In Loving Memory of Eden Gebreslassie
Donation protected
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our beloved Eden Gebreslassie passed away on May 20, 2020 from complications due to COVID-19. She is leaving behind her husband, four beautiful young daughters, her mother, eight siblings, other family and friends in Mekelle, Tigray, throughout Europe, and in the United States.
Eden was an essential worker on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic healing and caring for ill patients. Sadly, she contracted the illness and became a patient herself. After driving to a doctor’s appointment to check on a cough, she was unexpectedly admitted, sedated and placed on a ventilator. Her husband, who also contracted the virus and was admitted, recovered. With so much to live for, she fought until her last breath. After a long hard month, Eden lost the battle and has joined her sister Alemtsehai in heaven.
Eden was the pillar and rock of her family. She was also very committed to her patients. She missed every Thanksgiving and every Christmas with her family to work with her patients, and she lost her life serving others. Eden was a devout Orthodox Christian and raised her girls in the faith. She was very active with the Denver Hamere Noah Kidane-Mehret Ethiopian Orthodox Church. She loved her family deeply, was passionate about her work, and truly loved God.
Losing Eden is a devastating blow to her loved ones and we ask for your prayers and support. Traditionally we are able to mourn together when we lose family members; unfortunately, we can't during these unprecedented times. We are sincerely thankful for any donations provided as we prepare to say our goodbyes and bury our beautiful mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. We hope to provide her four young girls with a little financial security after this tragic loss.
Please practice good judgment during this global pandemic. You don’t realize its impact until it hits home. We urge everyone to practice all of the preventive measures advised by public health officials. We don’t want anyone to experience the pain of losing a loved one.
His brother Solomon will be helping her widowed husband with their affairs.
