The remains of Grace Ifeoma Adichie, the late first female Registrar of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka , and mother of author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has been laid to rest in her hometown Abba, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Saturday, May 1.
Her funeral mass took place at the St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Abba, the Bishop of Awka Catholic Diocese.
Chimamanda’s husband, Ivara Esege, was present to show support and pay his last homage to his mother-in-law.
Kemi Filani will recall that few days ago, the world famous writer and motivational speaker was left devastated after losing her mum, Grace Ifeoma Adichie, just a few months after losing her dad.
“How Does A Heart Break Twice?,” she captioned her Instagram post, which included two pictures of her and her mum, as well as a heartfelt letter.
Paying tribute to her mum, she described her as a “warm, loving, funny, kind, and quick-witted, beautiful mother. Unconditional supporter and cheerleader of her children, fun and funny, source of delicious sarcasm, style icon, so sharply observant she never missed a thing.”
She wrote of how her mother became ill and died on March 1st, her late dad’s birthday.
