\u200e”Yei River County has lost a dedicated officer, a faithful servant of the people, and a woman of integrity who carried out her duties with commitment and professionalism.<\/p>\n

\u200e\u200eHe extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, relatives, friends, colleagues, and members of the church, praying that they find strength and comfort during the difficult period of mourning.<\/p>\n

\u200eDuring the funeral service, the Bishop of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan (ECSS) Diocese of Yei, Levi Marandulu Yopete, called upon mourners to embrace repentance and focus on spiritual values rather than material possessions, which he said hold no value after death.<\/p>\n

The bishop noted that the late administrative officer had completed her mission on earth and dedicated her life to serving both Christ and the people of Yei.<\/p>\n

\u200e”She has done her part and has gone to rest with the Lord. It is now the responsibility of those who remain to continue serving humanity with commitment and faithfulness,” Bishop Yopete told mourners.<\/p>\n
