Judy Wanjeri Thogori

1st Anniversary

9th June, 1963 – 14th January, 2025

On this first anniversary, we pause to honor and remember Judy Wanjeri Thongori. A mother whose love was a shelter and whose wisdom was a guiding light, she nurtured with gentleness and shaped lives with faith, kindness, and courage. Her children found in her a compass, pointing always toward hope and strength. As a wife, she walked in devotion and grace. Her laughter was the melody of companionship, her counsel the anchor of shared dreams.

In matters of justice, Judy stood as ‘an icon. Her voice carried into courtrooms and communities, speaking for the voiceless, defending the vulnerable, and challenging the powerful with wisdom and resolve. She was more than an advocate—she was a beacon whose light illuminated paths of fairness and truth. Her journey was marked by dignity, her faith unshaken, her love unending. Though she rests, her spirit continues to inspire, her example continues to guide. Her memory is not confined to the past; it breathes in the present, in every life she touched, in every cause she championed, in every prayer whispered for justice and peace. She is remembered with reverence, celebrated with gratitude, and cherished with love. Her legacy is a living testimony—a reminder that one life, lived uprightly, can change the course of many.

Forever missed. Forever honored. Forever loved. Dearly missed by her Husband John Thongori, Children Tracy Wairimu Eric Thongori, friends and relatives.

“Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.”— Isaiah 57:2
