The remains of the late Mrs Dorothy Opatunji have been laid to rest with a charge on Christians to avoid stockpiling materials resources and earthly treasures, but to invest in developing humanity.
The Dean, Cathedral Of St Peter, Ake, Abeokuta, the Venerable Samuel Omidiji gave the charge in a sermon at the funeral service held in honour of the deceased.
In the sermon entitled “Lay your Treasures In Heaven” the Venerable Omidiji, emphasized the importance of Salvation and reminded the people that everyone was a sojourner on earth.
Describing the deceased as an ardent believer and committed Christian, the clergyman urged the Children, Families and well wishers to build on her legacy of selfless service to God and kindness to people around them.
All the children, step children and family members of the late Madam Dorothy Adeteju Opatunji, including the former Zonal Director, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN, Ibadan Zonal Station, Mrs Bolatito Joseph, promised to keep her memory alive.
Mrs Joseph prayed God for the repose of Madam Adeteju’s soul, describing her as an extra ordinary step – mother who would be greatly missed by the family.
Dignatries at the event included the Alake and Paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, represented by Chief Tajudeen Oladeyinde.
Activities for the celebration of life were later continued at the Bishop’s Court, Onikolobo, Abeokuta with the reception of guests.
