In Loving Memory of Marietta Nanawa

With heavy hearts but steadfast faith, we announce that our beloved mother, Marietta Nanawa, has gone home to be with God. While her passing leaves a deep ache in our hearts, we find comfort in knowing she now rests in the eternal peace of our Lord.

Marietta was a devoted and faithful woman whose life reflected God’s love in all she did. She was gentle yet strong, devoted yet humble, and steadfast in her faith. As a mother, she gave endlessly of herself—offering unconditional love, guidance, sacrifice, and prayer for her family. Her children were her greatest blessing, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

Her faith was the foundation of her life. She trusted in God’s promises and lived with quiet grace and dignity. Through both joyful and difficult seasons, she remained prayerful and faithful, always believing that the Lord was her shepherd and her strength.

Marietta’s warmth, kindness, and compassionate heart touched everyone who knew her. She had a way of comforting others, listening without judgment, and making people feel seen and loved. Her legacy is one of faith, love, resilience, and devotion.

Though we grieve her absence, we take comfort in knowing she is now embraced in God’s eternal love, reunited with Him in peace. As Isaiah 66:13 reminds us, “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.”

Her legacy of faith, love, and devotion will continue to guide and inspire us always.
