"You have gone with your kind heart. Only remembered by the good you did. I will never forget the day I admired your head gear and the very next Sunday you brought me a replica of what you were wearing. How far you can go to love others, leaves me in awe. Go rest daughter of God."

— ELIZABETH FON

"It has been hard for me to process the fact I’d never see my aunty, Ma Mary on this earth again. I am however, thankful for the life she lived and grateful for who she was in my life. Ma Mary was an exceptional aunty and she was always present in my life. She cared about me and my children in ways I never imagined. My life at the University of Buea was much easier because I had an aunty closed by who cared and was always present. Even after I had my son and sent him to Cameroon while I continued my studies in the US, Ma Mary always checked on him and made sure he didn’t need anything.
I appreciate Ma even more now that I’m an aunty myself because I’m not sure how she did all she did.
I thank God for the life she lived, the love she showered and the lives she touched. I’m also thankful that she lived a good and fulfilled life and she didn’t die and untimely death, but was ready to meet her Lord, her mom and her siblings. May the souls of Ma Mary, my beloved father, grandmother and aunty continue to rest in peace.

With love,

Becky"

"My dear Mama, thank God for who you were in all the lives you touched especially in my family.
May your love and kindness be imitated by us to God's Glory.
Rest in perfect peace from all the troubles of this world till we meet in Glory.
Forever in our hearts, Easter"

"A Tribute to a great friend and sister, full of humour, energy and great personality. Mary Manga did not only walk into a room she brightened it. On the 6th February,
2o26, the world got a little quieter with the passing


of a truly one of a kind soul. She lives behind a void that will be hard to complete. She was committed in everything she did, she was generous to a fault, always cheerful
and caring. We miss you very much. Rest in the bosom of the Lord. Adieu.
Your friend, Mary Dioh"

"Tribute to My Dear Ma Mary

Ma Mary was more than a remarkable woman—she was a presence of warmth, kindness, and genuine love. She had a beautiful way of touching lives, and I am deeply grateful that mine was one of them.

Every time she came to Lagos, she never failed to reach out, to check on me, to connect. And whenever I was in London, she welcomed me with such care—always wanting me close, always taking me out, always making me feel special. That was who she was—intentional, loving, and deeply human.

Ma Mary lived a life of impact, quiet strength, and generosity of spirit. She gave so much of herself to others, and her legacy will continue to live on in the many lives she touched.

My prayer is that God grants her family comfort, peace, and strength in this difficult time. And may her beautiful memory continue to linger with us, guiding and inspiring us always.

Rest well, dear Ma Mary. You will never be forgotten.

"Tribute to AuntyMary . We meet with people everyday but the duration of our relationship depends on how we interact with one another. - Aunty Mary as we fondly called you. Your freind Katy's family finally became an extended arm of your family. Aunty nothing plants a man in the hearts of the living than their good deeds. The name Aunty Mary became a house hold name. Aunty you have just stepped down from the train of life. - A life When you gave so much of yourself to those around you. I remember; you never came to Buea without visiting your freind katies project in those days with motivations and words of encouragement to the workers. - We use this opportunity to express our gratitude to your brother Gabriel who has always been part and parcel of you in your good deeds. You naturally reacted to any events in our family. -Aunty we miss you. We miss your soft; gentle and hospitable moods. - We sow in this world to reap in the world beyond so be it with you. " Till we meet again may the Almighty grant you a perfect and peaceful rest. ... Pa Sameh Emmanuel"

"OH death! What have you done to me like this?
Mama Marie Mamga, you were a good example of those whom God Almighty had created to be as a helper to the downtrodden, you were a father and mother to me times of need.
A bawba tree has fallen. Your departure Ma Marie has left a big vacuum in my life and my family.
May your good deeds, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and for the wonderful love you had for humanity accompany you safely to your final resting place in God side.
We love you so much but God has a perfect plan for your life because this world is not our home for we are only strangers here.

Journey well mother."

"My dear friend,

Though I knew you had been unwell, I still held on to hope that you would get better. Hearing of your passing filled my heart with deep sadness. You will always have a special place in my heart, and I will cherish your memory always.

I remember the days when I was still in Kumba and how you would always visit whenever you were in Cameroon. Later, when we were both in Douala, our friendship became even closer. The memories we shared, the love, and the bond we built are treasures I will carry with me forever.

You were such a peaceful and loving person. You were kind, generous, and always ready to make others happy. You had a beautiful way of making people feel loved, welcomed, and cared for. Your warmth and loving spirit touched so many lives.

Thank you for the gift of your friendship and for the love you gave so freely. May the Lord Jesus Christ, whom you served faithfully, welcome you into His eternal rest and perfect peace.

Until we meet again, dear friend, farewell."

