THIS PAGE IS LOVINGLY DEDICATED TO
THE MEMORY OF A DEAR FRIEND,
Mrs. MARIE TAKUSI NJOWO
It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Class of 1982's Mrs. MARIE TAKUSI NJOWO (STUDENT #1526).
Marie passed away in the early hours of Friday, November 17th 2023, in Houston, Texas.
She leaves behind her beloved husband, Mr. JOHN NJOWO, her 3 children, KOUAZOU, MICHAEL and PEKAM, her Mother, Ma JULIE TAKUSI, (whose 80th Birthday she was planning to celebrate this December), as well as her brothers, BOB, EMMANUEL, JEROME TAKUSI and her only Sister, GENEVIEVE ABA TAKUSI MAKIA of the Class of 1990. (Her older brother, CHARLES TAKUSI, preceded her in death in February of this same year, and was laid to rest in March.)
We extend our heartfelt condolences to them, and pray for God's Peace, Comfort, and strength as they navigate their way through the days, weeks, months and years ahead of them.
Being the vibrant, dynamic, God-fearing, philanthropic, conscientious and community-oriented person that she was, Marie was a staunch, active and very dedicated member of so many groups, including her SAKERETTE groups:
- The SAKERETTES TRANSGLOBAL ALLIANCE (STA),
- The SAKERETTES OF HOUSTON (S.O.H.), and
- The Class of 1982 GOLDEN TEENS.
Marie will be laid to rest on Saturday, December 16th 2023 in HOUSTON, a little over a week before Christmas Day, which would have marked her 59th Birthday.
May her dear soul rest in perfect peace!
Till we meet again, my "bohest boh"!!!! 💔😭
REST! REST! REST!
REST PEACEFULLY IN THE ARMS OF YOUR SAVIOR.

1 YEAR LATER: SAKERETTES OF HOUSTON (S.O.H.) REMEMBER THEIR SISTER, MARIE TAKUSI NJOWO
NOVEMBER 2024 is here ...
So, when the 17th comes around, it would have been ONE WHOLE YEAR since Mrs. MARIE TAKUSI NJOWO passed away.
Like play - like play!
Well, it is with that thought in mind that her SAKERETTES OF HOUSTON (S.O.H) Sisters - along with Marie's beloved Spouse, Mr. JOHN NJOWO, defied a heavy HOUSTON downpour and made their way to OAKLAND CEMETERY to "pay a visit", this past Sunday, November 3rd 2024.
That visit was, indeed, an integral part of their NOVEMBER Meeting complete with Singing, Praying, Laying of ROSES on the grave and all.
Now, THAT is what SISTERHOOD - in the purest sense of the word, is really looks like..
Our "MAMI MA" may no longer be with us, physically, BUT she is certainly NOT forgotten. NOT AT ALL!
THANK YOU, S.O.H.
Some of the SIGHTS and SOUNDS of last Sunday's profound and meaningful "Event" (which I just KNOW Marie would so much have appreciated), are in the PHOTO/VIDEO ALBUM posted below.
MAY HER DEAR SOUL REST ON IN PEACE!
