The beloved matriarch, who transitioned to glory at the age of 88, is remembered for her unwavering faith, prayerful life, motherly love and the generations she inspired.
The LoveWorld Nation and the wider Christian community continue to celebrate the life and legacy of Highly Esteemed Deaconess Angel Oyakhilome, affectionately known as “Big Mummy,” whose life of faith, love and service left a lasting impact across generations.
Deaconess Angel, the mother of Rev. Dr Chris Oyakhilome, President of LoveWorld Nation, transitioned to glory on September 25, 2026, at the age of 88.
Married to the late Elder T.E. Oyakhilome, she raised seven children in a Christian home founded on the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Her commitment to raising her family in the ways of God became one of the defining features of her legacy, with her children going on to serve in Christian ministry.
Beyond her immediate family, Big Mummy became a mother figure to many within the LoveWorld community. She was remembered for her warmth, wisdom, prayers, encouragement and genuine affection for those who encountered her.
Pastor Chris has spoken about the important role his mother played in shaping his life, highlighting the Christian foundation she established in their home and the values she instilled in her children.
Her passing has drawn tributes from prominent personalities, ministry leaders and members of the global LoveWorld family. Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo described her as a remarkable matriarch and a respected pillar within the LoveWorld community, while other well-wishers have celebrated her contribution to raising a family dedicated to Christian service.
For many who knew her, the name Big Mummy represents more than a title. It reflects a life of motherly affection, spiritual influence and a legacy that extended far beyond her household.
The LoveWorld Nation is preparing to honour her through a series of homegoing ceremonies scheduled from November 23 to December 2, 2026, across Benin City, Ewu in Edo State and the LoveWorld Campground in Aseese, Ogun State, Nigeria.
As the family, friends and global Christian community prepare to celebrate her life, Deaconess Angel Oyakhilome is remembered as a woman whose greatest legacy was the faith she lived, the family she nurtured and the countless lives touched by her love.
Her earthly journey has ended, but her testimony of faith continues through the generations she inspired.
Big Mummy lives on — in faith, in love and in the lives she touched.