"My dearest Mary, My heart, my friend, my big sister, It is so hard to accept that you are gone. Writing these words feels heavy, bc a part of me still wants to believe I will see you again, hear your voice, and feel your warmth. I keep holding on to the memory of the last time I saw you in October before I returned to the U.S. If only I knew it would be the last time- I would have held you longer, spoken more, visited you again and again and never wanted to let go.
Ma Mary, you were there for me when I needed you most. When I was sick at Muna clinic and felt so weak, so close to giving up, you stood by me. You cared for me with so much love and so much kindness.
The pain of losing you is deep, but I find comfort knowing the life you lived was full of purpose and love.
You fought your battles with courage, you stayed strong and you never lost your faith.
Truly you have fought the good fight, you have finished your race, and you have kept the faith.
Now I know you are resting, held in God’s embrace, wearing your crown of righteousness.
Still my heart aches bc I will miss you every single day.
Goodnite, my dear Mary,
Rest gently, my sister, my friend…. Until we meet again"

— Clara Lobe

"My dear Maa Mary,
I was very heartbroken when Gabriel announced to me that you've " gone to rest. Heartbroken because of who you were to me: a bad weather friend always reminding me of my worth, always coming to help during difficult times and always asking me not to let my hope wither.
When I last saw you I was very happy because you were joyful,confident and forthcoming like once upon a time despite your health condition. Those who have seen the light canot unsee it. You saw the earthly light and I am sure you've gone beyond to see divine light.
Go...please go and meet your lord to rest within the divine light."

— Dr. EYISAB ASHU EGBE MARTIN

"Dear grandma,
It hunts me so deep that you are no more. The moment I heard about your departure, I felt so sad that I didn't even know how to overcome this pain. I remember when I paid you a visit with my Dad in January before returning to school, l was worried about your health condition but you told it was well.
I had hope that the Lord was going to heal you through the prayers and medical care.
Little did I know that it was my last time of seeing and talking with you.
I know it is God's will and we can not question Him on why He had to that.
One thing I know and believe is that you are with Him above.
Grandma I promise to make you an proud be the God's girl you wanted me to be.
I will take good care of Daddy and Mummy as you said.
Thank you for all the Care and love. I will forever miss you.
Adieu grandma
Your granddaughter
MARIE -BECCA."

""MY ELIJAH IS GONE"
The story of our journey together in life began on the 27th of March 1994, when I came to Douala from Bemenda to spend two weeks with you as late Christopher Gana who served you at the time was on two weeks vacation. The two weeks then turned into a life time story of 32 years, during which you put an indelible mark in my life.
You embraced and nurtured me like a biological son.
You showed me the love of a mother such that my mother called me your son.
You gave me shoulder to lean on.
You gave me a good moral and Christian upbringing.
You took me to places I would never had been.
You boosted my morals.
You supported me during difficult moments.
You cared for my entire family.
You built relationships for me that I will for ever cherish.
You built a lovely family for me; Felicia, Laura,Marie-Becca and my entire family will live to miss you.
Book pages can not contain our gratitude for this unconditional love you showed us.
I owe you a debt I can never pay.
You were a woman with a heart of gold.
You never disregarded any relationship.
You were a public relations officer in all your circles. I will miss your songs, prayers and animations.
You needed to know just one member of a family to take care of the entire family.
Your generosity was exceptional across boundaries as you showered all and sundry with gifts.
It wasn't a mistake that you were named after the mother of Jesus.
God's favor located you.
You were a strong woman of faith and served God with devotion.
Your faith was examplary as you fought ill health, business, family and societal challenges.
I will keep your legacy and keep mourning you with a grateful heart because I know that you are with your saviour for eternal rewards.
The blessing that you put on my palms on your sick bed will play the role that Elijah's cloak played to Elisha.
FAREWELL MY ELIJAH

Your faithful servant

"It is with a heavy heart that I write to honor the life of our beloved senior sister, Ma Mary. The name Awunti forced her to come closer to me and pull me to her side, more than 30 years after my father left the scene.
Her kindness touched everyone she met. She was a guiding light, always ready to support, encourage, and uplift those around her. Her gentle spirit and warm smile made even the hardest days feel lighter. She lived a life full of compassion, always being there for others. To many, she was not just a sister but a mentor, a friend, and a source of strength. Her words were wise, her actions sincere, and her love was genuine.
Though she is no longer with us, the impact of her goodness will continue to live on in our hearts. We will remember her laughter, her generosity, and the beautiful way she cared for others. Her life was a blessing, and her memory will forever be a treasure to us all.
SBC Girl #3 rest peacefully, knowing you were deeply loved, will be truly missed, and will never be forgotten.

