The passing of Nancy Hagerera Kombe is a deeply heartbreaking loss to all who knew and loved her. At just 32 years old, Nancy’s life was full of promise, purpose, and compassion. Born and raised in Mombasa, she carried the warmth, resilience, and strength of her Kenyan roots with her when she moved to the United States in 2011 in pursuit of new opportunities.
