A dedicated public servant, Phoebe worked at the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) until her retirement. She was a devoted Jehovah’s Witness and a cherished spiritual sister in the Central, Komarock, Nairobi South, and Mlolongo congregations. Her gentle faith and kind heart will be fondly remembered by all who knew her. She held firmly to the hope in John 5:28-29: “For the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out…”
