Daramola-Salako shared that her mother courageously endured a five-year struggle with stroke before her demise.
“My mom was my rock, my everything. She faced a stroke battle for five long years. Ironically, the year she received her visa during the COVID-19 pandemic was when her health declined. No one could ever replace her.

The acclaimed actress highlighted her mother’s steadfast devotion to faith, revealing that even through immense suffering, she remained grateful.
“After losing my dad at just 38, she never remarried—her life was a testament to her faith.
“Through all the agony, she never stopped praising God. I still tear up thinking about her because genuine souls like hers are rare,” she shared with deep emotion.
Reflecting on her mother’s timeless elegance, Daramola-Salako admired her natural beauty, untouched by cosmetic enhancements.
“She was stunning in her youth, all-natural—no surgeries, no enhancements, yet she radiated grace.
“I find comfort knowing she’s free from pain now, resting peacefully,” she added, her voice filled with tenderness.
