Mama Daisy Madedor, the mother-in-law of former Deputy National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, is dead.
Born in 1932, Daisy Madedor, the octogenarian mother of Mrs Roli George, died on August 23.
The 88-year-old retired nurse was married to Dr Madedor, a distinguished engineer and the union was blessed with five children.
Chief George, who disclosed this on Sunday in a statement, said: “Mama Madedor, one of the well-trained professional nurses who studied in England but chose to come back home as a pioneering member of the Lagos Health Care Services, died peacefully as a fulfilled and an accomplished woman who was true to herself, her husband and also her family.
“Mama Daisy Madedor transited to eternal glory in peace, fulfilled, accomplished, true to herself, true to her husband and true to her family.
“The deceased was amongst the very few and the brave who gave their lives to give comfort, joy, happiness and the curative healthiness to the poor, the impoverished and the unfortunate.
“Mama Madedor combined her humanitarian, healthcare profession with a staunch devotion to her Christian faith.
“She was an unfailing believer in our Lord Jesus Christ. She cultivated the humility, the kindness, the love, the selflessness and the sacrifice of the great Nazarene with strong attestations. This much Christian devotion and love radiated and manifested genuinely among her children.
“She was infinitely woven right from childhood as one who cared for others. She was instinctively defined in a natural humanitarian streak, always looking out for the comfort and the well being of everyone even far beyond her immediate family. It was obvious then that the trajectory of her life would take her towards the health care profession.
“She gave love and hope where there was hopelessness. She gave dignity and honour where all was emptiness and vacancy. She healed the wounds and mended the broken places.
“She lived a life as prescribed by Christ. She was dutiful, caring, full of grace, genuine, humble, defined in the holiest of heart’s affection”.
George, the Atona Odua of Yorubaland, said burial arrangements would be announced later.
