Remarkable Life and Legacy in America
After joining her children in the US, she trained to become a nurse, a career that she felt was a calling and in which she worked until her cancer returned in 2019.
She had every intention of beating her cancer a second time so that she could go back to a job that she loved and performed with pride and joy.
Her love of life took her on adventures from running a marathon, learning how to drive semi trucks, modeling, several road trips from Atlanta to Casper Wyoming, Los Angeles, and the Grand Canyon, all after she turned 60 years old.
The sicker she became the more she repeated the refrain, “Life ain’t always beautiful, but life IS beautiful.”
Family
Grace was a sister to the late Ezra Githaguī, William Njoroge, Gad Mwaura, David Kuria, Peter Kinyanjui, and Rose Nduta.
She is survived by her siblings Miriam Wambaa, Wambui Njoroge, Jedidah Gaciku, and Ben Githieya, her daughters Carolyn Koine and Angela Flynn, her son-in-love Matthew Flynn, her grandchildren Nicole Bahsoon, Louisa Wanjiku, and Noah Waiyaki, and numerous in-laws, nieces, and nephews in Kenya, the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