"Hello Mummy, why do I have to write you a eulogy when you won't even read or hear me out? But as a sign of what I feel inside of me and who you have been to me, allow me express my heart in your absence. I thank you for loving me as your own. Your generous and kind heart towards me and my ministry is something I will never forget. You acted as a mother to me and wished me well. You always told me I will succeed and that I should forget what anyone did to make my ministrerial life difficult. I bought your piece of advice and I am forging ahead. Thanks for being a true mother to a son like me. Rest well with your Maker. I still remember our last prayer session in your room in Douala when you personally called me to come pray for you and with you. In my Spirit I knew it was our last meeting and you did well to invite me over. I led you to confess Jesus Christ as your only Lord and Saviour. With this I strongly believe you're with Him. Rest well Mother."

"Tribute to Ma Mary Augustine on behalf of the CWF Greater London.

Today, we pause with heavy hearts yet deep gratitude to honor the life of Ma Mary Augustine — a woman whose presence was a quiet blessing and whose legacy will continue to live in all who knew and loved her.
Ma Mary was more than member, mother, grandmother, and friend; she was a pillar of strength, a well of wisdom, and a source of unconditional love. Her kindness spoke in gentle words and thoughtful actions, always putting others before herself. She had a way of making everyone feel seen, valued, and at home in her presence.
Through every season of life, she carried herself with grace and resilience. Whether in times of joy or hardship, she remained steadfast, guided by faith, compassion, and an unwavering spirit. Her laughter brought comfort, her guidance brought clarity, and her love brought unity to those around her.
Though she may no longer walk beside us, her influence will never fade. It lives on in the lessons she taught, the values she instilled, and the countless memories she leaves behind. In every act of kindness, every moment of patience, and every expression of love, we carry a part of her forward.
Ma Mary Augustine will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Her life was a gift to this world, and her legacy is a light that will continue to shine in our hearts forever.
May her soul rest in eternal peace."

"Ma Mary, this is aunty Alice talking to you. We had this fond name 'aunty' that sent both of us laughing and excited.
Where do I start with you, it is difficult because you were all over with me right in my young age until adulthood. What can I remember, is it the set of plates you bought for me when I just got married, received me at Gatwick Airport, the first time I landed in UK, driving all the way from London to Reading University to visit me, gave me good treats at Frobisher Rd and some good dinners, gifts, and reception in your beautiful home at Kadji flat, the list is long. And above personal support you were such a community development woman supporting any good initiatives for the service of humanity. Can I forget the huge financial support you gave to Fed Fed Yaounde to launch the Nkumu Fed Fed magazine' Ngam Ngong' that was published. You followed in the footsteps of your late mum, Na Rebecca, in demonstrating your strong faith and service in God's vineyard by all that you did in the various church communities you belong. A woman indeed with a golden heart and your generosity had no boundaries.
My darling big sister, Ma Mary, you may be gone but you are alive in my live, for the memories of you are fresh everyday as I remember you.
Njid mbɔ̀nket ni boni bì Yesu."

— Ma Alice Lima

"Mommy,
You were a lovely mom. At my young age in secondary school ( GTC) Bamenda you used to come from Europe and take me, Rose your cousin and Vero your junior sister to Ideal Park Hotel where we used to eat and drink, enjoy ourselves in the Club. You made us discovered modern life at our young ages. You used to provide us with dresses and allowances.
While in Douala the story became wonderful. When you discovered me in PC Bossadi, I became a new born baby to you. You made me surprises by offering gifts and celebrating my birthday. I will never forget the day you took me to Limbe down beach for fish enjoyment and relaxing. You showed all confidence you had in me to the Bali Community in Douala by proposing me to second you in command as the Women's leader though .... When I built my house you came and blessed my home with prayers and told me you are proud of me.
When I heard of your illness last year and visited you at your Immeuble Kahji's résidence, you proofed to be getting strong. I often came and you convinced everyone around that all was going to be fine. You asked me to come and past the night with you and while I was preparing to do so, you left.
Mommy I know you were a woman of faith. Heaven must have received you with joy. Till we meet to part no more, Adieu."

