It is with a heavy heart, but a deep sense of gratitude to God for a life well-lived for His glory that we announce the passing away of our beloved and devoted wife, loving mother, awesome sister, precious daughter, cherished aunt and kind friend Mosopefoluwa Grace Emmanuel on Friday August 9, 2019 after a protracted illness. Mosopefoluwa passed away peacefully at the Katy, Memorial Hermann Hospital after a protracted illness at 11am on Friday August 09, with her husband of 13 years at her side.
She was born in Abeokuta, Ogun State, southwestern Nigeria to Pastor (Engr.) Femi Adejugba and Mrs. Enitan Adejugba on March 05, 1981. She attended Ogun International Montessori School for her elementary education between 1986 and 1991 and Abeokuta Girls’ Grammar School for her secondary education between 1991 and 1997. She graduated from the prestigious (Nigeria Ivy League) Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State with a BA (combined honors) in Philosophy/Psychology in 2002 and won the Lady Yvonne Akinyele Prize for the best female graduating student and the University prize for overall second-best graduating student in the faculty of Arts (2002 set).
She met her husband, Dr. Olusanmi ‘Tunde Emmanuel during her National Youth Service Corps posting in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State in February 2004 and the two got married in September 2006. They are blessed with three wonderful children – Tolu, Tomi and Tobi. Due to her love of learning, she proceeded to the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK in 2009 to study for M.H.R. degree with a major in Human Resources Management and Services and graduated with an almost perfect GPA in 2011, just months after the birth of her second child.
Mosope was a dedicated Christian whose faith in her Lord and Savior never wavered until her final breath. She loved her husband and treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She was a great blessing to her family and in-laws and had a very warm personality that made people around her feel most welcomed and loved. She was never seen with a frown and always managed a smile no matter what difficulties she may personally be going through.
Prior to moving to the USA in 2009, Mosope worked for Industrial Development Communications Ltd and Zenith Bank in Lagos, Nigeria. Since graduating from the University of Oklahoma, Mosope has worked for American Trucking Business, Denver Human Services, DNV GL and EnTouch Systems Incorporated. She co-founded Acetop Energy LLC, Houston, Texas and Acetop Energy Associates Ltd, Lagos, Nigeria - an energy consulting, training, recruitment and procurement company, with her husband, business partner and best friend of 16years in October 2016 and was the company’s V.P., Human Resources and Administration until her transition to glory.
Mosope's life was a quiet bundle of testimonies of God's grace, mercies and love. She always found ways to invite others to come to Christ, so they can experience this matchless outpouring of love by the Father of Lights. And up till her final breadth, her testimony continued to bring someone to Christ as a Caucasian male nurse in the emergency room with her accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior, because Mosope had her vitals miraculously restored for another 24hours, after the doctors already concluded she had passed in the morning of Thursday, August 08, 2019.
Like her name, Mosopefoluwa “I give thanks to the Lord” in Yoruba, she was always thankful and joyous. She is being sorely missed by her parents, husband, children, siblings, in-laws, friends and Church family. But we take solace in knowing that she is now resting in the bosom of her Lord and Savior and we will see her again on resurrection morning when the dead in Christ shall rise to life again.
Adieu Mosope Grace Emmanuel. You will forever be in our hearts!
