REVEREND STELLA OLUKANMI
With deep love and gratitude, we remember our former parish priest, Reverend Stella Olukanmi, whose sudden passing in 2025 brought great sorrow to our church family and the wider community. Stella served St Andrew’s with unwavering dedication, compassion, and faithfulness for ten years. Her pastoral care, her gentle strength, and her steadfast trust in God touched countless lives.
We give thanks for all she offered in her ministry among us, and we continue to be inspired by her example of service, prayer, and kindness. May she rest in eternal peace, held in the love of God.
Stella’s funeral took place last year, when many gathered to honour her life, her ministry, and the profound impact she had on our parish.
This year, we planted a cherry tree in her honour, a living reminder of her presence among us. Each spring, its blossom will stand as a sign of renewal, hope, and the lasting beauty of the ministry she shared with our community.
Yours in Christ,
St Andrew’s Church, Walthamstow
