple does not fall far from its tree. Since i got to know of you ma, I have been saying masses for your recovery because you have struggled with ill health for the past few years as much as I know. Today I do not mourn you ma, but instead I rejoice that you have been numbered among the Saints whom we celebrate today and that the Odigie's now have a direct representative over there.
Continue to find rest and pray for us to join you at that happy place when our times here on earth comes to an end. We will be with you someday ma!
REQUISCAT IN PACEM!

TRIBUTE TO A LOVING AND CARING MOTHER, MUMMY MOSUN ODIGIE.
By FEYISHAYO ALABI

Since the sad and painful news of Mummy Mosun’s home-call I’ve often had to pinch myself to make sure I was not dreaming.

Mummy Mosun was mother, not only to her biological children but to as many as God brought her way. You couldn’t be around her without being a beneficiary of her motherly love. She had children spanning a wide age spectrum, even including 60-year olds.

I am thankful to God for the great times I had with her; these memories I’d continually cherish. I thank God for her sweet and quiet disposition. I am thankful she is in the presence of God who was with her all through her earthly journey, and showed Himself strong on her behalf.

He, God, deemed it fit at this time to call her home, and rest from her earthly struggles.

Mummy Mosun,
May your sweet and gentle soul rest in perfect peace in the bosom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I love you, but God loves you more.

Adieu, till we meet again.

TRIBUTE TO OUR DEAR FRIEND AND SISTER FOREVER, SISTER MOSUN ODIGIE.
From LADIES FOR JESUS FELLOWSHIP (a non-denominational Bible Study group).

The news of your departure, dear Aunty/Sister Mosun, is so painful to us but only because we are still flesh and blood. The truth is that all our years of digging deep into the word of God have now brought a rejoicing in heaven because of your arrival. Yes, while we mortals grief over the departure of a saint, heaven is delighted because precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints, Psalm 116 verse 15.

You have not died, Sister Mosun, you have only gone ahead of us to the place we are all labouring to attain, by God's grace. Yes, the virtues you exuded in your calm and gentle demeanor, your overall virtues, give us this assurance and these will be forever alive in our hearts.

Your regular presence in our Bible study meetings, your integrity with time (your punctuality), orderliness, discipline, firm and enduring genuine sisterly love, your humility, warmth, your unassuming childlike hunger and submission to God's word was remarkable. Without words, for you were not given to many words, you epitomised the older godly woman, living your life as example for the younger women to follow, Titus 2 verse 3-5.

You made us understand that as Christians, after we have prayed, we should be ready and willing to accept the will of God, never to insist on our own. We have no doubt that this is God's time and will for your life. We invariably humbly submit, though we will miss you sore.

Adieu, gentle Sister. Rest in peace in the bosom of your God who loves you more than we can.

Aunty Mosun,

The thought that you are no more hurts.
But we all have to be strong and celebrate your beautiful life.

I first met you in the early 80’s in the Shell Camp, Portharcourt. You were a very strong pillar to the Ladies Wing of the Shell Club. You were so kind , always smiling and brought the women together, young and old., never discriminated. Your strength as a go-getter, encouraged some of us especially myself, that if someone like you can do so much, what about us? You were working, had a husband and children, active in church, yet still found time to lead the Ladies. 

 Through you and some other Ladies, we had the Shell Nursery in the Camp which replaced the former Caravan School. You brought some women to the camp to plait our children’s hair outside the Gym, the Ladies Hair Dressing Salon in the Camp was expanded and furnished . We had Ladies Night, Cooking Competition, Holiday activities for children, etc.
There were so many things you did that I can only mention a few

 On a personal level, you lived not too far away from me in the Shell Camp. You were also a Parent in a school I worked. (FGGC, Abuloma).  I saw you last when you visited Oma in Holland. Since then , Oma had kept me informed about you and other family members.

A Loving Wife to Dr Odigie
A Great Mum and Grandmother
and above all , A JEWEL of inestimable value
A kind and wonderful woman with a good ❤️ heart.

 We love you, but God loves you best.

YOU CAME, SAW AND CONQUERED. 
Your spirit lives on in the hearts of those you left behind.
A BEAUTIFUL SOUL is never LOST, but LIVES on FOREVER.

My dear sister in Jesus Christ Mrs.Mosunmade who passed on to Glory,my family and i cherish the good life you lived during your soujourn in this world.You were a good wife to your husband and good mother to your children.We will forever miss your friendly attitude towards our family and your beautiful smile.
We love you but our Lord Jesus Christ loves you best. May your gentle soul rest in peace peace may God Almighty grant your family and friends the fortitude to bear your absence.
Tribute on behalf of The Amadasun family.

We send our deepest condolences to Oma, Tony and the entire Odigie family. Mothers are very special and losing one can be a very painful experience. We pray that God will comfort and heal all of you in Jesus Name. Amen.

Enwere and Boma Pepple

Our sister in the Order of Knights and Ladies of St. Mulumba, then Stella-Maris Subcouncil, Port Harcourt, my brother Roger, myself and all those who knew you will forever miss you. We were calm. You disciplined with love. May our good Lord grant you eternal rest in His Bossom. May your soul rest in perfect peace Amen! May God also console our brother and the entire family.

Dear Oma,

It was with great sadness that I learnt of the passing of your dear mother. The Lord in His infinite mercy will grant you and the family the fortitude to bear the loss. Your mother was a disciplinarian who raised her children with good Christian values and you are a testament to her good graces. My prayers and thoughts are with your dad, you and your sister and the whole family at this time. God bless you all and may He grant your mother eternal rest in His bosom.