"MA MARY-OUR BELOVED SISTER
At the break of that faithful day, February 06th 2026, the saddest and darkest day that ever existed, when dark clouds overshadowed everything in us, our limbs and bones broken and that we feared our progress except for constant and continuous flow of tears.
The unpleasant messages flowing into our media, echoing every second just to remind us lest we forget. And at last, it was done on us, that Ma Mary our beloved sister, heir of Mammon Rebecca was no more.
Amongst the many social lessons you taught mankind and us, was to love God and do His will thereby adhering to "Seeking First The Kingdom of God ....."(Lk 12:31)
And as such nothing can ever measure the pains we bear as result of the sad news of your quick passage without a word.
Ma Mary, you reached out and touched many lives so cordially. Your generosity had no limits.
Your strong belief in our Lord Jesus Christ as in "loving God and taking care of His Sheep" was so astonishing that thousands of lips are hereby testifying.
Your courage in the face of adversities remain an inspiration to many and who are eager to own.
But why such a quick departure only to deprive us of such values that we are realizing its importance only in your absence?
When I think of an Angel I see you 100% in active Service, a one with only good thoughts about others. When talking to others your voice is so soothing that always brought any mountains of flared anger down to dust, a way of life that many admired and would proudly recommend for copying and especially when I used to hear in that cool voice "Ni St e" and now from whom again?
Beside the social values, Ma Mary, you were that pillar that held the family of Ba Nkwah together and now gone, what becomes of the kids and kins left behind? But by the Grace of the Almighty God, He and Him alone will "drive away flies from tail-less cows".
By the above few legacies and many not mentioned as in 1corinthians 13 we are consoled that your path to eternity is smoothened and we are positive that the Good Lord will gently receive your soul with joy as you make your journey with the Lord in the way to the cross. "What a beautiful day to be called unto Glory".
Carry over goodwill messages to our forgone relations and who we pray should never relent

"Auntie, my Auntie
Words cannot even describe the pain I am feeling right now.

Auntie, my Auntie you came in 2011 to pick me up and together we travelled to the UK. I cried from Douala to London, cried because I was leaving my barely one year son behind, cried because I was going to a place where I thought I had no one.
You took me in your arms and told me "you're a strong girl small Annick, you will fine and I will be there for you".
Auntie you became my family in UK, you made sure to drop me at Coventry, paid for my student accommodation, before going back to London. You called me every week to make sure I was adjusting, you came and visited me. Every time I saw that warm smile on your face I was reassured, everything was gonna be ok.
My love for Turkish food was because of you auntie, you always brought me to a Turkish restaurant when I came to London to check on you.
Auntie, my Auntie I can only be grateful I had the chance to be a small part of your life.
Auntie, my Auntie Marie I pray your soul rest in peace, You're not suffering anymore.

Auntie, my Auntie Marie, you did well on earth, thank you for your love, thank you for the advices, thank you for everything you did for me.

With all my love my Auntie, my Auntie Marie.

"*Ma Mary — Saker 003, All-Girls-Era Sweetheart*
(1948-2026)

She walked into *Saker Baptist College* Limbe in ’63 — Saker girls only, uniforms pressed, hopes louder — and left 003 stamped on her heart. Manchester added a master’s; life added Pascal, her beloved son, and a habit of giving: money, time, the last puff-puff on the plate.

Nurse-manager in London, WHO consultant, Douala lab founder — titles she wore lightly. What mattered: she funded school fees for nieces, showed up for Bali meetings, laughed till her shoulders shook, and made the Presbyterian front pew feel like family. Giver. Philanthropist. Lover of life’s small things (hot tea, proverbs, clean wards).

We miss her badly, but Saker’s #003 taught us love is practical. Rest, Ma — we’ll keep setting an extra plate."

"Ma Mary, learning that you have moved on has left a heavy silence in my heart. Today, my thoughts are flooded with cherished images of Bali, the place where I spent my earliest years and where we shared such unforgettable moments.

I hold tightly to the memories of learning Mungaka, surrounded by your innate warmth, joy, and selfless care. I cannot forget your guidance, protection and helping me to integrate into Saker Baptist College a boarding school in Limbe. Your life was a masterclass in humility and love, filled with qualities that inspire everyone who knew you.

Alongside my family, I send my deepest condolences to your loved ones and bid you a peaceful journey. Your kindness has left a permanent mark on our lives and will never be forgotten.

Farewell, Ma Mary.

"It is with a heavy heart that I learned of the transition into Glory of Ma Marie Augustine.
I knew Ma in 2014 at the Yaounde Gyneco Obstetric and Pediatric hospital where I am an administrative staff.
Ma had a company REMAGA that supplied laboratory reagents to the hospital.
My services rendered to Ma drew her closer to me. She took me as a son, Each time she came to the hospital, she will pass by to check on me. She called me "My Son" She was so motherly, soft spoken and God fearing.
Her generosity was beyond measures.
The love she had for me gave me reasons to check on her by phone regularly.
As time went by, I saw her getting challenged by her health situation, but she kept trusting God.
Our last communication dates August 31st 2024.
She never responded to any of my messages till she departed.
Elder Gabriel VESUS happens to be thd only person I know as Ma's Family. He reliably told me Ma was in London for intensive care but later came back home.
In Romans 14:8 , it is written
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or we die, we belong to the Lord.
May your gentle soul RIP.
Till we meet again."

