Honoring the Life of Mrs. Aeroplane Mary Daunemigha (1936 – 2024)

A Woman of Strength, Generosity, and Faith

Biography

Mrs. Aeroplane Mary Daunemigha was born to Youlade Doh and Doudou in Agbodobiri, Burutu LGA of Delta State in May 1936. She grew up with her mother, who was very industrious. Mama took after her mother and became industrious herself. She married Chief Jackto Kpodou Daunemigha of Pereturogbene in Ekeremor L.G.A of Bayelsa State. Mary became so industrious that she started going to Lagos to buy goods to sell in Pereturogbene and later Warri.

After her husband died in 1970, she relocated fully to Warri, Delta State, where she built houses and continued with her businesses, taking care of her only child and grandchildren.
