In Loving Memory of Mary Kironde Weeks
We are sad to announce the passing of our Mother, Sister, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Senga & Friend.
Her life, love, laughter and generosity will be remembered and celebrated over the course of a year.
A simple gathering for immediate family
Wednesday November 18, 2020
Green-Wood Cemetery & Crematorium
New York Time 12:45pm, Uganda Time 8:45pm
Depending on God, the arc of the pandemic, vaccinations, and forces of nature; family and friends are planning memorial services as scheduled:
New York City, USA - June 2021
Kampala, Uganda - December 2021
~
In lieu of flowers the family is requesting that people make a contribution on the gofundme page.
50% - Will help cover the costs of cremation, the New York memorial service, and organizing for her ashes to be buried in ancestral land in Uganda.
30% - Will be donated to the Nangabo Vocational Training Institute in Nangabo, Uganda; that was dear to Mary as it was started by her sister, Katie Kironde Kibuka.
20% - Will be donated to Brooklyn Urban Gardeners (BUG). Mary proudly completed the BUG certificate program at age 77, which provides training in urban gardening, as well as the creation and maintaining of green spaces. As a BUG volunteer, Mary helped connect the educational resources of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to the greening efforts of Brooklyn’s schools, senior centers, block associations, community gardens, and other organizations.
