Chioma Abara

It is so hard to believe that Chichi is not physically here with us. She was very vibrant, had an amazing sense of humor and, knew how to make a joke out of anything. Chichi, you left us too soon and left behind a big void in our hearts. We can’t question God because he knows best. We love you so much but God loves you more. May The Almighty God receive your soul and give you eternal blessings and peace 🙏 -Prince Engr. Ozzuruoke and Engr. (Mrs.) Ndidi Amadi For the Family

My niece Chichi was the younger sister I never had. She became an incredible role model to my children. At every family function or get together, she made them feel at home, answered their numerous questions and even took them to a live Golden State Warriors game. Chichi, I spoke to you a few times this year but did not get the hint you were leaving us. Although you left without saying goodbye, your beautiful memories will forever remain with us. I love you but God loves you more. Rest In Peace until we meet to part no more.

Before the pandemic started, I had the pleasure of working with Chi and used to look forward to our weekly case meetings together. We often ended up right across from each other, and I remember her big smile and great sense of humor during our discussions. I am so saddened by the news of her loss, and I will miss such a beautiful, kind person. I am so very sorry for her family's and friends' loss.

I love you Chi! Please continue to guide, love and support our family. I miss you dearly

October 10 2019 you allowed me to experience the greatest day of my life. I will forever be grateful for that day and how much you know the warriors mean to me.

I have so many great memories with Chi. From the first time we met with the little poof in her hair, to her introducing me to new music, and her insisting I would love the Game of Thrones books even after repeatedly telling her how much I hated dragons (she was right of course). We had many great laughs over many great meals. We started out as colleagues but quickly became friends. The world will not be the same without her in it, but I will be forever grateful for the time we shared here. She was loved, and will be missed.

There are no words to truly express how heartbroken I am. Chichi, you have been there for me from day 1. You shared your time, energy and extreme patience with me and I forever grateful. I miss you so much already cuz, rest in eternal perfect peace. Till we meet again🤍

It is an honor and privilege to have known Chioma. I first became acquainted with her through work and truly her beautiful, kind and of course funny reputation preceeded her. Beloved by everyone, she became a legend in the office and made me want to really live up to our name! An extremely brilliant mind and hardworking woman, Chioma just overpowers you with warmth and humor and that's what I will always remember. I feel so lucky for the opportunity to spend time with her and seeing up close what a loving sister, daughter, aunty and confidant she is. Till we see again namesake.

Beautiful Chichi, words fail me at this time. We only met when you came home to Nigeria and you had one indelible feature "Your Smile". It was contagious. I sat down to look through some old pictures a few days ago and noticed it was always a part of you. Smile on dear! God knows best. He will comfort the family.

Chioma my grandchild, your family and friends will never know how hard your Late grandmother, Mrs Justina Eke and I fight to send you back because you are too young to join us here, but He had the upper hands. Nevertheless, welcome home my dearest and rest on His bosom. Your job is done on earth. Late Mrs Mary Egejuru Okere. Honorable Chief Omekannaya1of Umuoma Nekede Owerri. Norah Okere. For the family.

May your loving and caring soul rest in perfect peace with the Lord. May God comfort your family to bear the seperation.

Dear Chiaka, my sincere condolences to you and family on the passing of your sister. My prayers are with you. May the God of all comfort, comfort you and your family during this time of bereavement. Even though I didn’t get the opportunity to meet your sister, I met you through my sister Karlene Barrett Ricketts. May the precious memories of your sister live on with you and your family. Blessings always 🙏💐

Chi chi my lovely niece, I and my wife still can't believe you are gone. We are so saddened but God knows best. Rest on chi.

Painful news of her early exit. May her soul find rest in the Lord. My condolence to her family and friends. She will be sorely missed.

Memories of her are gifts to bring gentle comfort as you grieve. Remain faithful, hopeful and strong. May her gentle soul Rest In Peace. Sam and Kate Achu

I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of Chioma. I met her only briefly, but she instantly made me feel like family. She had a kind welcoming way about her that instantly puts you at ease. I admired the way she fiercely loved and was protective of Chiaka, because I saw my own sister in her actions. Beautiful Chioma, you will be sorely missed by so many. We celebrate your life and also your promotion. Sincere condolences to Chiaka and family members. Sending prayers and hugs.

Chioma was such a light! She was always very warm and welcoming. I'll hold the memories I had with you dear to me. Keep resting in the bossom of the Lord! I pray God grants the family the fortitude to bear this great loss!

Gordon and Rose, My wife and I are sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family. May the soul of Chioma Rest In Peace.

Aunty Chi, as long as my heart beats, you will live on😢💔.

