My dear sister Joanne, It has been the greatest blessing to have you as my big sister—a crown you wore with such grace and honor. You always showed up for me, even in moments when you were in pain. My heart breaks knowing that my sister is no longer here. I will deeply miss the calls, the messages, the care, the dates, and so many little things that made our bond so special. You have left behind a gap that no one can fill, yet you also leave behind lasting footprints in the lives of everyone you touched. Truly, you ran your race well and kept the faith. May your soul rest in eternal peace. You will forever live in our hearts.

Dearest Joanne, I am still in shock and processing your untimely passing, somehow hoping it is not true 😢 💔 Your essence was a joy-full and loving one and I will miss seeing your warm smile which you somehow always managed to give, even when you were not feeling your best. A testament to your courage and tenacity. Go well and rest with the angels Dear Joanne 🕊️ Ours is now to make sure your legacy lives on and your story continues to inspire and uplift others beyond this lifetime 🙏🏾

With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to Joanne Chazima, the beloved wife of our Edwin Masivo. Joanne was a quiet anchor, offering unwavering support and encouragement to our team. She celebrated our successes and offered a steady hand in challenging times. Her spirit of dedication will forever be part of our company's fabric. We extend our deepest sympathies to her family. Peter Musyoki

Joanne was a remarkable woman, a phenomenal woman, a powerhouse. She was not only a mother to her children but also had the heart of a mother, a tender, caring, and loving heart that just poured onto others. She was the embodiment of love itself. Joanne cared, she truly cared about others and gave of herself fully. To me, Joanne was more than my boss, she was a mother, a friend, a confidant, and my support system. Even in her pain, she was so present in my life, I cried in her arms, stayed in her warm embrace for as long as I needed to, in some of the toughest seasons of my life while working with her. Joanne loved deeply. Seeing the passion she had for the Joanne Chazima Sickle Cell Foundation was my daily fuel to show up to work. Whenever someone asked me if I loved my job, my constant answer was, "I love why I do it." This was Joanne's passion, it was her legacy, touching and impacting the lives of the sickle cell warriors, or as she would call them, champions! And Joanne, you have left an impact on their lives, you gave them hope, you gave them strength, you saw greatness in them even when some of their families only saw a burden. Joanne, you left an indelible mark on their hearts. You did your part, and you did it well. Joanne, you can not and will not be forgotten. Joanne, I will miss you. I thank God for allowing me to have met you and served you in bringing your vision for the sickle cell community to life; it was a great honour. This still feels like one bad dream, but by the grace of God, we will all overcome. You have fought the good fight, and you have fought it well. And in all things Thou has taught me to say, it is well! Edwin, Bryson, Akim, and Arya, you have lost an incredible wife and mother, but this is a celebration of the life that she lived. I pray that the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort will comfort you and wipe every tear from your eyes, may He grant you wisdom and the strength you need in this season. It is well 🙏.

Words can't explain how heartbroken I feel about your demise.Joanne was a compassionate,social,caring and a person with a good heart.You brought us together as warriors and taught us so many things,you even supported us In many ways and your death is a lose to many.You are a great person and will forever live in our hearts,our memories will live with us forever...Rest in peace our beacon🙏

I will always cherish the moments shared with Joanne. More than a client, she was a true friend whose kindness and trust touched my hearts. Your memory will live on with gratitude and respect. Rest in peace.

Joan, my dear niece, your sudden departure on 28th August left me in terrible shock and pain. You were a great fighter and bravely fought the sickle cell disease. Your courage and determination to carry the twins to full term amazed me. As a mother you did a great job in raising your children. They are so adorable. You took great care of your house, making it beautiful place to be. Your husband was so proud of you and would refer to you as his queen. You sure had a zest for life and any time I had functions/parties at my home you were always ready to join in the cooking, serving and entertaining the guests. Often time you took charge of the music. You loved to sing and dance, and all present (young and old) would gladly join in the fun. Rest in peace dear girl as you sing and dance with the angels Senge Margaret Anguzuzu Mutiso

Your life was a blessing Your memory a treasure You are loved beyond words and missed beyond treasure. May your legacy live on. Rest in eternal peace dear Joanne

Though I did not have the chance to know you personally, I see the love, strength, and light you shared. Your impact is evident in the lives and hearts of those around you. May your memory remain a blessing and a source of comfort to your family and loved ones. May your soul rest in eternal peace.
