Nollywood Star Faithia Williams Mourns Mother’s Passing

 

Nollywood actress, Faithia Williams, has announced the death of her beloved mother, bringing sorrow to the film star and her family.

In an emotional post shared on Instagram on Monday, the actress revealed that her mother passed away on the eve of the celebrations for her 55th birthday. Faithia disclosed that she was unaware of her mother’s demise while hosting the birthday party on Sunday, February 7.

She described her mother as her “cheerleader, prayer warrior, best friend, and gist partner,” emphasizing the invaluable role she played in her life.

“Dear friends, it was my 55th birthday on Thursday, February 5. However, I chose to have a party yesterday, Sunday. Unbeknownst to me, my beloved mother died on the eve of my party, and the news was cruelly kept away from me,” Faithia wrote.

“The reality of her passing has not totally dawned on me because she was my cheerleader, prayer warrior, best friend, and gist partner, wrapped in the invaluable gift of a mother.”

While the cause of her mother’s death was not disclosed, Faithia and her family have requested privacy during this difficult period. Details regarding the burial arrangements are yet to be announced.

“Whilst I have taken solace in Allah (SWT), the Williams’ family has decided to keep things very private for now. Your love and prayers will mean a lot to me and my siblings during this period. Burial details will be announced later,” she added.

The loss comes less than two years after the actress announced the death of her father in April 2024, marking another painful chapter in her life.
