A True Nurturer, Mentor, and Pillar of Strength
Mrs. Mary Anchia was a beacon of love and strength in my life. When I was just a child, she took me from our village and brought me to the city of Buea, where she became my guardian, guiding me through life and education. Despite having five daughters of her own, she embraced me as her son, offering me the same care and love she gave her own children. She did so without discrimination and with the nurturing heart of a true mother.
Her sacrifices were immense, and her influence immeasurable. Mrs. Anchia’s unwavering support helped shape the person I am today, and her life continues to inspire me.
I remember a moment that has always stayed with me: she once said, I quote“If your father had been a serious man, you would be in the South studying computer science today.”
Her belief in my potential and the direction my life could have taken filled me with pride and motivation. Even though my path wasn’t always straightforward, her words pushed me to achieve greatness in the field I love.
In January 2010, Mrs. Anchia was involved in a tragic road accident that deeply affected the Cameroon GCE Board. While she survived the accident, her health challenges persisted. Despite this, she continued to show her characteristic strength, love, and resilience for three more years.
Sadly, on a somber day in December 2013, Mrs. Mary Anchia passed away. Yet, her legacy of love, strength, and care lives on in the hearts of those who knew her. Her unwavering dedication to her family and community, as well as her ability to uplift those around her, cement her place as a true woman of valor.
As we remember Mrs. Anchia, we honor her unwavering spirit, her love for her family, and her guidance that shaped so many lives, including mine. She will always remain a guiding force and a testament to the power of love and selflessness.
