Celebrating the Life of Maama Nakku Alice (1939–2026)

With hearts full of both sorrow and gratitude, we honor the remarkable life of Maama Nakku Alice, a devoted mother, grandmother, and pillar of her family, who was called home to the Lord on May 29, 2026. Born on June 6, 1939, to the late Semyoni Baali Musoke and the late Gayita Bukirwa, Alice’s life was a testament to love, strength, and an unwavering commitment to those she held dear.

A Legacy of Love and Strength

Maama Alice was a woman whose influence spanned generations and continents. As a devoted mother, she raised ten children: Sem C.K. Semakula, the late Vincent Tebajanga, the late Muganzi Charles, the late Ruth Namatovu, Matovu Joseph, Sseguya Michael, the late Namato Joyce, Patrick Ddiba, Nantege Mai, and Kirabila Mate Paul (Azziz). Her legacy further blossomed into a vast family tree, including over sixty-nine grandchildren and many great-grandchildren, all of whom carry forward her spirit.

Her journey was one of global experience. Alice lived abroad for several years, spending time in Barking, United Kingdom, between 2003 and 2012, and later residing in Boston, USA, for a decade before returning to her beloved home in Uganda. Even after suffering a stroke in 2022, which brought health challenges, she remained surrounded by the constant care and support of her loving family until her peaceful passing.

Remembering Maama Alice

Alice will be remembered as a woman of profound dedication. Her life was marked by her resilience, her gentle strength, and the deep love she poured into her large, extended family. Whether she was at home in Uganda or traveling abroad to be with family, she remained a central, unifying force for all who knew her.

As we reflect on her time with us, we find solace in the memories shared by her children, grandchildren, and friends. We honor her journey—from her birth in 1939 to her final rest—and celebrate the enduring impact she leaves behind.

May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Celebrating the Life of Anyango Rosalia Odongo (1947–2026)

With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Anyango Rosalia Odongo, who departed this life on May 24, 2026, at Mulago Referral Hospital. Born on September 2, 1947, in Alego, Siaya County, Kenya, she lived a life defined by resilience, grace, and an unwavering commitment to her family and faith.

A Life of Grace and Dedication

Rosalia was a woman of immense character. After losing her parents early in life, she took on the role of a parent to her siblings, demonstrating the deep maternal instincts that would guide her throughout her years. In 1969, she married Samuel Odongo in Ngero, Kumi District, and together they built a life of love. Though she faced the immense loss of her husband in 1990, Rosalia remained a tower of strength, choosing to stay in her home to raise her children rather than returning to her people in Kenya.

A dedicated educator, Rosalia served at various schools, including Rangala Girls Primary, Osia Primary in Tororo, Ulwan Primary, Amongura Primary, and Ongariam Primary. She eventually retired in 2008 and settled in Tororo Osukuru Corner, where she became a pillar of her community and a nurturing presence to her grandchildren. She will be remembered as a God-fearing woman who worked tirelessly to ensure her children were educated and well-settled.

A Beloved Family Matriarch

Rosalia leaves behind a legacy carried forward by her surviving family:

  • Children: Caroline Elesu Achipa, Stella Epilu Amuge, Dorothy Oditai Amujal, Christine Alou Akayo, Emmanuel Odwesso, John Mark Jude Oluka, Joseph Odongo, Shalom Patricia Ogwal Amoding, and Monica Osudo Akol.
  • Sons-in-law: Stephen Epilu, Jackson Osudo, Moses Elesu, Isaac Alou, Gerald Ogwal, and Charles Oditai.
  • Wives of Sons: Jane Amase, Anne Odwesso, Caro Odongo, and Stella Odongo.
  • Siblings: Auma Apolonia Olemo, Chris Odwesso Okello, Florence Odwesso Akach, Peter Odwesso Ogombe, Paul Odwesso Rodhalo, and Lucas Odwesso Obiya.
  • Grandchildren: She was the proud grandmother to 46 grandchildren, including Odongo Stephen, Racheal Ayeto, Elieza Joshua Olila, and many others who held a special place in her heart.

Funeral Service Program

To honor the life of our dear Tataa, the following services will be held:

  • Church Service: Friday, May 29, 2026, at Local Christian Assembled Tororo, starting at 10:00 am.
  • Burial: Saturday, May 30, 2026, at Tororo Osukuru Corner Junction, approximately 200 meters along the Busia Marram Road, beginning at 3:30 pm.

We draw comfort from the scripture 2 Timothy 4:7-8, knowing that she has fought the good fight and finished her race. She is deeply loved, truly irreplaceable, and will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing her.