"GONE TOO SOON CHI, there's a special position in our family where you used to occupy. Your absence has now created a hole in my heart which l least expected and will be very hard to fill. The excruciating pain your loss has inflicted on me will never go, no matter how hard l try. You left us when we needed you most. My head has gone blank but the only expression l can still remember are these words" l love you loads and sleep well my baby. Auntie Angie Ako-----LONDON"

Oh my God, this is a big shock to me. I saw Chichi some years ago when l visited them in PA. She was full of energy as a kid. I don’t believe this, it is so saddened to all, families, friends and to Owerri community as a whole. I am so tearful l can’t hold myself. May God and His angels comfort you as l could not find proper words at this moment. May your beautiful soul Rest In Peace.

High Chief, "At sunset the little soul that had come with the dawning went away, leaving heartbreak behind it." (L.M. Montgomery) We cannot comprehend how devastated you must be feeling now and how difficult this time must be for you and your family. We know that nothing can take away the pain that you are feeling right now, and words are not adequate to express the pain and sorrow we feel for your loss. Chi Chi was an amazing person in so many ways. She was an inspiration to everyone around her; loved and respected. She will forever be remembered for her warmth and generosity of heart. We do hope that you can find peace in the wonderful life she lived. We thank God Almighty that we knew her beauty and experienced her kindness, and hope that you can find peace in the wonderful life she lived. Be rest assured that we are thinking of you, and wishing you strength as you deal with so much grief. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult and challenging time. May God give you the strength to face the coming days ahead. George & Serene, Kelechi, Chinomso & Onyinye

Attorney Chioma Chinyere Abara is my niece. Over the years, she had earned my trust and confidence because she lived a life free from hurting others. I can vouch for her that since her childhood, she had kept a high moral standard and with clean hands free from fraud and mistrust of even the slightest degree. Chioma, my niece is very caring and enjoyed spending time with her family and giving them adequate love and attention at all times. The same family she has left behind are now in terrible pains and anguish, searching without success for Attorney Chioma who brings joy and gladness in every of her visits. May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, comfort all those she left behind in all their tribulations with the comfort that surpasses all discomfort.

I am so saddened to hear of Chi’s passing. We met in law school and were fast friends. Her charisma was infectious and I can hear her laughing at me now and saying “girl, you are so stupid” and it makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I still can’t wrap my brain around this but Chi, you are loved by so many and will be missed more than words can express. We’ll keep you close, in our memories and in our hearts. Rest well, friend. ❤️

The Chiiiiiiii, as I fondly call you. You left us too soon and suddenly. We will miss your kindness, beautiful smile, selflessness, readiness to accept responsibility that will ensure everyone’s happiness. You don’t give-up on any task till it is completed successfully no matter how difficult. I strongly believe if God allowed you come home so soon, you must be in a better place. My dear, continue to rest in the blossom of the Almighty. You will remain in our hearts forever ❤️ Joyce Eke.

I had the pleasure of working with Chi at KTMC. She was one of the funniest and overall fun people I have ever met. I am sorry to have lost her so soon. I miss you Chi.

Am so heartbroken, Big sis., you sure will be missed😭.. Rest well.

I am sorely pained at the passing of my always cheerful, adorable and pleasant-to-be-with niece Chioma. I cannot talk about her in the past tense because she still occupies a special place in my heart. Ever since taking up my name and being my first niece, we've remained very well bonded, and it has been so, the distance notwithstanding. Each time I get a phone call from my brother, her father, it's always with some glee; so I felt when that call came in at about the time I was going to bed in Nigeria, and the usual long exchange of pleasantries became unusually short with a sudden pause. I thought he was going to give me some instructions or to inform me that he would be visiting soon. None of these happened. Rather, it was a bombshell with a rude shock of the saddest news of the exit of my own Chioma!! OMG. I was immediately distraught, and my subsequent utterances were stuttered with disbelief. And the conversation ended. Chioma, though you're no more with us, but your fond memories will always live with us in our hearts, even as you remain peacefully with our Lord Jesus Christ until that Resurrection morning when we all shall reunite again. Sleep on, ever cheerful Chioma.

While I am immensely saddened to hear the news of Chioma's passing, I am so grateful that I got to know her, even for a brief time. We became friends in law school and afterwards. Chi was a unique, hilarious, honest and kind person. I will miss my friend. She was one of a kind and brightened the lives of the people around her.

I went to law school with Chi and she was an amazing person to be around. Always kind and helpful. Always had a smile on her face and I remember her laughing and enjoying life almost every time I saw her. Rest in peace Chi...we will never forget you!

I worked with Chioma for 3 months at a new attorney temp job 14 years ago. I only had the privilege of seeing her once since then. She was a remarkable person and an absolute joy to be around. I can remember her as brave, fearless, hilarious and kind. I still have the Band of Horses CD she burned for me, and my 11 heart is daughter now listens to them. I am so sorry for the loss that must be felt by her family and those who had the blessed opportunity to know her much better than I did, considering how I feel right now upon hearing of her passing. May her spirit live forever Tujunga all of those she touched along the way. Rest in peace, Chioma.