"Mama Manga Marie Augustine was best known for her warm, true and contagious smile. She was a simple, humble, and generous mother. Her generosity touched the community especially I as she supplied lab reagents to DMMC. She was my mentor and adviser. She was determined, strong and courageous even in her last days. I am grateful for you mother for demonstrating spiritual attitude and righteousness. You reflected God's un_ending thoughts and God's constant presence in your life (psalm 139:7).

"Ma Mary,
As we fondly called you.
I miss the day I found you in Saker Baptist College, Limbe.
Ma Mary this days were full of new experiences leaving the confort of our homes.
Your Love Care and Concern for those you met, showed your deep concern for your people.You will always during holidays in Saker convince all the North West girls to make a stop in Kumba n put up with my family before leaving for Bamenda the following day. This can only be your deep Love for all of us. This brought about real family ties between us that can NEVER be forgotten.
Your usual visits to Cameroon from the Uk was usually very interesting. Your furst port if call was in Limbe to visit me n arrange with our classmates. Instead of us welcoming you, you took up the entertainment whereas we are to welcome you. Is this not the real show of Love Unity n Sisterhood.
Ma Mary I persinally am.missing you a lot. My last visit to you in Douala after your furst discharge from hospital gave me confidence that all will ve well. Little did I kniw that this will be mylast tiych n feel for you. Ma we all love you but the Lord has decided you meet Him to rest.
Ma Mary asleep in Jesus blessed slerp"

"Mum, your love was the foundation of our family. Though you are gone, your spirit lives within me and I am forever grateful for the gift of being your child. I will carry your lessons with me always and honour you by living with the same kindness you showed everyone"

— Pascal Augustine

"I have known Dr. Marie Manga for many years. Since 1988, whenever she returned to Cameroon, I was often the one who went to pick her up. Even though she had a beautiful Mercedes, she would gladly leave it and sit with me in my small car. That was the kind of person she was, simple, humble, and full of love.

I remember when I took my first flight to Malabo. She was so excited for me that she called my friend, Mr. Anumu Nicolas, and asked him to sew the same dress for both of them so they could welcome me when I came back. She always found special ways to celebrate others and make them feel loved and valued.

Dr. Marie Manga was an exceptionally generous woman. Apart from buying a car and handing me the key, each time she returned from abroad, she never forgot my family. She always brought dresses and gifts for my wife and me. Her joy came from making other people happy.

She truly lived for others. She was always looking for ways to encourage people, support them, and celebrate their victories.

When I became a Senator, she celebrated, prayed, danced, and rejoiced with all her heart. Later, when I completed the construction of my house, she once again showed her love. She bought champagne, drinks, and cooked food herself, gathered friends together, and came to celebrate with singing and prayers.

The love she showed me was very special. Apart from my own mother, no one has ever shown me the kind of motherly love that Dr. Marie Manga gave to me. She treated me truly like her son.

When she became sick, I visited her. When she learnt I was the one, she struggled, and came out from the room held my hands and told me God was in control and everything was going to be fine. I kept on hoping that God would heal her.

After I recovered from my eye accident, I planned to visit her again and show her my healing. I called Gabriel and told him that I would soon come to see Ma Manga. With a very heavy heart, he told me that Ma is gone. That news broke my heart.

For all the decades that I knew Ma Manga, I never once heard her spoke negatively about anyone. She was always kind, peaceful, and full of grace.

To me, she was truly an angel on earth, humble, generous, and good to everyone she met along her path.

She will be greatly missed.

Farewell, Mama.

Your adopted son,
Senator Wanlo Chiamua John"

Na Mary my dear sister, you are really gone. We loved you but what has happened shows that your father the creator loves you more. Lord thank you for the life our sister lived when she was with us. Thank you Na for the lives you touched. You were an exemplary mother.
It is difficult to say Adieu but we have to say it.
Adieu, Adieu Mother.

"Ma, I still can't believe that you are no more. Ma it's me 'My President' as you fondly called me. I remembered when I came to see you we sang, had lunch together and prayed. Your love for me went beyond our relationship and extended to my family. Your love was exhibited in action of peace, joy of being together and above all your generosity that went above all else.
My 'Ndipabongha' the name we called ourselves, Ma I can't recount all here or I will not stop, we know that everything that has a beginning must have an end. Thank you Ma for being in my life and my family. May you rest in the bosom of our Lord till we meet to part no more. 🙏🙏🙏"

