SUDDEN DEATH OF KENYAN ARCHBISHOP’S WIFE - MU PRESIDENT

The sudden death has occurred of Mama Caren Nakhumicha Wabukala wife of Archbishop Dr. Eliud Wabukala the Primate of the Anglican Church of Kenya.  This happened on Sunday night 5th September after she had attended a colourful consecration and enthronement service of the second bishop of the Diocese of Nairobi.  

Mama Caren was jovial and had the pleasure of welcoming Mama Tabitha (Wife of the new bishop) within the service.

In the evening at about 8.00 p.m. Mama Caren collapsed in the house and was rushed to Nairobi Hospital where after examination was pronounced dead.  This was happening as the Archbishop checked in at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on his way to London for a Global South meeting scheduled to begin today 6th. September.  However,his staff managed to contact him before he boarded.

The Archbishop has expressed desire to have a memorial service at 2.00 p.m. on Thursday 9th September, 2010 at All Saints’ Cathedral, Nairobi.  The body will be laid to rest on Saturday 11th September, 2010 at Kibeu Village, Butonge Location in Bungoma Diocese.  Please pray for the Archbishop, the family members and the Mothers’ Union in Kenya of which Mrs Wabukala was Provincial President.

The Provincial Vice President of MU Kenya had a stroke last week and is in hospital at the moment and also needs our prayers, together with the office bearers.

Please also pray for the family of Johanna Haizel, Diocesan President of Cape Coast, West Africa, who died whilst in the USA after attending an MU conference. It was quite sudden, it is felt she had a heart attack.
