A 94-year old grandma who never missed church since childhood was today eulogized as -God’s friend who taught people about faith.
The late Mama Ambuchi,94, was the mother to Dr Janerose Ambuchi, Busia County Director medical services; and mother in- law to veteran journalist Reuben Olita.
Fr Bernard Omuse who led the mass at Busia Catholic Church assisted by Fr Victor Odukhula said Mama Teresa whom he knew since 1976 inspired him to be a Priest.
” Mama Teresa offered daily prayers to her family, friends and priests, a unique phenomenon that saw her attend church daily as early as 5.30am. She was less oblivious of the barking dogs which instead of biting her, escorted her to church ” he said.
Fr Victor in his sermon asked mourners to emulate Mama Ambuchi.
Dr Ambuchi in her eulogy described her late mother as generous and who loved God right from inception.
She said the family will remain indebted to her for raising them well.
Mama Teresa has left behind six children, 30 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren.
She was buried on 12th September,2020 at her home in Chamasiri village, Teso North sub county.
