Justina Udoh, affectionately known as Grace, was a woman of unwavering strength, deep faith, and limitless love. Born in Nigeria to Mayen and Dominic Okon, she was the third eldest among many siblings and was cherished by all who knew her.
From an early age, Grace was determined, driven, and full of life and ambition. She journeyed to the United States as a young adult with a vision: to build a better life not only for herself but for her family. And she did just that, balancing life as a full-time wife, mother, and student, all while working tirelessly. Her resilience paid off when she proudly earned her bachelor’s degree in Accounting, a testament to her perseverance and grace.

As the founder of The Winning Women Network, a nonprofit created to uplift and support women from all walks of life, she created spaces of healing, growth, and empowerment. She was especially dedicated to serving widows, women, and children those she believed needed the most love, visibility, and support.
She was also a published author, sharing her wisdom and testimony through her two books, Dancing Through The Storm and Unraveled. Through her words, she reminded others that no matter what life throws at you, you can rise again with hope, faith, and courage.
Grace had a joy for life that was contagious. She loved to dance whether it was at family gatherings, community celebrations, or simply at home. She spent much of her time participating in work and community events, always bringing her warmth and vibrant energy wherever she went. Serving others wasn’t just something she did it was part of who she was.
Her love for God shaped everything she did. A devoted Christian, she lived her faith boldly and joyfully, offering prayers, encouragement, and kindness in every interaction.
