Dr Uchenna Okoye

Hard to know what’s appropriate at the moment but because I’ve talked about my friend Dr Uchenna Okoye so much on this site it feels right to let you know that she has died very unexpectedly.

I loved being her friend – she was one of life’s joys – persuasive, ambitious, kind, loving and impossibly hard working. She was such an asset to the beauty industry and immersed herself in it dispensing advice and specializing in treating those who had a fear of dentistry.

Her heart was always good, her daughter her biggest blessing in life and she was such a proud, proud mum. She made fun of me all the time for not being a ‘hugger’ and sometimes squished one in anyway. I’ll miss her to my last days – not least because she’s in my smile every morning and last thing at night. I didn’t want my teeth straightening but here I am, with a much better smile than I ever had because she was adamant that I’d like it after she’d done it. And I do. I’m really so sorry that she is gone. She has a loving family with strong faith and I hope it sustains them in some way as we all get used to life without her.

    Thought immediately of you when the horribly sad news of Dr Uchenna’s passing broke on social media. I didn’t know her but loved her contributions to ‘10 Years Younger’- I don’t think you can fake authenticity and connection. Sending you (and especially hers) a big non-hugger hug.

    Losing people early is such a shock. Sometimes it’s just too close to home. Only time helps with these things, and there is no limit on that time. Take that little dog out and spend the time thinking of all the lovely times you spent together.

  11. What an awful loss. She always seemed so lovely on TV, I had promised myself that when I could afford it I’d be going to see her to sort out my teeth, I was looking forward to the time I could do it and nobody looks forward to going to the dentist. So sorry you have lost your wonderful friend.
