The family of Late Mrs. Josephine Nwaododo on Saturday, October 25, 2026, marked the one-year anniversary of her passing.

Mrs. Nwaododo, who was buried on October 25, 2025, was remembered as family members and well-wishers gathered exactly one year after to celebrate her life and legacy.

In an emotional tribute, her son, Mr. Friday Nwaododo, described what he misses most about her as her daily morning calls.

"My mother would call me every morning. When I answered, she would say she just wanted to hear my voice and then ask about the children. Since she left, I have not received such calls and I miss her so much," he said.

Nwaododo also recalled that the late matriarch never missed a celebration, particularly birthdays, where she was always the first to call.

Speaking on coping with the loss, he disclosed that he now looks up to his elder sister as a mother figure, noting that "my sister cannot stay for a week without calling me."

He expressed profound gratitude to friends, relatives and well-wishers who turned out en masse for both the burial last year and the one-year memorial.

"When we buried her, I was so impressed by the large number of people who came out. The same thing has repeated itself today. In this life, everybody is very, very important to each other," he added.

Meanwhile, in a tribute signed on behalf of the family,  Mr. Chukwuemeka Nwaododo, said the motherly care they received from their mother would never be forgotten.

He explained that their mother taught them the importance of love for one another, adding that she impacted their lives and society at large.

He prayed that the love of God will continue to keep and protect the entire family.
