She was described by friends and associates as humble and friendly.
In a tribute on Facebook, one of her family members, Adiba Chike, wrote: ” I can’t stop starring at your picture since yesterday, it all feels like a dream to me….Chinonye my beautiful and quiet cousin RIP until we meet to part no more .Good night Wenem.”
Another sympathiser called Pretty Angel wrote: ” I’m still trying to contain this tears…. I still remember the first time we met on Facebook March 27th and still remember the first day I met you, i still don’t believe you’re gone, I remember your words to me when I said I was depressed… We were looking forward to your big day next year… You left without thinking about how we will feel, what happened to your loved ones, friends, fiance, me …Ever smiling kind-hearted joy…you are a blessed soul, never regretted meeting you… God knows best. Rest in Peace.”
