Jennifer Odonwodo, widow of the late Nollywood actor Junior Pope Odonwodo, has mourned the loss of her father-in-law, Ozor Luke Odonwodo, just one year after the tragic death of her husband.
Jennifer took to her Instagram account on Wednesday to share a heartfelt tribute, disclosing that she had seen her father-in-law in Enugu only weeks before his passing.
According to her, she received a call days later from her mother-in-law informing her of his death.
Jennifer described Ozor Luke Odonwodo as a kind and loving man who lived a full life and cared deeply for his family.
Amid the deep sorrow of losing both her husband and father-in-law in quick succession, Jennifer clung to a sense of hope in the promise of resurrection, finding solace in the words of the Bible, particularly in John 5:28-29 and Acts 24:15.
She wrote, “Barely a month ago, I was with you in Enugu… Some days later, Reme (my mother in love) called, asked how I and her boys were doing, and then told me that her husband had gone to meet my husband. 😢 😭 I screamed but had to quickly compose myself as she began to cry.

“Ozor Luke Odonwodo was a man who genuinely loved me, and I am so thankful I got to spend time with him, albeit unknowingly, in his final days.
“He passed as an octogenarian who lived a good life, paid his dues, sacrificed greatly for his family and loved ones, and happily reaped the fruits of his labour.
“Reme, Nwanyiomam, this is truly a lot within one year, but I pray God grants you and all of us the strength to keep pushing, no matter how hard it seems.
“Adieu, Father and Son. You are sorely missed, but we hold onto the promises of resurrection in John 5:28-29 and Acts 24:15. Ozor Luke Odonwodo and Junior Pope Odonwodo, may your gentle souls rest in perfect peace until we meet to part no more.”
Recall that Jennifer and her family recently held a one-year remembrance ceremony for her late husband.
