The event was officiated by Pastor Femi Paul, Head Pastor of Grace Assembly Church, who encouraged the family to celebrate the life Modupe lived and draw strength from their faith rather than allow grief to overshadow her memories. He prayed for the family, asking God to grant them strength, grace and favour as they continued to adjust to life without their beloved wife, mother, sister and friend.
Speaking at the gathering, her widower, Mike Dada, paid an emotional tribute to his late wife, describing her as an angel in human form and an extraordinary woman whose forgiving spirit and genuine love for others made her special.
Dada, who is also the Managing Director of PRM Africa Marketing and Communications Limited, said his wife taught him valuable lessons about patience, understanding and showing love and respect without expecting anything in return. He admitted that the two years since her death had been difficult, particularly as he adjusted to the emotional and practical responsibilities of raising their children and managing the home without his partner.
The late Modupe, born on May 5, 1976, was a respected banker and AFRIMA’s Vice President. At the time of her death, she served as a Branch Manager at Keystone Bank Limited. She died at Duchess Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, on October 19, 2024, following a brief illness.
