In one sense, though, Funke Ogeah is not gone. She is continually and fondly remembered as a daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend who radiated great bliss, laughter and splendor wherever she graced with her unforgettable presence.
Indeed, the true measure of a person is not how long he or she lives, but what was achieved while on earth. Olufunke was endowed with the noblest persona epitomizing kindness, selflessness, genuine humaneness and an extraordinary ability to put a smile on people’s faces, even at the most improbable time.
Chike Ogeah, the former Commissioner of Information in Delta State and a panelist of Thisday Live, has announced the passing of his beloved wife, Olufunke Ogeah, aged 62, who died as a result of a prolonged illness on Sunday.
Survived by her 91-year-old mother, Kanyi-sola Sophia Koya, her daughter, two sons, a grandson, brother, and three sisters, Mrs. Ogeah’s departure leaves a void in the lives of those closest to her.
In a statement issued by the former information commissioner, he expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and condolences received from friends and associates during this difficult time.
He also said funeral arrangements will be announced in due course.
