Eulogy for Joy Adhiambo Odhiambo

We gather here today to honor and celebrate the life of Joy Adhiambo Odhiambo, a remarkable woman who touched the lives of so many with her kindness, love, and unwavering faith in the Lord. Joy was born in 1993, and from a young age, she grew into an assertive and independent spirit, one who held steadfastly to her principles and values. Her life was a testament to her deep love for God and her commitment to serving Him in all ways.

Growing up, Joy was deeply involved in her church community. She thrived as an Adventurer, Pathfinder, and Ambassador, embracing every stage with dedication and enthusiasm. She was devoted to a life of service, always willing to lend a helping hand or an encouraging word. Her love for God shone brightly, as she continuously found ways to serve Him through her work in the church, and she inspired others with her faith.

One of Joy’s greatest passions was singing, a gift she shared generously with others. She had a special calling to work with children and delighted in teaching them, instilling in them the values she held dear and the love of God she carried in her heart. Her voice and presence brought light and joy to all who knew her.

Joy was also a brilliant scholar, excelling at every level of her education. Her hard work and determination saw her through to earning her master's degree, and she was already planning to enroll in a Ph.D. program. Her dedication to learning and her relentless pursuit of knowledge were a source of inspiration to all who knew her.

Professionally, Joy worked with the National Drought Management Authority as a Procurement Specialist. She served her role with integrity, skill, and a sense of purpose, always striving to make a difference in her field.

Joy leaves behind three beautiful children, who were the joy and light of her life. They are a testament to her love and kindness, carrying forward her compassionate spirit. Joy’s love knew no bounds; she was a woman full of compassion, always extending grace to others, and treating everyone she met with kindness.

Though her time with us was far too short, Joy’s life was filled with purpose, love, and unwavering faith. She was a beacon of hope, a source of strength, and a beloved mother, daughter, and friend. We will miss her deeply, but her legacy lives on in all those whose lives she touched. May we carry forward her memory by living with the same compassion, love, and commitment to service that she embodied.

Joy's light will continue to shine in our hearts forever
