Born in Ibiaku, Nigeria, on Nov. 16, 1951, Mfon was the daughter of Edet Udo and Alice Umo Udo. She spent her formative years in Nigeria; it was there where she met the love of her life, Emmanuel Esah. The pair were married on June 20, 1976, in nearby Calabar. To their union, three daughters were born.
Mfon worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a food inspector. She spent more than 15 years with the USDA and was most recently working at Crystal Lake Egg Products. She was a hard worker, often holding more than one job, but nothing meant more to her than family. She genuinely enjoyed cooking and loved keeping in touch with her family across the country and in Nigeria. She was a wiz with Facebook and enjoyed traveling – something she hoped retirement would bring much more of. Kind, empathetic and caring, Mfon was a person of genuine faith; she lived her faith, treating others with love, respect and consideration. She also enjoyed studying the Bible.
In addition to her husband of more than 45 years, Emmanuel Esah, of Warsaw; those who survive with broken hearts include three daughters: Ekaette “Kate” Esah (Jennifer Kirkman), of Federal Way, Wash.; Claret Lewis, of Midwest City, Okla.; and Linda Esah (John McMahon), of Alexandria, Va.; two grandsons: Daniel Lewis and David Lewis; and two brothers: Ini Ebiekpi and Amaitem Ebiekpi. She was preceded in passing be a brother, Sunday Ebiekpi.
Titus Funeral Home, 2000 E. Sheridan St., Warsaw, is entrusted with arrangements. Friends may gather there on Thursday, Jan. 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. A service is planned to follow via livestream (the exact details of which are pending).