"Some people come into our lives by birth and others by destiny. You came into my life not just as an aunty but as a mother, a teacher, and a quiet force who helped shape the woman I am today.
You taught me things that go far beyond what the world can see. Yes you taught me how to dress, how to present myself with elegance and confidence, but more importantly, you taught me how to carry myself. You showed me that true beauty is not just in appearance, but in the strength, grace, and self-respect a woman holds within.From you, I learned what it means to be strong. You showed me how to face life with courage, how to rise when things feel heavy, and how to keep moving forward with pride. The most beautiful lesson you gave me was how to enjoy life. You reminded me that life is not only about surviving it is about living, About laughing freely, appreciating small joys, dressing up not for others but because it makes you feel good, and embracing every moment with gratitude. You didn’t just raise me, you refined me and loved me. Thank you for being more than a mother.
Thank you for being my example, my strength, and one of the greatest blessings in my life. Cheers to the woman who showed me that life can be beautiful and women can be powerful. I will forever miss you"

"Ooh Ma, the world has grown cold without you,
A silence so heavy, so hard to push through.
A bitter pill lodged deep in my chest,
My heart followed you — laid down with the blessed.
Each day my mind echoes the songs that you sang,
The stories, the laughter, the joy that you rang.
I close my eyes gently and almost believe
You are somewhere out there — just beyond what I see.
I listen in stillness for your tender call,
Ma Comfort's child — the sweetest of all.
That name on your lips was a home I once knew,
And some quiet mornings, I still hear it through.
Ma, it is heavy — this grief has no floor,
Yet the crowd at your farewell said more than words bore.
The souls you had touched came in waves, came in streams,
Returning your kindness in fullness, it seems.
Your caring, your giving, your outpouring of love
Now lifts your sweet spirit to Heaven above.
Each tear from each face was a coin that they gave —
The same love you planted came back at your grave.
So go lightly, Ma, let your burden be small,
For the love that surrounds you has answered your call.
We will carry your stories, your songs, and your name,
Till the day we are near you in glory again."

"Tribute to Aunty Ma MARY MANGA
My aunty Ma Mary Manga was very famous for her generosity. A fervent practicing Christian at the Presbyterian Church Bonamoussadi and a member of CWF. I mourn you, Mammy. You loved me with a passion and showered us with gifts and money. You also told us( my mom, sister, and myself about my grandfather the late Rev. JC Kangsen, how he was very kind, because he picked you up from Saker when you were sick and took you to the hospital. His legacy lives on and yours too.
You were an icon and beacon of love ❤️ Everyone who came across you tasted your goodness, and your overwhelming smile just to make people happy. Thank you, mammy.
Rest well in the bossom of your creator whom you served with faith and action.
We love u"

— Billy Kangsen

"You were a wonderful soul, a gift from God to mankind. You were kind, gentle and generous, always putting others' needs above yours. I knew you to be all these and more. May God grant you a peaceful rest in his bosom, and may your legacy continue to inspire all those whose lives you touched and crossed paths with."

— Nseka Henry Ngi

"I knew Ma Mary from when I arrived SBC. Although she was just a year ahead of me we bonded till her passing. My dear friend of all the special gifts in life however small or great to have known you was special.
As you make this journey part of me goes with you as you are always remembered.
Eternal rest grant unto you, May perpetual light shine on you and May you rest in peace 🙏"

— Kofo Anjorin

"Aunty’s kindness and gentle spirit touched me deeply. She always encouraged me, often praising my intelligence and urging me to keep striving. She would sometimes introduce me, or refer to me in our texts and conversations, as “my one and only Feh,” and that was just one of the many ways she made me feel special and deeply valued. Aunty’s words were always simple, direct, and sincere, yet they carried a warmth that stayed with me long after they were spoken. She would also often call just to check on me and my family, a small but constant reminder of how deeply she cared.

Growing up in Douala, I always enjoyed when Aunty was around, as it meant a Sunday visit to her home—moments filled with warmth, conversation, laughter, and care.

Whenever I visited London, she would insist on taking me out for a meal, turning even a brief stop into a cherished time together.

When I made a trip to England to visit Aunty while she was still recovering, she still wanted to do what she always did: take me, my brother, and my friend out for a meal. That was simply who she was—always giving, always thinking of others, even when sick.

Her love, encouragement, and generosity will always stay with me. I will carry her words, her warmth, and her unwavering belief in me throughout my life. Her kindness lives on in the hearts she touched, and I will always be grateful to have been one of them.

Thank you, Aunty, for loving me so generously—you will always remain in my heart."

