Olusola Olajumoke Shobayo

Olusola Olajumoke Adepeju Shobayo, Snellville, Georgia died on Monday, January 25, 2021 at Eastside Medical Center at the age of 49 years. She was preceded in death by her father Prince Adeola Omodara.

Sola as she was fondly called by family and friends was born to the family of Prince Adeola and Gladys Omodara on the 22nd of February, 1971. Sola started her education at Sacred Heart Convent School, Ring Road, Ibadan in 1973 and later transferred to Omolere Nursery and Primary School, Akure due to the creation of new states in Nigeria. She proceeded and completed her High School education at St Louis Girls’ School, Akure. She attended College of Education, Ikere for her National Certificate of Education, after which she relocated to the United States of America in search of better opportunities. Sola tried her hands at different vocations, and eventually bagged a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She secured a federal government job in Nevada, and spent her time between Atlanta and Nevada, while working on a Master’s degree.

It was in Atlanta, Georgia that she met and got married to her husband, Mr. Gbadebo Shobayo and the marriage was blessed with three lovely children; Amos, Gladys, and Joel. Sola was a woman of many parts, a social butterfly, and a rallying point. She was a God- fearing woman, who loved the Lord with all her heart. She loved music and singing, always smiling, no matter what she was going through.

Sola is survived by her husband, three children, an aged mother, brothers, sisters, and host of nieces, nephews, cousins and a retinue of friends. She will be greatly missed, but we know that she is resting in the bosom of her Lord, Jesus Christ.

A Celebration of Sola’s Life will be held on Saturday, February 6, 2021, at 11:00 a.m., at the Wages & Sons Funeral Home Chapel, 1040 Main Street, Stone Mountain, GA 30083. She will be laid to rest at Melwood Cemetery, 5170 E Ponce de Leon Avenue, Stone Mountain, GA., 30083, immediately after the service.
