Eseosa Victoria Aghedo, a pillar of strength, love, and vibrant spirit, passed away peacefully on February 3rd, 2024 at the age of 36. Born on December 13th, 1987, in Columbia, Missouri, her life touched countless others, leaving an indelible mark on everyone who knew her.
Sosa, as she was affectionately called, was a devoted mother to her two children, Alexis Coleman and Davion Hill. Their well-being was her compass, guiding her every decision with unwavering love and care. She leaves behind a legacy of fierce maternal devotion, forever cherished by her children.
Sosa's journey began in Columbia, nurtured by the love of her parents, Festus and Naomi Aghedo. Her sisters, Eghosa Aghedo and her children, Osasenaga Aghedo, Ivie Efosa and Ikpomwosa Efosa and Sosa’s younger sister Osareti Amanda Aghedo, and niece, Onnalise Aghedo-Wright, shared a special bond with her, woven with laughter, support, and cherished memories.
Her educational pursuits led her to Hickman High School and Moberly Community College, where she honed her skills and laid the foundation for her future endeavors. Following her innate sense of style, she embarked on a 13-year career at JCPenney, adding her unique flair to the fashion world.
Driven by a deeper desire to help others, Sosa discovered her passion for adolescent psychology. This newfound purpose ignited a flame within her, leading her to work tirelessly as a behavioral health associate at Great Circle for 8 years and finally, Center Point for 3 years. Her clients adored her, recognizing her genuine warmth, unwavering empathy, and profound understanding. Sosa was not just a caregiver, she was a light of hope, guiding adolescents through their challenges with devotion, advocation and loving support, and with that she was loved and will be missed by them.
Beyond her dedication to her profession, Sosa loved spending time with friends, creating joyous memories filled with laughter and warmth. Her vibrant personality and infectious energy lit up any room, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. Sosa was an extremely loyal person who undoubtedly fought for everyone she knew.
Sosa's life was tragically cut short by cancer, but her spirit remains indomitable. She fought with courage and grace, inspiring all who knew her with her resilience and strength. Sosa was such a caring and thoughtful individual that with her last act of kindness she donated her organs.
Sosa Aghedo was more than just a name; she was a force of love, a passionate advocate, a devoted mother, a loyal friend, and a shining example of strength and resilience. Her absence leaves a void, but her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those she touched.