— Feh Gwanyalla

"Ooh Ma, it has been cold and sad — truly unbelievable.
A bitter pill, difficult to swallow. My heart is there with you in the coffin ⚰️.
My mind echoes daily with the little stories and songs you used to tell and sing.
This makes me believe you are somewhere out there, and that I will soon hear you call me, Ba Fokemban's child.
Ma, it is disheartening, but the many souls you touched through caring, generosity, and an outpouring of love have shown their gratitude in an earth-moving way — with a massive turnout to pay you back in the same coin 🪙.
This assures me that your journey to eternity is a lighter one.
Rest In Peace, Ma 🕊️🕊️

You were the type of mother everyone will love to have. You heart was so open and given to other was a tradition. I can not count the number of gifts I received from you and how you became a life line in the most difficult moments. You knew me from no where but you made me your son. I bless the day I met you. You deserve your rest, for you have faught a good fight. The Almighty God you more. Rest well, Rest well. You hold a special place in my heart ❤️"

"Weh my Boh Mary, I did not have the chance of seeing or talking with you before your departure. For almost nine months, I tried reaching you too no avail. You told me the last time we spoke that you suffered a stroke but you were having therapy. Boh Mary, you never visited Cameroon from London with out visiting me with gifts. Yours was a special heart. Your generosity was beyond measure. It was not only to me that you
extended this love, but you became a member of my family from when my late mother was alive. You will show up unexpectedly in Bokwaongo just to surprise my mother. God will reward you even more in your heavenly abode. Rest in peace my dear friend. I miss your physical presence but know you are in a better place. Adieu Friend."

"Eulogy for Ma Mary Manga
Today we remember with heavy hearts, yet with gratitude to God, to celebrate the life of a remarkable woman—a loving mother, a generous soul, and a faithful servant of God.
Ma Mary was a pillar of love, strength, and faith to our Christian community when I was her Pastor in Bonamoussadi-Douala. Her life reflected the words of Proverbs 31:26: “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” Anyone who met her experienced that kindness.
She was a woman whose hands were always open to give, whose heart was always ready to forgive, and whose home was always open to welcome. Her generosity was not measured by wealth but by the depth of her compassion and the sincerity of her love.
Her Christian faith was not just something she spoke about; it was something she lived every day. Through trials and joys alike, she remained devoted to God, believing firmly in His promises. She prayed always and encouraged those who were weary, and reminded everyone around her that God’s love never fails.
Today, we mourn because we will miss her presence—her warm smile, her wise counsel, and the comforting strength she carried so gracefully. But we also rejoice because we know that for those who live in Christ, death is not the end.
Her legacy remains in the lives she touched, in the family she raised, and in the faith she planted in our hearts.
Though I say goodbye for now, I hold firmly to the Christian hope that this farewell is not forever. One day, by God’s grace, I shall meet her again where there is no more sorrow, no more pain, and no more death.
Dear mother, may your gentle soul rest in the eternal peace of the Lord. Very Rev. Dr. Fonki Samuel Forba."

YOUR CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS ARE SO MANY. SO BELOVED REST PEACEFULLY WITH THE ONE WHO CREATED YOU. REST, ATLAST YOU ARE FREE FROM ALL DESEASES.
SO"

— Ma Syh Masango

"Ma Mary,
I write today not just to say goodbye, but to honor a life that was a true blessing to all who knew you. I remember you as a woman whose heart was as wide and generous as a kingdom.
Like Dorcas in the scriptures, whose hands were never still in service to others, your life was your testimony. Most of us today carry a token of your kindness—a warm meal when we were hungry, a word of encouragement when we were down,or a helping hand when we felt alone. We are, each of us, a living memorial to your love.
Your legacy is not found in grand monuments, but in the countless acts of grace you quietly performed. It lives on in the warmth you shared and the lives you touched. While we will miss you deeply, we find comfort in knowing that a life so well-lived finds its rest in peace.
May your generous soul rest eternally with your Maker."

— Rev. Dr. Perpetua Fonki

"So so sad that you are no more here with us MA Mary, so hard to believe it, but God who created knew just when you would return to his sweet rest, where there's no more pain no tears,no sickness.

— Mrs.Ngwane Grace

"Ma Mary,
I remember the last time I saw you was at Winnie’s burial in Bali. You were looking for mama because you had something to give her. It felt really good seeing you after so many years. When I got the news of your passing, I was saddened and I pray for your soul to be at peace with the Lord. You will be missed but never forgotten. Rest well Ma!🙏🏽❤️

"February 6th will always be a day I carry quietly in my heart. The day my big sister lost her battle… and the day heaven gained one of the strongest women I’ve ever known.
She wasn’t just my older sister — she was my safe place. In my lowest hours, when life felt heavy and overwhelming, she was the one who stood beside me. When I felt weak, she reminded me I was strong. When I doubted myself, she spoke life into me. Her words weren’t just encouragement — they were anchors.
She had a way of knowing exactly what to say. Sometimes it was gentle comfort, sometimes it was tough love, but it always came from a place of deep love. She carried so much strength, even while fighting her own battle. Looking back, I realize she was encouraging me while quietly carrying her own weight. That was her heart — selfless, steady, loving.
The silence she leaves behind is loud. I miss her voice. I miss her reassurance. I miss knowing I could always call her and hear, “It’s going to be okay.” But I hold on to the truth that because of her, I am stronger. Because of her, I learned how to stand tall in hard times.
She fought with courage. She loved without limits. And she left a mark on my life that will never fade.
Rest well, Ma. Thank you for being my comfort, my encourager, my strength. I will carry your words with me for the rest of my life. Ma until we meet again Rest In Peace.. 🕊️🙏🏾❤️"

