She grew up as a young girl in Oporoza with her father, mother, and other relatives. Thereafter she moved to Benin to stay with her father's relative for a couple of years before she came back to Oporoza.

She was an easy going woman; a mother who easily forgives, does not discriminate against anyone, loves all, a home builder, hardworking mother, never takes delight in destroying marriages but rather builds and unites. She was a peaceful, loving and caring person.

We shall all forever remember her. Rest in God's Perfect Peace.
