Mama was among the foundational members of First Baptist Church Igbara Oke. She got baptized in the church by late late Rev. MacGee in 1950.
She was a devoted and faithful Christian and very active in church till her time of departure to her maker. She was a lover of music thereby showcasing her music talents both in church and some other cultural group in the town.
Her burial attracted a lot of important dignitaries, especially celebrity from within and outside Nigeria.
Speaking after the funeral service, Engineer Femi who could still not hold back his emotions said, “Mama passionately played her motherly roles in my life; the bond between the two of us was so deep. I could recall my childhood days with her, infact she breastfed me for over six years. She always assured and encouraged me there is nothing God cannot do and I so much believe in those assuring and edifying words on a daily basis. I repeat again, I will miss my mother.
“I will truly miss my mother’s prayers, her smiles, mannerism, etc. She was a mother every child would be proud to have, she was a mother like no other. Her presence positively transformed my life in countless and remarkable ways.”
Mama survived by Ms Comfort Asegbeloyin, Engineer Femi Asegbeloyin and Ireti Asegbeloyin and numerous grandchildren.