"Ma Mary, it’s so difficult to come to terms with your passing. I can’t believe I have to write about you in past tense. You were a light in my life. Ever since we crossed paths at PC Bonamoussadi, you changed my life for the better. You were a support system, a sounding board, a sister, a friend, but most importantly you were a gift from God. To have experienced life these past decades with you is an unmeasured blessing! Everyone who knows you, knows your kind heart. Ready to be there when called upon. Our last girls trip across the US was a memory i’ll forever cherish. We laughed, we cried, we danced, we prayed, and exchanged stories i’ll forever keep in my heart. I am so grateful for our conversation this past Dec when I visited you at your home in Douala and held your hands as I sang our CWF songs to you. Ma, my heart breaks knowing I won’t see your face again, but I know you are with our lord, keeping the space lively and warm for us. Thank you for being the light in so many lives. I will miss you dearly. Rest well my beautiful and dear sister."

I remember the fun discussions we used to have; the kind we had during our time in Limbe during the EXSSA Jubilee. Mary how can I forget the trip you made from Douala to Muyuka just to pick me up, take my niece and I to your home in Douala and then to the airport on return trip to the US. Girl, you left us too soon. I am still in shock. I want to wake up from the nightmare. You were really loved just as you loved your friends and classmates. Apparently, the Lord loved you more.

"As their closest neighbors in Bali, the Nkwa family was blessed to have their daughter abroad. I remember, on a personal note, returning from the Caribbean twenty-three years ago and spending four days in London. During that short stay, Ma Mary lovingly prepared three meals a day for Pascal and me. It may have seemed like a simple gesture, but it revealed the depth of her generous heart. That was only a glimpse of the kindness she poured out so freely to everyone around her.
Today, the cold and merciless hand of death has taken you away from us. Yet even in your absence, the warmth of your love remains. Your memory will forever live on in our hearts."

"Today, we pause with heavy hearts to honour and celebrate the life of Ma Mary Agustine Manga—a woman whose life was a true reflection of love, kindness, and faith.
Ma Mary was not just a person; she was a blessing to everyone who knew her.
Her gentle spirit, warm heart, and unwavering love touched lives in ways words can hardly express. She carried herself with humility and grace, always putting others before herself, always ready to lend a helping hand, and always offering a comforting word.
She was God-fearing in all she did, and her life preached a silent but powerful sermon of compassion, generosity, and faith. Whether in times of joy or difficulty, Ma Mary remained a source of light and encouragement to many.
Though she is no longer with us physically, her legacy of love and kindness will continue to live in our hearts.
We are grateful for the gift of her life and the impact she made.
Rest in perfect peace, Ma.

"Ma Mary, as we fondly called. You were an intimate friend and sister as we shared many family similarities. Even our lives followed the same pattern sometimes we less understood. You were always strong for me in the UK. Standing by me as a big sister though not much older than me. Our successes in the health profession, propelling us into entrepreneurship. The lengthy bus rides through the streets of London when I come visiting. Our restaurants that you always took care of. Always loving unconditionally, demonstrated in extravagant giving. We prayed together, laughed together. So much more on our programme, but alas you left the stage suddenly.
Go well, Ma Mary and Rest in Peace till we meet at the pearly gates."

"What a great loss to humanity. I grew up knowing Mammy Ambassador bar at Ntanfoang Bali not knowing that she was the mother of Na Mary Augustine until when I came to London in 1990. Na Mary was the mother I met in London who just adopted me. Being a young teacher in London I did not know how to begin life. Na Mary took time to show and teach me how to settle in London. Na Mary was a selfless woman. She made sure I had a house to live in and encouraged and supported me to bring over my family to the United Kingdom. Na Mary was not only a mother to us, she was also a mentor as she made herself always available for us to seek guidance and support.

May your gentle soul rest in peace Na Mary.

Mr and Mrs Dohmatob Divine and Family."

"It’s difficult to see you go Without saying thank You for everything you did for me and others in England.
Every time you were around you would call us and flash us with cash . Your Generosity extended to all who visited you. You would take us out feed us without discrimination.
Living in a foreign land and adapting was not easy but you were there making us feel at home.
How can I ever repay you for everything you did for me Ma.
Words alone are not enough to convey my thanks and gratitude.
As you Rest in peace Ma Your love .gentle guidance and generosity will live on in our hearts forever."
