Ernestine's obituary

Ernestine Awosika, a loving, caring, generous, and hard-working woman born on July 13, 1947, unexpectedly passed away on January 16, 2025. Known for her vibrant personality, Ernestine was a beacon of kindness and resilience that constantly inspired those around her.

She is survived by her daughter, Kerthia Adams and Son, Michael Awosika.   Her Family were the jewels of her life, her constant joy, and her guiding light.   Also, Her (4) Amazing Grandchildren: Francis Holt, Alvin Adams Jr., Michael Adams & Ameryrah Adams (5) Great-Grandchildren: Daquan Ames Jr., Olivia Holt, Nolan Holt, Prince Emerald Adams & Prince Messiah Adams.   The bond between them was as strong and enduring as the mother's & Nana's love that nurtured it.  She is also survived by a hosts of Family & Friends Whom Ernestine Loved Very Much.

Ernestine was a woman of diverse interests. She loved crabs and found immense joy in the soulful tunes of Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Luther Vandross, and Aretha Franklin. She was a fan of the television show 'Young and The Restless', and the Pittsburgh Steelers held a special place in her heart. A lover of games, she often engaged in rounds of cards with friends and family.  Most of all, She Loved the Lord.

Watching the Olympics was one of her greatest joys, hinting at her spirit of athleticism and competitiveness. She loved to travel, with London being her favorite vacation spot many years ago.  A lover of aesthetics, Ernestine had an affinity for the color Orange.

Ernestine was never one to sit idle; she believed in the beauty of hard work. "Never be lazy and work hard for what you want in life," she often echoed. These were not just words to her but a way of life that she upheld till her last breath.

Mourning her loss, we remember the legacy of love and hard work that Ernestine leaves behind. She loved her family and friends deeply, and her life was a testament to this enduring love. As we grapple with her loss, we find solace in the memories of her love, her wisdom, and her resilience.

We will remember Ernestine Awosika as a woman of strength, courage, and boundless love. As we bid her farewell, we hope to uphold her legacy of hard work, humility, and love for life. We will miss you, Ernestine.
