Rahab Mugure Kirui was such a gallant Lady that a Woman of Substance would be a title befitting her in every way. Left with six young children(four girls and two boys) by her husband through bereavement, she laboured dilligently to see to it that she gave them a very colourful future. These children grew to be very well rounded exquisitely beautiful girls and handsome intelligent boys. My friends and I nicknamed these girls (MCG's)Magazine Cover girls and actually wondered at how uprightly and virtuosly they conducted themselves in a home where all people were welcomed with open arms.
Thus, we the friends of the Kirui's never ceased to wonder at how the wise upbringing of these children had adorned Mama Njeri's home with magnetic grace which drew all of us there. Let me close my below per eulogy by saying Mama Njeri was a Woman of Substance in whose mouth was the Law of Kindness.

Mama Njeri, your passing came as a big shock, but we have accepted it and my prayer is for God to rest your soul in eternal peace and joy and to comfort, strengthen, and take care of your family. You were a wonderful mother figure to us all, who kept checking on us and was always available to assist whenever we needed you. You were one of the kindest and most generous people that I know. Rest well, and say hello to my parents in heaven for me. Thank you for being there for our family when my parents were alive and even after they had passed.

FROM MAMA NDUNGU (FAIRY TIMBER KAWAGWARE).
Mum.. you left a vacuum no one can fill…when friends leave us thro death, we feel cheated in life.. mum I used to turn to you when my spirit needed a lift and you could fill my life with beauty, joy and hope..if only I could have you back for just a little while to laugh again, to go for Nyama choma and fish fillet at Westlands, to call and chat with each other almost every day, those special memories of you will always make me smile….mum you will be forever in my minds and heart.  You have been my role model, my hero… always my pride… I remember when you came to my son’s graduation how you made everyone laugh with your jokes…how we used to share anything and everything that left people around us wondering what kind of a relationship we had….during chama day you could not sit away from me..always insisting to sit next to me and I could feel the love and warmth of a mother….I feel like a part of me has been cut off…I know heaven has gained…sleep well mum, dance with angels till we meet again.

Mama I saw you in the daughter you raised. Antonia,very warm, hardworking, Highly professional, God fairing, Lovely human being. Mama you have done well. I am sure her siblings will have the same qualities we here in USA sees on a daily basis in Antonia . The Legacy continues Mama. It’s exactly 17 years today that my own mother left this sinful world. I cried every day, We shall meet at the feet of Jesus Christ. Sleep well Mama until we meet to part no more.

“Nyina wa Antonia….!!!” I’ll call you whenever I saw your striking and pretty face. You would turn and give me that great smile and in a jovial mood respond with such warmth! I remember the last time we met at the Hospital, though brief. You were bubbly and full of life even though you were not well. I shall miss your bright and vibrant self.

You loved and lived - 1 Timothy 6:17-18:
“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

Nyina wa Antonia, you were an epitome of kindness and generosity. We pray to Our Lord to bless your soul with eternal peace. 

Antonia, Martin, Kent, Njambi, Carol and your families, May God give you acceptance and peace. It is well.

It's with great shock and sadness that I write this farewell message. I remember the good times I spent in your house with your family as well as difficult times when your strength as the matriarch held all of us together. Now that you are absent in body I know you are present with the Lord. May Antonia, Martin, Kent, Njambi and their families know that they'll never be alone because their heavenly father and you are watching over them. Koma thayu maitu...

Dear Rahab, gone too soon. You were okay I know this was a case of medical negligence which has angered me alot. I have not come to terms with this news yet because your voice is still very vivid in my ears. God's masterpiece you were , my friend. I will miss you and no one can ever fill the gap you have left. You brought the best in me you went out of your way to give without expecting anything in return. Anytime we met you were bursting with happiness and you always told me alot of stuff which I consider my little secrets now. Who really held me highly and I will miss you. Rest in eternal glory Aunty Rahab. #GoonSoSoon!

My sister, I will forever miss you. You have always been there for my entire family. I remember how you used to carry me on your back and take me with you to school when I was a small girl. You took care of my children as I travelled for business. Recently you came through for me when I had a challenge. Surely you will be forever missed. Rest in peace till we meet again in glory.

