A Kenyan woman Grace Gathoni Gicheru passes away in Boston MA
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear mom, Mrs. Grace Gathoni Gicheru also known as “Mama Gishe”. Our loving mom went to be with the Lord on the night of January 10 2012 at Brigham’s and Women Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. Mrs. Grace Gicheru (Mama Gicheru) earlier resided in Atlanta,Georgia where she attended Beulah Heights Bible College and was also a member of Christ Harvesters Ministries International in Marietta, Georgia. She later relocated to Boston MA where she was staying with her children as she underwent treatment.
Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994, and was in remission until 2008 when she started getting treatment at the North Shore Cancer Center, and later in 2008, at Dana Farber in Boston. Her prognosis was hopeful but in the fall of 2010, mom started developing complications that compromised her hopeful prognosis, this led to her being admitted at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston MA on Thursday January 5 2012. Mom’s condition quickly got worse and on Tuesday January 10 2012 she passed away peacefully.
Mom is survived by her 5 children; Anthony, Anne, Sarah, Maggie and Sammy. Their spouses Hiram, Laurie and Saron. Grand Children; Lynnette, Emma-Grace, Ethan and Ella.
Mom was spiritual, loving, caring, considerate, genuine, and honest. We will keep her memory close to our hearts forever. May she rest in peace.
