History of My Mother
Mum,Self-motivated high calibre famer with many years experience in house work. Broad and advanced understanding of Madam Marlinda Ononiwu inspired people around the Town with her devotion to the poorest of the poor. Many believe she is the best of women in the village to show kindness to the poor and lowly.
Madam Marlinda was always her own person, startlingly independent, obedient, yet challenging some preconceived notions and expectations. Her own life story includes many illustrations of her willingness to listen to and follow her own conscience, even when it seemed to contradict what was expected.
This strong and independent woman was born in Obilebe Mberie in Owerri (Imo State) on August 27, 1926. She had four children and three survived. The brother describes the family's early years as "well-off," not the life of peasants reported inaccurately by some. "We lacked for nothing." In fact, the family lived in one of the two houses they owned. The names of the children are Mr. Victor, Comfort Ngozi and Kyrian. Mr. Victor is a teacher, Ngozi a married women and Kyrian devoted her life to Church.
Though so much of her young life was centred in the Church, Madam Marlinda later revealed that until she reached 18, she had never thought of being a married woman. During her early years, however, she was fascinated with stories of missionary life and service. She could locate any number of missions on the Town, and tell others of the service being given in each place.
Called to Married life:
At 18, Madam Marlinda decided to follow the path that seems to have been unconsciously unfolding throughout her life. She was married to Mr Anmualechi of Orji Uratta. A man that loves her to his death. Madam Marlinda was a lovely woman full of love to her children and care about them always. She was generally called Nne by all that met her. Her family calls her Nwaugo-oma. She used to call the children by nickname or pet names. She had many grandchildren and great grandchildren. We love her dearly and we ask God to keep her strong and healthy.
