I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I Read Obituary

More often than not, saying goodbye is a painful thing. Now, it’s a mixture of pain, and joy

Mama was a woman of greatness. She was an example for her generation and those that followed. As the first female graduate she paved the way for female empowerment and education in our family and all around her

It is a testament to her indomitable spirit that everyone who lived with her pursued higher education. She was a woman beloved by all. Mama was a great wife, mother, teacher, grand mother, friend and believer of Christ

It is painful to say goodbye but also joyful that she lived a life that was one for the books. It is joyful that she left her footprints positively in all who came in contact with her.

Continue to rest in the embrace of Christ till we meet again in Heaven our beloved Mama❤️

“Miss” as we all often referred to her, was a very beautiful woman of substance, very straight, vocal and a heart of love

When I think of her, the first thing that comes to mind is her love, commitment and devotion to her late husband – Ikhaz Yakubu, my dearest brother and father. She stood by her husband through thick and thin until his last breath. Mommy was a very patient wife and mother. To say she would do anything for her family is an understatement. She was a very dedicated mother to so many people, an honest teacher who was very devoted to her role as head master

But of all things, she was passionate about in her life, nothing compared to the love she had for her late beloved husband, Mr. Yakubu as she always called with affection. They both played an enormous role in my life.

Mommy, thank you for the support you gave everyone around you. You will be missed more than any words can express.

Rest in Peace forever with your beloved husband.

Good night

Mama
You hold a special place in our hearts. You are going to be surely missed. We are all going to miss your smiles and encouraging words.
Things are going to be different without you. For the rest of our lives, we will be thinking about you. We are going to miss you very much. The care and the prayers, the time you shared telling us about your life experiences. However, time came when you had to go, since we all have to answer to a higher power.
We know you have gone to a better place.

Tribute from Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Tampa Florida

With thankful hearts to God, the Pastor, ministers, workers, and members of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Tampa Florida, celebrate the life of our beloved Chief Mrs. Caroline Emosi Yakubu.

Mama Caroline was a faithful and devoted member of our church. She served God with sincerity, remained steadfast in her commitment to His work, and was exemplary in fulfilling her Christian obligations. Even when age and ill health prevented her from attending church services, her love for God and support for His Kingdom never wavered.

The Bible says in Hebrews 6:10 (KJV):

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”

We thank God for the godly legacy she leaves behind and take comfort in the hope of the resurrection through our Lord Jesus Christ.

To the Yakubu family, we pray that the Lord will strengthen and comfort you during this time. May He grant you His peace and uphold you with His everlasting arms.

Mama Caroline, your faithful service will always be remembered. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace until the resurrection morning. Amen.

Pastor & Pastor Mrs. Kehinde Olajide
& The entire MFM Tampa Family

Mummy was a lovely mother to everyone, I remember once I was still a kid and I was playing with the light of my new watch at night and everyone wanted me to stop playing around and she basically told everyone to let me be a child and enjoy being a kid. It was lovely times… we love you mama..

Grandma was a pillar in our community and paved the way for Female education. The fruits of her life are evident in the consistent educational prowess of all the ladies in our family.

She exemplified what it meant not just to exist but to truly live, impact, and be a stewardess.

We pray to keep the fire she lit burning, to live our lives with discipline, vision, and diligence. To live like tomorrow is not promised and positively impact those who come our way.

Gone but never forgotten, continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ, Grandma.

My mother was a remarkable woman. She believed in the power of education and taught me that knowledge is something no one can ever take away from you. Growing up, she was always pushing me to be the very best version of myself. Whenever I doubted what I was capable of, she would tell me, "You can reach any goal you set in life if you work hard."

She didn't just teach us those values; she lived them. In doing so, she completely changed the trajectory of our family's future. She and Dad took us from Auchi to Lagos, giving us opportunities we could never have imagined. The lives all of us have been blessed to live would not have been possible without the sacrifices she made and the courage she showed long before any of us could fully understand or appreciate them.

Everything we have all accomplished is built on the foundation she laid. I owe so much of who I am to Mom, and I will be forever grateful for her love, her sacrifices, and the values she taught me. I will carry those lessons with me every day for the rest of my life, and I hope to pass them on.
