Remembering Chizo

On August 13, 2026, Chizo Ekechukwu passed away after a long battle with leukemia. Chizoma was a beautiful soul, both inside and out, filled with compassion, love, and generosity throughout her entire life. As we mourn the loss of a remarkable woman who is gone way too soon, the Ekechukwu family invites you to join us as we lay her to rest and honor her short, but fulfilling life.

For those who are unable to attend the funeral and burial in person, you may join the livestream of both services here.