Dearest Mum Rahab, my heart is broken that I was not able to meet you here in the physical world before you made your journey home. I know that you are now safe and at peace - and have warmly been welcomed by all that have gone before us. Luckily for me, I have your beautiful daughter Antonia as my Sister, and one day will meet your other friends and relatives, and see your abundant joy and zest for life reflected in them. Sending you so much love and gratitude for all that you gave in your lifetime. May you light the Heaven’s with your enduring and vibrant spirit! Your daughter, Reta Jane in Los Angeles

Fam, I just wanted to take time and express my condolences to the entire Kirui family. We have all lost a mother and a friend. Words can't express the pain and almost bitterness in my heart. I suspect the feeling is the same for the entire Riruta village and community. Because that is who we are - family. However, the thought of God's grace for granting us the opportunity to experience mom's authentic love, joy, and compassion gives me some semblance of peace. It won't be the same...it never will, but knowing that she has shaped the people that we have become gives me the sense that she lives on amongst us. At this moment, I pray for peace. I love you all.

Mama Njeri, what a story and what a life well lived. The Matriarch of the Kirui Family, the stronghold, the Lioness of the Family, I remember your boisterous nature, your loud laughter, the chai at home, always chai, always full of visitors, always welcoming mama’s in your home. Your knack for business, your beautiful clothes and hats, you loved to look good, you loved to be happy and you loved your family and friends fiercely. You are unforgettable. You lived a life only many would imagine. Rest Now... You have Run and Won your Race.

Oh my, this life is short, wa mama, cousin, you are gone. But you are beyond pain, beyond sickness and you are beyond the worries and cares of this life. In the sweet, By and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore.

I remember your generosity, your giving, you were always there for someone. Yes, I remember you came through for me one time I was stuck with school fees for my daughter- that's who you were.

RIP till we meet again.

To my dear Cousin, aka Tata.. I will never forget the fond memories I have of you growing up. For the warm hospitality you would extend to me when I visited your home during my school holidays.. For the abundant supply of veggies you would send me back home with from your backyard garden. For raising beautiful, outstanding children who in turn provided solid friendships and nurturing relationships for my siblings and I. Thank you. Rest well Tata.

Her Life

THE EULOGY of RAHAB MUGURE KIRUI

August 3, 2021
Composed by her children: Antonia, Martin, Kent and Immaculate

II Timothy 4:7: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

EARLY LIFE:

Our dear mum Rahab Mugure Kirui was born on April 21st, 1950 to Willie Kamau and Fresiah Wanjiru in Thogoto Village, Kiambu County. Mum was the 2nd of 10 children: Njambi, Njahira, Wanyua, Kamunyu, Waithira, Njenga, Ndungi, Waruimbo and the late Moses Thwagi.

She grew up in Thogoto, attended Thirime Primary School & Kikuyu Day Secondary School.

FAMILY LIFE:

Mum met her loving husband, the late Peter Kirui Muthiora and celebrated their marriage in 1969. Together they were blessed with 6 Children: Antonia Wanjiru, Martin Muthiora, Kent Kamau, Immaculate Njambi, and the late Mary Njeri and Catherine Wambui. Her family meant the world to her! Sadly, when her husband died unexpectedly in 1983, she was left to singlehandedly fend for the young family. Mum was a doting grandmother to Mumbi, Mugure, Shishi, Jayden, Njoroge, Angie, Aniel, Aviela, Ariela, David, Jonathan, and the late Sherry. She was a beloved cousin and auntie to many.

CHURCH & COMMUNITY SERVIVCE:

Many people called Rahab Nyina wa Njeri, and she cherished her community. Mum established a reputation for hard work and a keen acumen for business to support the budding family. She thrived by sheer dint of effort and creativity.

Through her businesses Rahab supported many development initiatives because serving others was an essential part of her life. Charity was close and dear to her heart. She firmly believed in helping those in need and giving back to society. During the political clashes over the 2007 elections, she took in 6 children from hotspot areas.

From a tender age, mum was active in the Orthodox Church, Kagira where she was baptised. In later life she was a member of P.C.E.A. Church St. Andrews, Nairobi.

LATER YEARS
Our dear mum battled diabetes for several years. She developed several acute complications and passed on at 9 p.m. on July 29th, 2021 at Agha Khan Hospital. The family sincerely thanks the doctors and nurses who took care of mum's health and labored to find a solution for her illness. Special thanks to her very talented endocrinologist, Dr. Paul Ngugi.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
April 21st of this year marked mum’s 71st birthday. She wore many hats including being a proud mother, grandma, and friend to many. Looking back one can truly say hers was a life well lived and the heavenly host has called her home.

Mum, your earthly suite is no more! You stepped into Eternity, and you're now in a glorified, disease-free body, singing and dancing on the streets of gold together with the host of heaven. Your parting with us was not an end but a magnificent beginning; the terrestrial just got swallowed up by the celestial. We can't wait to meet you at heaven's front gate when our temporary assignment on earth is complete!

“Holding your memory with awe and pleasure and hanging onto the promise of re-union''. R.I.P (Resurrection is Promised).
