I am so sorry to find this obituary I just so happen to be looking for Iboro . My mother used to study the Bible with her and my sister babysat some of the children when they were young. I wished I looked harder for her years ago she was such a nice woman I wanted to reach out and say hello. My condolences to you all the obituary read was beautifully done I pass by where you all lived from time to time in car service wondering if you still live there. I look forward to the day when I can see Iboro again as God promises a resurrection along with my mom and dad and other family and friends lost. Praying for you all this is sad for me to find this now but I hope everyone is okay despite the loss of her. I will remember her for her sweet smile and soft voice 🙏🏽💖🙏🏽💖

I am the one Aunty Iboro would jokingly refer to as the "radical".
Though we disagreed on my approach and stance on issues, she made out time to call and advice on how to approach the burial ceremonies of my late father-inlaw, and on another occassion sent a box full of clothing for my youngest daughter.
We never got to have our face-to-face debate i was looking forward to, but you showed by your generous gestures you cared.
Thank you.
Rest in peace Aunty.
Your (still) radical nephew,
Ini-odu

In 1976, Aunty Iboro sent this picture to my Mum and we use to ask who is she? and we got to know about our cousins in the US. So sad! May her soul rest in Peace.

My beautiful Aunty Iboro! It just is not sinking in that she’s no longer with us.

Aunty was a very big part of my life. She was very dear to my siblings and parents. She was a big sister to me. A woman of great strength and character who was loyal and passionate.

Though she had a very busy life, she was always willing to listen and give encouragement. We easily spent over an hour whenever we spoke on the phone. She would say she wished she could come to Virginia often because she loved me and my children and wanted to be there for us. I found that so astounding because I knew she had her challenges though she never once voiced any of it. She was truly incredible!

I knew aunty all my life. Before she got married, she would pick up myself and my younger brother on Sundays to go play with her niece and nephew. Those were good times. When I was getting married, she was there to make sure every thing went well and helped me choose my beautiful wedding gown. She simply was always ready to help.

I miss Aunty Iboro so much but our loss is heaven’s gain.

Farewell sweet aunty and Rest In Peace.

My Legendary Aunty Iboro.

From when I was a kid, I heard of (and saw) how she spent significant amounts of her time and resources supporting her extended family in Nigeria. We grew close in recent years and when we spoke, we spoke for hours! She shared a lot of family history as well as her intentions and plans for the future. Our most recent long conversation was about the equally sad demise of my uncle, her brother and the ideas of how to organize a smooth farewell for him (during these uncertain times). This is one of the reasons why the news about her was so difficult to process. I however will take solace in the fact that she has gone to rest. I will miss her. I hope her immediate family finds the strength and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. She will live forever in my heart.
