Omolola Alaba Adeleke-Oni
January 13, 1965 – October 26, 2022
Mrs. Omolola Adeleke-Oni was born the third of eight children on January 13, 1965 to the family of Mr. Ganiyu Adeleke and Mrs. of Otun Ekiti, Nigeria. Lola, because of her love for mankind chose Nursing as a profession right after high school. Lola attended Osun State School of Nursing and graduated in 1987. She worked at Oroki Hospital, Osogbo until 1990 and then she proceeded for a Midwifery program in Abeokuta. She became a Registered Nurse-Midwife in 1991 after which Lola met her sweet-heart, Rufus Oni in Lagos on her visit to a friend. She continued to work in the nursing field until eventually joining her husband in the US in 1994.
God blessed them with three wonderful children. The family moved to Virginia in 2003. Mrs. Oni was very ambitious therefore she went back to school in 2005, she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing at Virginia Commonwealth University. Very restless Lola decided to pursue a career in Cosmetology in 2008. As well as starting a master’s program to become a Clinical Nurse Specialist on the acute adult care track at Liberty University and completed the program in December 2011.
Lola enjoyed dancing, singing, traveling, and making friends in which we are grateful that she did so until she was called to glory on October 26, 2022 in Richmond, Virginia. She is still alive in our hearts and in the spirit, survived by her husband Mr. Rufus Oni and three children Samuel Oni, Abidemi Oni, and Abisola Oni. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Lola we thank God for the short time you spent here with us. God continue to uphold al the children, husband and the entire family you left behind. You left too soon to believe you have gone. Rest on in the bosom of you maker.
Lola! Lola!! Lola!!!. I never know or believe you can go too soon like this. But who are we to question God, he is the one that gave you to us and the one that says your time is up and then call you to glory.
No one I mean no one can say anything about you in the Oni family and your relationship with my dear brother Tope Oni your lovely husband other than me.
I know you in and out you were a loving sister inlaw and a good wife in our family.
I pray to almighty God to give my brother, the children, the Onis and Adeleke families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
We love you but God loves you more
Good night Omolola till we meet and not to part .
Your dearest brother inlaw Olusola Oni
It was sadden seeing your picture for the first time as dead. . Despite that I haven’t met you and your husband, your husband genuine care for the extended family shows you have been a good wife. May God rest your beautiful soul ma. May God also console the family you left behind
Lola, the news of your sudden passing on came like a rude shock! It was unbelievable! You were such a very lovely personality with an ever smiling face. Your ‘Buoda Sunday’ will forever remain in my memory. To us, your passing was untimely, but the Bible says that God takes away the righteous before the evil day: Isaiah 57:1. Our life is just like a vapour, according to James 4:14. The Bible says it’s appointed unto man to die once and after that is judgment. (Hebrews 9:27). It’s a debt that we all owe. As your body is being committed to mother earth today, my prayer is that God in His infinite mercies grants my brother, Rufus Tope Oni, and your children the fortitude to bear this apparently irreparable loss and your soul eternal rest, Amen. Adieu Omolola Oni.
Auntie Omolola, we love you but Jesus loves you more.
I pray may the Lord God consoles, keeps and preserves the husband that’s my brother Rufus Babatope Oni, the children she left behind, the extended family, friends and brethrens in the Lord.
After this funeral no evil will befall the family and Jesus will occupied the vacuum iJn.
Mummy Bidemi you only slept we shall meet again on the resurrection day and will reigns with Jesus in His kingdom iJn.
It was sadden seeing your picture for the first time as dead. . Despite that I haven’t met you and your husband, your husband genuine care for the extended family shows you have been a good wife. May God rest your beautiful soul ma. May God also console the family you left behind
At the end life, comes heavenly places where there is no pain and sorrow. As of your character, love, and kindness here on earth, I am very sure you are in that better place called heaven in the presence of our Lord, a place you will live forever. Ever since I met you on your arrival in the United States, you have been a good person, a humble being, an energetic lover of everyone around you. Your very warmest greetings and smile will remain indelible in our hearts. Chief Mrs Oni as I profoundly nicknamed you, your exit, the one that I deemed untimely, baffled my heart and will take time to be erased. I pray that God will help my dear friend Rufus and the children to survive this sorrowful time. I know your immediate family are grieving too. God will console everyone. My expectations was that you will survive this very difficult ordeal but God knows better than us.
May the heavens accept you for good and may your soul Rest In Peace.
Good night my dear sister and friend!!!

Accept my condolences. May her soul rest in peace
Since I heard about your demise your image as a bumbling happy going toddler without a care in the world kept on flashing in my mind. Then years later when I met you and your sister at Redemption camp Dallas you were still this bumbling happy woman, full of life. Life is like a train journey, we all have the time when to get on board and when to unboard. Adieu my sister for now till we meet to part no more
Mrs, Oni,
Thank you for being a mother figure to me. I’ll never forget you calling me ‘Oremi’ even though I was much to young haha, but we had a lot of good laughs and at the time you were one of the adults who showed me a lot of love during my awkward teenage years. Even after many years, you were kind enough to offer me your home while I was in Osogbo a few years back. May all the love you showed me be replenished in your children’s lives, amen.
Sending all my love to you Bisola, Bidemi, Bimbola, and Mr. Oni
