A Devoted Wife, Mother and Public Servant — Family Remembers Late Adebimpe

The family of the late Alhaja Maryam Iyabode Adebimpe has issued a heartfelt tribute to their mother, wife and public servant, highlighting her enduring legacy of service and devotion. Alhaja Adebimpe served as the Director of Estate and Valuation in Oyo West Local Government and was respected for her professionalism and commitment to her community.

In their statement, the family described her as a “dependable wife, mother, sister and friend”, emphasising that her faith and strong character defined her life both at home and in public service. Her contributions to the local administration were praised as positively impactful and deeply rooted in integrity and humility.

Colleagues and associates remember Alhaja Adebimpe as someone who approached her work with diligence, fairness and a desire to uplift others. Outside her official role she was known to blend her responsibilities with her commitments to family, faith and community — a balance that earned the affection and respect of many.

Her funeral followed Islamic rites in Ibadan, with many well-wishers, former colleagues and friends gathering to honour her life. The family expressed gratitude to all who supported them during the difficult time of her loss, acknowledging the value of solidarity and compassion in moments of grief.

Reflecting on her personal life, the family noted how Alhaja Adebimpe prioritised her children’s education, nurtured strong family bonds and maintained a household grounded in respect, faith and service. They recalled how she balanced public duties with private responsibilities, living out the values she advocated publicly in her everyday life.

Her legacy, the statement affirmed, extends beyond her tenure in government. It lies in the lives she influenced, the policies she helped administer and the example she set for younger professionals who admired her quiet leadership and steadfast commitment to the public good.

As the family marks this occasion, they pray for Almighty Allah’s mercy and for her soul to find eternal peace. They also urge those she served to continue upholding the values she lived by — honesty, dedication and compassion.

In honouring her memory, the family reaffirm their intention to keep her legacy alive: they pledged to commemorate her annually and to support initiatives that embody the spirit of service she championed during her lifetime.