Remain blessed,
Clement and the kids and grandkids

Dear Oma, kike and others

She has fought the good fight of faith.

I remembered how we swapped funny stories our mums. I remember how full of life and energy she was.

I cannot say enough words to comfort you and your family. Only God truly know what to touch within your heart to bring you comfort.

I commit you to God to heal and to preserve. My family and I, extend our deepest condolences to yours.

Late Mrs.Mosunmola and her husband Dr.Godfry Odigie have been good family friends to my husband Tony Amdasun and i besdes being my husband's colleague in Shell Petroleum Company Rumubiakani Port Harcourt many years ago.
She and her family were our good neighbors in Shell Camp PH.
I will greatly miss her amiable smile and friendly attitude she showered on every one who came her way most especially my husband,my very self,our children and The Irepodun Ladies Society Port Harcourt to which she and I once belonged..That was the society where I admired her hardworking nature.She was very active as the society's secretary.
My family and I will miss her greatly.I will also miss her as my sister from another mother because we both were sisters like other sisters in Irepodun Ladies Society Port Harcourt Rivers State.We all love you but our Lord Jesus Christ loves you more.Sleep on and take your rest.I believe there is another fellowship in heaven where our Lord Jesus Christ will be with you and our other beloved ones who have passed on to Glory.
May the members of your family and friends you left behind be strengthened by God to bear the great loss.Amen.

Dear Oma & Kikelomo, 
It was with a great sense of shock that we received the news of your mom's passing into eternal rest!
She ran her race, fought the good fight & now resting a better place: at the feet of her creator.
Her legacy lives on!
I pray that the good Lord comforts your dad, all of you, her grand children & her entire family she left behind.
Our deepest condolences to the entire family.
May God grant her eternal rest. Amen.

My first meeting with Aunty was on my resumption into secondary school in 1985 when my Mom took me to school and while on the queue in the burser's office she recognized her old time secondary school mate who had also come to attend to her daughter's admission. They were both so happy to see each other after so many years.Since we lived in Lagos and Aunty in PH,my mom handed me over to my New Mom and she and her husband became my guardian through out my stay in PH. Three of my other siblings also joined me there and she took us all in as her own and never for once discriminated us from her biological children who also took us as their cousins.
Aunty Mosun was a good, kindhearted and very accommodating Woman.She was so compassionate.She was strong willed and fought even to the very end of her journey here on earth.
She may be gone,but will not be forgotten by her wards.
Uncle,Oma,Kike, Funmi,Erumuse and Obehi,I pray the Lord comforts and consoles you in these times.
Aunty Mosun ,rest on in the Lord and continue to be at peace.
Olasunkanmi Sotinwa nee Abiodun.

Dear OMA,
So sorry to hear about your mom's demise.
Really sad but I pray that her soul will have eternal rest in the Lord.
May God grant you, your siblings and dad the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. Shalom!

Sisi Mosun,
You came conquered, played different roles to different people and the conclusion was a great testaments on sand of times. You are my hero of your generation.
Just like yesterday, we met in 1984 when l moved to Shell camp Port Harcourt from Lagos and ever since then, we remain bonded till your passage. The bond was like a cartoon character of Tom and Jerry, senior and junior stuff, still you demonstrated love and care but will not hesitate to put the sledge hammer when line is crossed and also reconciled without fuss.
When went l through my children 8 days naming ceremony pictures of the 80s you played Senior Sisi Role. Thank you again.
You founded with your friend Mrs Salomi an association of Yoruba females indigens in and out of Shell camp domicile in Port Harcourt and the members cut across all age gaps but never comprised love, integrity and respect amongst the members.
In addition, you welcome other tribes/indigens in Shell camp PH via the "Ladies wing Association".
There is no enough space to write all the memories shared but to mentioned view, your name rushed flood of unforgettable good memories also remember your laughter and smile so vivid.
All mortal being are on pligrm while on planet earth and at one point go back to the creator, it so sad and heard to say Goodbye My Sisi Mosun.
Rest in peace dear sisi Mosun l will miss your Tom character.
The Dokuns will miss you.

Dear Oma
Sorry for this irreplaceable loss. Eternal rest grant unto her oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. Amen

The cruel hand of death had snatched you away from us.
What we have is memories of your warm smiles, large heart and good deeds.
I thank God for the life you spent with us.
May you rest in God's grace.
Rest in peace Aunty, we love you and you are such an amazing person to us.

Dearest Kike, this was indeed shocking, though our greatest fear. We thank God for a life well spent and to the glory of God. Take heart dear, be consoled, may our Almighty God give your entire family the fortitude to bear this loss. God will strengthen your Dad to go through this. May her soul rest in the bosom of the Lord.

Dear Kike,
Please accept my deepest condolences.
It was with rude shock that I received the news of the death of Mum. The pain of losing a dear and treasured mother is grave.

But our consolation lies in the fact that she fought the good fight and lived her faith to the end. May you find strength in the assurance that: " The souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God, no torment shall ever touch them". 

Mummy will be greatly missed but her legacies of faith, kindness and large heartedness live on in you her children. May the angels lead her to Abraham's bosom.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family.

Fr Sam Kure.

Honestly I am lost of word and even shocked beyond my marrow. My dear sisand good friend ,I dearly miss you. Our mutual friend Mabel Sanomi informed me of your short illness and when I called you were as usual of good spirits.........howver Our Master JESUS has called you to higher service . May our Blessed Mother continue to uphold yo u before her Son Jesus.
I also pray for the repose of your dear soul.
May your dear husband and lovely children be consoled by GOD ALMIGHTY. AMEN.

With love and prayers, from me
Hon. Justice Sotonye Denton West
