Celebrating the life of Sharon Dotto Abu

It has pleased the Lord to have our beloved Sharon Dotto Abu ascend to heaven to be our guardian angel effectively on September 23rd, 2022.

Sharon was an extremely loved and loving sister, daughter, friend, neighbor, co-worker and auntie to so many and, most importantly, a doting mom to two beautiful children: James, 19 and Erica, 8.

Sharon was an amazing human being with a bright smile who touched the lives of everyone around her. She was a fun-loving, free-spirited individual and a people person who appreciated life, friends and activities. In her spare time, Sharon was a regular and popular participant of Clubhouse. She loved Clubhouse so much that she moderated a couple of Clubhouse meetings while she was on an ICU bed the week that she passed on.

Sharon was a shining star to many people and her memory and love will live on in our hearts forever. She filled everyone in her presence with joy and love while still managing to be nothing but herself; cheery but always a straight-shooter who was not hesitant to agree to disagree with anyone, should it be warranted.

As Sharon’s family, we would like to provide her with a life celebration event as amazing as she was. We are looking forward to individuals and groups sharing their memories about Sharon and how their lives were impacted by her presence. Sharon’s family would like to cordially invite anyone wishing to contribute financially and we are thanking them in advance.

Sharon went to be with God at just 45 years old. As her family, we miss Sharon beyond any words. Nevertheless, we are truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from all Sharon’s friends in the USA, UK, Canada and Tanzania, to name a few, including all her Clubhouse friends.

Rest In Eternal Peace our Beloved Baby Sister.

Your darling sister and friend,

Dr. Miriam K. Abu

Kuadhimisha Maisha ya Sharon Dotto Abu

Imempendeza Bwana kwa mpendwa wetu Sharon Dotto Abu kupaa mbinguni kuwa malaika wetu mlinzi kuanzia tarehe 23 Septemba 2022.

Sharon alikuwa dada, binti, rafiki, Jirani, mfanyakazi mwenza na shangazi aliyependwa na anayeonyesha mapenzi kwa wengi, lakini zaidi alikuwa mama mpenzi wa watoto wawili wazuri: James, 19, na Erica, 8.

Sharon alikuwa mtu mwema sana mwenye tabasamu angavu na aliyegusa maisha ya watu wote ya kila mtu aliyekuwa karibu yake. Alikuwa mtu wa kupenda kujifurahisha, mwenye moyo huru na mtu wa watu aliyethamini maisha, marafiki na shughuli. Katika wakati wake wa ziada, Sharon alikuwa mshiriki mzoefu na maarufu wa Clubhouse. Aliipenda Clubhouse sana kiasi kwamba alisimamia mikutano kadhaa ya Clubhouse akiwa kwenye kitanda cha ICU wiki ambayo aliaga dunia.

Sharon alikuwa nyota angavu kwa watu wengi na kumbukumbu na upendo wake utaendelea kuishi mioyoni mwetu milele. Alimfanya kila mtu aliyekuwa naye awe na furaha na upendo huku akiwa bado hawezi kuwa chochote ila yeye mwenyewe; mchangamfu lakini kila wakati msema kilichokuwa moyoni mwake bila kusita kukubaliana kutokubaliana na mtu yeyote, kama ilibidi.

Kama familia ya Sharon, tungependa kumfanyia sherehe za maisha za kupendeza kama alivyokuwa mwenyewe. Tunatazamia watu binafsi na vikundi kuelezea kumbukumbu zao kuhusu Sharon na jinsi maisha yao yalivyoboreshwa na kuwepo kwake. Familia ya Sharon ingependa kukualika kwa moyo mkunjufu yeyote anayetaka kuchangia chochote na tunatanguliza shukrani zetu.

Sharon alirudi kwa Mwenyezi Mungu akiwa na umri wa miaka 45 tu. Kama familia yake, tunamkumbuka Sharon zaidi ya maelezo. Hata hivyo, tumefurahishwa sana na upendo na usaidizi kutoka kwa marafiki wote wa Sharon nchini Marekani, Uingereza, Canada na Tanzania, kwa uchache, wakiwemo marafiki zake wote wa Clubhouse.

Pumzika kwa Amani ya Milele Mpendwa dada mdogo wetu.

Dada yako na rafiki yako Mpendwa,

Dkt. Miriam K. Abu
