On Saturday January 4, 2025, Professor Faith Nguru was laid to rest in Mbeere, Embu County, in a ceremony filled with tears, gratitude and love.

Alumni, students, staff, and other mourners came from far and wide to pay tribute to this great human, reinforcing an indelible imprint she left on the community.
Shouldering her mantle as a mentor, teacher, and friend, she personified servant leadership through her support of those around her; nurturing the growth of resilience among all who came to know her. She was nothing, but a God-given gem.

Her death leaves a gap, but her impact will be felt for generations both at the heart of Daystar University and beyond. In her memory, let us continue to fight for the vision she believed in, that of a better world, a world focused on compassion and service, one where we act for the benefit of one another instead of ourselves. A perfect world.
May her soul rest in peace, and may her legacy forever be etched in the memories and lives of those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with someone as remarkable as her. Heaven indeed has a saint, and we are grateful for the time we graciously shared with her.
