Philomena Ngoiri Muhia (Wamutwari)

It is with a mix of celebration of the Lord’s blessings and heavy hearts that we announce the passing on of our dear mum, sister, mum in law, auntie, cucu, friend and above all, a believer and tenacious fighter for freedom.

Mother of Thomas Mutwari, Mary Wambui, Josphat Mwaura, Elizabeth Wairimu & Jane Muthoni Gakwa, the late Michael  Macharia, Lucy Waithera Chege, Salome Nyambura, Francis Gitau and John Karanja. She was especially cared for by Rose Wanjiru Karanja.
