It is with profound sadness and humble acceptance of God’s will that we announce the passing of our beloved Charity Taburandi Kigera (Charey) of Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
Charity was the beloved daughter of the late James Kigera Thong’o and Edith Wambui Kigera. Together with Brian Mwenda Gatobu, she was the loving mother of Kylie Lyne Kendi Mwenda (Moi Educational Centre; MEC) and Chloe Muthoni Mwenda (Jonathan Gloag Academy).
She was a dear sister of Dr. Stephen Thong’o Kigera (MEDS & EPN) and the late Susan Njeri Kigera. Sister-in-love of Grace Krizta Thong’o, and a doting auntie to Priscilla, Phoebe, Ruby, Michael, Natto, Mayom, Liam and Maena.
Charity was a cherished granddaughter of the late Stephen Thong’o Kigera and the late Charity Taparindich Thong’o; and the late Jonah Ng’ang’a and the late Felister Njeri.
She was a niece of the late John Kipruto, the late Leah Nyakinyua, the late Mary Wakonyo, the late Mercy Njeri, Nancy Nduramu, Lucy Wanjiku, Irene Wahu, Rebecca Njeri, the late Ann Wambui, William Wairacha, Evans Chege (USA), Margaret Nduta (USA), the late James Karanja and Mary Waithera.
Charity was also a beloved auntie, cousin, friend, neighbour and colleague to many.
Family and friends are gathering daily at the family home in Kibuku Farm, Mihango Ward, Embakasi East, for prayers and funeral arrangements and All Saints Cathedral Church from 5pm (Wednesday 7th October and on Thursday 8th October for the Fundraiser event).
The burial will take place on Tuesday, 13th October 2026, at the family home in Kibuku Farm, Mihango Ward, Embakasi East. On the burial day, the cortege will leave Lee Funeral Home, followed by a Funeral Service at St Luke’s Methodist Church- Karen Langata South Road near Tangaza University, and thereafter interment at the family home.
We thank God for the gift of Charity’s life, her love, warmth, resilience and the precious memories she leaves behind.
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life…nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ~ Romans 8:38-39 ~
