It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Theodora Elizabeth Nwadiafor Onyejekwe. Theodora peacefully passed away at home, surrounded by loved ones, on July 29, 2025.
For over 20 years, Theodora dedicated her life to serving others as a Human Services Professional. She had a heart of gold and touched the lives of many with her kindness, generosity, and caring spirit. Anyone who visited her home never left empty-handed—she always made sure you had a snack or a meal before you went on your way.

She is also survived by her siblings:
• Mr Charles Ikechukwu Obiozor
• Mrs Vivian Uju Obiozor Ozobia

As well as her beloved aunts Mrs Mary Arah Viola Egbuniwe and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Prayer
“If roses grow in Heaven Lord,
please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me. Tell her that I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it everyday, but there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away”.
