Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife Rebecca Miano has led top government officials
in mourning the passing of Winnie Wanjiru Thegu, the beloved spouse of the Moderator of the 24th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA).

In a heartfelt condolence message, CS Miano described Wanjiru as a woman who served faithfully and left a lasting impact.

“Wanjiru, you served. We are comforted that God has called you home,” wrote Miano on social media. “To our 24th GA Moderator, in this time of sorrow, remember that God promises eternal life and peace. Rest well.”

According to Miano, Wanjiru was so vital in the development of the church especially on Women projects which she spearheaded in various forums.

Wanjiru passed away on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the Kenyatta Teaching, Research and Referral Hospital. Her passing has left a deep void not only within her family but also among the PCEA fraternity and the broader faith community across the nation.

The PCEA General Assembly announced a series of services to honor her life. Consolation services will be held from Sunday, May 4, to Tuesday, May 6, at PCEA St. Andrews Church in Nairobi, beginning each day at 4:00 PM. A memorial service is scheduled at the same venue on Wednesday, May 7, at 2:00 PM. The final burial will take place at PCEA Kiamabara Church, Mathaithi Parish in Tumutumu Presbytery, on Thursday, May 8, starting at 10:00 AM.

The church community and national leaders continue to rally around the Moderator’s family during this time of grief. Many have expressed admiration for Wanjiru’s strength, humility, and dedication to ministry.

In the words of Job 1:21, “The Lord gave and He has taken away; may His name be praised.” Wanjiru’s legacy of faith and service will remain etched in the hearts of many.
