Her husband is quoted to have said he fell in love with her after tasting her Jollof rice. They celebrated their wedding on August 20th , 2022. Together they created a home that was full of love, and often traveled together.

Ifeyinwa was a beautiful, kind, gentle and loving woman. Her love transformed the lives of all those that had the opportunity to experience it. She had a remarkable ability to connect with people, share herself and evoke that same spirit of love in each person she knew. She was a person that you could go to for advice whenever you were in need and always knew just what to do or say. She enjoyed fashion, singing, traveling, and cooking. She loved her husband, family and friends dearly. Ifeyinwa loved praising the Lord and was part of the worship team at her church, Family Life Fellowship. Being a member of the congregation was such an integral part of her life. She was ambitious and enjoyed life. There are no words to express the deep sorrow and loss we all feel.

Ifeyinwa was predeceased by her father Okwudilichukwu Okeke. She is survived by her husband Nonso Nite, her mother Nkechi Okeke, her brother Chuka Okeke, sister Chinonye Okeke, twin sister Ifeoma Okeke and sister Ngozi Okeke.

There is something about losing a sister that is inexpressible and permanent. It is a wound that will never heal. Ifeyinwa you were an amazing sister. You were beautiful, ambitious, caring and meant so much to us. You brought so much life and laughter to the family. We shared a sibling bond like no other. You were everyone’s cheerleader and made sure we held God close to our hearts. You left while there are still a lot of milestones to crush. Now we will take on your dreams to remember you for life. We will forever cherish all the memories we made together, from traveling the world to being part of your wedding, one of the happiest days of your life. Life has not been the same since you left. We miss you everyday. We will probably never know why you left us this soon. But we know you are enjoying eternal bliss. Stay well, our beloved sister. We love you forever and always.

Love, Chuka Okeke, Chinonye Okeke, Ifeoma Okeke and Ngozi Okeke.

Words simply fail me at this moment. I can’t believe I am writing this tribute I still feel like I am dreaming. My!!! Ifeyinwa… my Omalicha!!!! Our own Porsha. Where do I start? I came to know you in 2008 when I spent time with the family on my first visit to Boston. You were the spunky teenager with so much talent. You had such a great drive and a vision to succeed. You knew what you wanted and always stuck to your decisions. You had a great aura of favor that seemed to envelope you everywhere you went. You exuded grace and excellence. Everything you touched, you turned to gold. Whatever you wanted, you always got. Whatever you desired always came to fruition. Whatever craft you were interested in, You were a master of it Your had a great heart. I remember you adamantly wishing to be a Dental Hygienist despite all other suggestions so that you could give back to the community. Upon your graduation, you were very passionate about the care of your patients even planning to be an orthodontist. You were wise beyond your years and when God's call upon your life came – you walked steadfastly with him. You showed me things to come Faywa. Ifeyinwa, I thought we had more time with you here on earth as the Lord had great plans for you and now you are gone.

We don’t know the Lord’s motives but I guess Heaven needed your beautiful smile more. Although your time here was short, it was impactful. We love you; the boys miss you so much. I will tell the little one more about you and how the Lord used you to prepare me for her coming. I know you are in a much better place - a place of peace and joy. A place where your voice will continue to sing with the Angels. Ga nke oma. Rest well!!!

To lose a sister like Ifeyinwa means a piece of me will be gone forever. She was more than just a sister to me. she was my mentor, my therapist, my friend & much more. Every piece of her completed every piece of me. Feywa , I love you so much & life without you can never be the same. Your smile lit up any room and no moment with you was dull. Your love for God was inspiring and it’s a shame the rest of the world didn’t get a chance to experience such a light. you were truly one of a kind. You checked on me, spoke life into me, prayed over me, reassured me and kept me grounded in my faith. You taught me about true love, you never let me give up but I knew if I did I would always have you to lean on. You always said you did not have friends just sisters and I’m blessed to have been your little sister. I will forever miss you and I promise to always honor your life, until we meet again.

Feywa’s laugh was contagious. A laugh that’s always funnier than the joke. Her beautiful smile was infectious. Her beauty, sweetness and positivity will always be remembered. She had a way of making you smile, even with a simple compliment. Her devotion to God was undeniable. You will be forever missed Feywa

One of my favorite qualities of Ifeyinwa is she had compassion for others and the ability to help them overcome any obstacles they were facing. Feywa, always knew what to say to make you feel better and always gave the best advice. My other favorite quality of Feywa was her relationship with God. She even brought me closer to God and I will always be grateful for that. Fewya, you will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

The Most Beautiful, she really was; her smile, her sweetness, her presence, her voice, her beauty, her quiet jokes and the way she loved. The way she loved God, the way she loved Nonso, the way she loved her family and friends. Ifeyinwa loved so much that if she loved a particular song she’d play it so much you’d beg her to play another one. It was an honor knowing you and experiencing your love. Rest well my sis,

I met Fey when I was in 3rd grade and just moved to Stoughton. They were the only black family in the neighborhood at the time. We met playing outside in August one day when she told Ngozi to go up to me since Ngozi was too nervous to say anything. She always took me as her little sister from that day on going over everyday and I mean literally every day I was there to the point where I would tell my mom I’m just going to move in at this point… but no seriously fey was one of a kind she was beautiful smart intelligent and was like the big sister I never had. I remember always taking a trip to pages to get some twizzlers with her. It wasn’t till I got a little older when she started talking to me more about guys and relationships. I always wanted her advice about everything and looked to her for that older sisterly love. I will truly miss her, my sister forever till we meet again Mrs. Fey
