Bereaved: Founder of Oasis Medspa Loses Mom

HighLife

“Death be not proud, though some have called you mighty and dreadful, you are not so.” The English poet, John Donne, was not the first to realise this fact, but he was the first to put it in verse. But it is not easy to agree to these words, especially in the aftermath of a death. Chances are that the founder and CEO of Oasis Medspa, Freda Francis, for example, does not at all agree that death is not dreadful. Even as she mourns the demise of her mother, death’s shadow has drawn dark circles around her eyes.

On Wednesday, October 27, 2021, Mrs Rebecca Samuel Edewor, the mother of Francis, passed away in London. She was only 59 and the proud mother of the medical aesthetician and certified laser technician that is the face of Oasis Medspa, as well as Ella, her younger sister.

A memorial service was held to honour the life and times of the deceased on Thursday, November 4, 2021. With relatives and friends around her, the date of her burial was set for December 2021. Even so, the pain of her passing could be felt during the memorial service.

Francis and her younger sister, Ella, take after their late mother’s facial features. They are all beauties, to say the least. Furthermore, judging from the Oasis Medspa founder’s accomplishments, one can surmise that she inherited her diligence and intellect from the deceased. Thus, the passing of Mrs Edewor is a conspicuous gash in the hearts of her relatives, especially her children.

The late Mrs Edewor must have been very proud of Francis. The latter built Oasis Medspa from the ground up and established the premium corrective skin clinic and luxury day spa in Ikoyi, Lagos. Thankfully, Francis let her mother experience the joys of being a grandmother before she passed away.
