GREATRIBUNETVNEWS–THE community mourns the loss of Evangelist Roleola, a pillar of kindness, generosity, and faith, who departed on April 17, 2024. Her recent burial ceremony was a testament to the profound impact she had on countless lives.
As a devoted mother and grandmother, Evangelist Roleola’s love and compassion knew no bounds. Her selfless nature and warm spirit earned her the admiration and affection of all who knew her. Her eldest daughter, Mrs. Yetunde Fatoye, fondly remembered her mother’s selfless life, saying:
“My mom embodied selflessness. She sacrificed her own comfort and dreams for our benefit, living her love through every meal, late-night prayer, and tear wiped away. Her hands were strong from labor yet gentle with love. Most importantly, she was a woman of prayer, trusting God for every breakthrough. Her prayers shielded our lives, and I know her faith still covers us.”
Evangelist Roleola’s remarkable career spanned 35 years at the National Library of Nigeria (May 2, 1977 – May 2, 2012), where she significantly contributed to knowledge preservation and dissemination. Her faith journey led her to be ordained as an Evangelist at Wind & Fire Christian Ministry on July 6, 2008, where she faithfully served, touching lives with her teachings and compassion.
Though she’s gone, Evangelist Roleola’s legacy of love, kindness, and faith will forever inspire and uplift all who knew her. May her memory be etched in our hearts.
