The Uwechue Family of Ogwashiukwu, Aniocha South Council Area of Delta State has commemorated the twentieth anniversary of their late mother, Barrister Justina Nkiru Uwechue.
Late Barrister Uwechue who is the stepmother of the Anambra State Commissioner for Indigenous Art Works, Tourism and Diaspora Affairs, Mrs Sally Mbanefo, died on the eleventh of May 1999, at the age of fifty-five.
The twentieth anniversary of the late Mrs Uwechue began with a remembrance mass at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church, Ogwashi-Uku, where the Parish Priest, the Reverend Father Paulinus Iwueke, urged the Uwechue’s family not to feel empty or desolated, but to find peace in the fact that their late mother lived an upright and God-fearing life.
The husband of the late Mrs Uwechue, Chief George Uwechue, said his late wife was very supportive and dogged, the traits he recalled she showed during his election and service as a member of the House of Representatives between 1979 and 1983.
Some children of the deceased including her stepdaughter, Mrs Mbanefo, one of her sons, Mr Kwentor Uwechue, and one of her daughters, Doctor Gabriella Nwobu, reminisced on their mom’s liberal and accommodating dispositions towards life and noted that she set a great example for
her children and others.
The twentieth remembrance ceremony of late Mrs Uwechue had friends, relatives and associates who came from different parts of the country to join the family on the occasion.
The late Mrs Justina Uwechue was succeeded by five children and thirteen grand children.
