Tinuade Olayemi Adesola - Online Gedenkwebseite

It is painful to lose a loved one but as Chritians, a life well spend on earth guarantee us of enternal life in the bossom of thy Lord. No doubt during her stay on earth many lives were positively touched. Mama, may Almighty God grant your Soul a perfect rest in Jesus name. Amen.

Madam as you depart from earth on a journey to the great beyond to meet with the creator of heaven and earth, we pick comfort in the word that " O death, where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory?...But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
You are a Victor

Rest in Perfect Peace
From Dada Oluwaseun and Family

Tinuade, my sister. What can I say? I have been trying to get my thoughts together since your sad passing away last Wednesday.

I guess I will rather focus on the way I remember you. Yours was a truly beautiful soul. Right from our first days in St Loui, Ibadan, I noticed the attributes of a true friend in you. Right through to our days in England and even after school, this did not change. We sure had fun. I remember the sound of your giggles when you were having a good time.

Despite your health challenges, you faced life squarely and made sure you excelled. You were very dignified and carried on gracefully, never putting pressure on the people around you. You were a very focused and disciplined person.  You were very dependable and loyal, always punctual and well behaved. These qualities endeared you to my family members and friends. You were a trues Christian.

Just a few weeks back, we attended the burial ceremony of Ebun Banjoko's mother together. It was a pleasant reunion for our school mates who were present there. No one had an inkling that we were about to lose you. Two weeks ago, you invited Kemi and I over for a chin wag and a chance to catch up. We did not know you were trying to bond with us for the last time. With hind sight, I wish I had made the effort to see you last Sunday since you could not make Yinka's daughter's wedding.

It's been a real privilege having you as a friend. You can never be replaced, Tinuade. You will be sorely missed. 

My heart goes out to your husband, 'Sir Lowo', the children, Mummy and Daddy, Nike, Ade, the various family members and well wishers. May the Almighty God grant all those you left behind the grace to carrt on from where you left off.

Sleep on dearly beloved! I believe you are at the feet of the Lord!

Sun Re o Tinuade! Sun Re 

I really don’t know the actual word to register the rude shock with which I received this sad news. Although I did not have the opportunity to relate with her personally, I have a very vivid recollection of her gentle and amiable personality. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace and may God grant the entire family members the fortitude to bear this great irreparable loss.

Monday 3rd December 2012 we met as usual at the kitchenet and as usual jisted about tasteless teas & coffees - without sugar, without milk all in an attempt to keep trim and look good. Wednesday 5th she has been translated - away from pain & sorrow; into endless rest.
Surely by & by, when that morning comes we will understand why HIS ways are so different from ours. Those we want, HE takes away when we still want them around and those we don't want .........

My 1st meeting with Tinu was official. She wanted to clear her expense and didn't have a clue about how to go about it. I was too busy to create the assistance she wanted. She patiently disarmed me with smiles I couldn't resist. We became friends.

The very next Sunday in Church, the father, Elder Ajayi fondly told me of her daughter in my office. I returned to the office to tease her about how her father wants her to be my 'office mother'. We became close.

It's difficult to describe Tinu - Quiet in a unique way. Jistful in a purposeful way. Beautiful in a BABY-FINE way. The kitchenet is not the same again.

Till we meet at HIS feet to part no more. Goodnight Tinuade

I sat down to think about my impression of you over these few years and it was obvious that I did not see what others saw in you.

Unlike many others, I saw:

The fighter that fearlessly and fiercely championed the development and promotion of her team members against all odds.

The friendly but firm supervisor who will passionately give everyone latitude to excel but will aways demand accountability from team members.

The hardworking and diligent woman who will vehemently defend her position on issues but will humbly defer to anyone with superior arguement

The woman with a harmless and innocent smile who will touch everyone with her warm and large heart

A woman who unlike many others preached the gospel of Christ loud enough for many to hear through her lifestyle

You were few hours away from the final departure from this sinful world but was still full of smiles and appreciation for friends and families at her bedside.

You challenged death courageously and won the final battle in victory.

It was a great pleasure to have known and worked with you

At your bed side on that fateful Wednesday morning, you spoke warmly and calmly to me but I never knew it was for the last time.

Sleep well my dear sister and mentor as you have challenged all of us to live more purposefully.

I first met Tinu on a windy autumn day in October 1979 when we both found ourselves in the department of Economics of the University of Hull as students. It was quite nice and refreshing to see a pretty Nigerian face.

Tinu, Hefty, Deborah Kironde, Janet, Charles Amu and a few  of us went on thereafter to become quite  good friends, and we hung out quite a bit with Cuthbert, Abe and Yemi joining us from the college.

Hefty was in particular very fond of Tinu especially when he found that she was Janjaiye’s sister, (I think Hefty and Janjaiye were both in Loyola). Very soon Tinu became like our sister, always in her gentle and quiet way trying to caution our little excesses, I can still see her in her blue wool winter coat and a scarf tightly wrapped round her neck and her brown bag in which she had her neatly arranged lecture notes and files, walking up and down the corridors of Hull University in her sort sharp steps.

Tinu was always well turned out, stylish and pretty, ever polite, ever calm and though she could always put up a good argument , especially with Hefty in defense of Nigerian girls, she never once raised her voice or lost her temper.

Through her I met her ever charming parents who would come up to Hull, (Her father was the Nigeria’s Deputy High Commissioner at the time)  once in a while to visit and to make sure everyone was fine.

I particularly remembered them taking all of us to dinner shortly after our graduation in 1982 then accepting me as one of theirs  and seeing them regularly on RCCG camp ground at the Holy Ghost Services and other programmes.

Tinu was, (it’s difficult to refer to her in the past) one of the nicest, most responsible, diligent and extremely well behaved people I have ever known, she had this care and concern for every one. I was particularly happy when she got married to Adesola Adelowo, I knew she would make him a wonderful wife.

We didn’t see too often but whenever we saw, we always had this lovely brother-sisterly banter that we shared, it was always so great to catch up. Only 3 weeks ago I still saw her looking fresh and radiant at a dinner event in VI and we exchanged our usual banters. Tinu has and will always be special to me and a group of us who were in Hull together.

Tinu! what can I say? All I can say is that you are a really great person and you would be greatly missed!

The Lord be with all of us that you left behind, especially your husband Adesola, the children, your very lovely Parents, your biological Siblings, and us your sibling from another mother. We truly appreciate our friendship and your love and care.

May the Lord bless us all!

Mrs Adesola! Your smile, your words of advice, your gentleness... all the loving seeds which you have sown into our lives can never die. I wish I could turn back the hands of the clock to have just a few more days and listen more to your words of Godly counsel....Sleep well in the bossom of your LORD and Saviour.

Hmmmm, It is true that Tinu is actually gone to be with the Lord. You were a gentle soul and had a trust inspiring personality. After our paths crossed at Promasidor Nig. Ltd, you remained a dear sister even we we all went separate ways in pursuit of career. I am consoled by the fact that you were a believer and God knows why He called you home so early. He will surely comfort us all till we all meet to part no more.
Rest in peace Mrs Adesola. 

A wonderful person. You have run the race and it is God's time for you to go. Rest in peace. Taiwo
