I am deeply saddened by the passing of Lola Fe. It’s hard to find the right words to express the pain of losing someone so kind, warm, and full of love.
I can still vividly remember the first time we talked and it was during the pandemic. We spoke about God, and even though we may not have met personally, I truly felt her love and care for me. She always made sure to send me copies of her daily devotions, reminding me to stay strong in faith and to trust in God no matter what.
Lola Fe also supported me in ways I will never forget. She helped me financially with my academics, showing not only her generosity but also her belief in me. Because of her, I felt encouraged to keep going and to do my best. I even had the honor of mentioning her support in my valedictory address in high school, just a small way of showing how much she meant to my journey.
I will forever be grateful for her kindness, her guidance, and the love she gave so selflessly. Though she may no longer be with us, her impact on my life will always remain in my heart.
Rest in peace, Lola Fe. You will always be remembered and deeply missed.

A beautiful mentor who loved the LORD. If you were hurt, you could go to her. She was friend in trouble. She had a big heart. To feed poor schoolchildren. To find jobs for people. To build homes for homeless. Always remembering Sis Fe, for her steadfast and faithful leadership in the church. She had a heart for women who were abused. She was faithfully contributing devotions to our group and others as well. She loved to host get togethers in her house in AUH. And the list goes on….
I know her homecoming would have been special. She is now with JESUS whom she loved dearly.
We are always on borrowed time with individuals like her. I thank GOD HE chose to cross our paths.
Miss you Sis Fe

Flora! Our deepest condolences over your mum age’s passing. Whilst I am sure she was ready and as her family also were, and that we believe that people who hearken to God and who love God will share in His glorious presence in heaven, the grief of losing your mum can be incomprehensible… heavy and deeply hurtful. As we pray for eternal rest for Fe, we also pray for you and all your family, for peace in your hearts and courage to face the void Fe leaves behind.

Flora and family. Condolences on the passing of your Mum. Thanks for shareing her history (as a diplomat) – for she sounded like on heck of a lady. A well travelled, wisened soul that touched many. Makes me appreciate were you have come from and the strengths that you’ve drawn on. How proud she must be that her “diplomatic brats” (as you laughingly call yourselves) have all grown up and done so well. What a legacy! Now it’s time to celebrate her life. To carry her ‘flaming candle of life’ and let that shine in our hearts for all to see. While she’s now at peace with God, we’ll need to carry on the flame to share with others. Your in our thoughts as you celebrate her life, laughs and loving memories, and the legacy that she nurtured and created. Love Stephan Jagers – FoxPlan ltd

Dearest Lola Fe,
I have always loved your face, and always will, despite telling you I didn’t when we first met at two years of age.
Thank you for your endless love. It was always felt, no matter how far apart we were.
Rest in peace to our graceful matriarch. Missing your beautiful face! Love you forever, Jesse
