Mmesoma-Morré Mercy-Clarissa Nwachukwu was born on August 6, 2025, a precious blessing sent from God. On December 22, 2025, she was gently called home to eternal rest. Though her time on earth was brief, her life carried divine purpose and left an everlasting imprint of love on the hearts of her family. From the moment she entered this world, Mmesoma embodied innocence, purity, and the beauty of God's creation. She was lovingly entrusted to her parents, Morris Nwachukwu and Shatawnee Robinson, who cherished her deeply and held her as a sacred gift from the Lord. Her gentle presence, though quiet and tender, brought immeasurable joy, hope, and unity to her family. Along with a beautiful smile and at times serious facial expressions. Although she was four and a half months, her soul had definitely been here before as she expressed that with her beautiful eyebrows. Especially when she watched her favorite cartoon. The Boss babies with her twin brother and big sister, Morris and Miyanna. Mmesoma's life serves as a reminder that God's plans are perfect, even when they are difficult to understand. While her family longed for more time, they find comfort in knowing that she now rests safely in the arms of Jesus, free from pain and sorrow. Her short life speaks powerfully of God's grace, mercy, and the sacredness of every soul. She is lovingly survived by her parents; her beloved siblings, Miyanna and Mmesoma's twin brother, Morris; her grandparents, great-grandparents; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family/friend members who will forever cherish her memory.

Magoliene Ward-Enyard was born December 31, 1951 in Pelahatchie, Mississippi to the parents of Maggie and Hosie Ward. She was the last child out of five children. Soon after her birth the family migrated to Los Angeles, California in search of a better life. Magoliene grew up in a warm loving home filled with family.
She attended Kindergarten to 6th grade at Lincoln Elementary, 7th - 9th grade at Ralph Bunch Jr. High School, 10th - 12th grade at Centennial Sr. High School, where she was known for her performances in the school talent shows, as well as cheering with the Centenettes. her love for music began early on, as her mother and father would always encourage their babies to sing. They purchased a family piano that their children amd friends gathered around on Sundays to sing songs. Magoliene was known for her kindred spirit. As a teenager she would look forward to spending her summers taking care of her niece and nephews. As an adult she unselfishly spent most of her time assisting her mother and taking care of loved ones who had taken ill. so it was to no surprise that Magoliene would pursue a career in the medical field.
Soon after high school, Magoliene attended the Bryman Institute, graduating with duo certificates as a CNS and a medical assistant. She earned her first job at Athens Park Hospital as a CNA in Los Angeles, California. For several years, she worked for Dr. Mosely, until she has to abruptly stop working to care for her parents who had taken ill.
In the late 1970's, Magoliene met and married Cecil John Enyard in a beautiful front yard wedding that she'd planned and decorated from beginning to end. Magoliene knew how to throw a party, from flowers, furs, feathers, etc. If it was over the top, it was Mag (as she was affectionately known by close friends and family). Being the power couple of their time, Magoliene and Cecil became proud young black business owners of The Sound Boutique, which was located in Compton, California. The Sound Boutique would become 1 of the three businesses that she owned and operated.
In the 1990's, Magoliene pursued a career in education, becoming a Parent-Teacher Facilitator for the Los Angeles School District. Which bridged the gap between parents and teachers, by creating necessary relationships for the interest of the children. She was praised by her administrators as well as the parents for her outstanding leadership.
Soon after her death of her first born son, Larry Haynes, Magoliene moved to Las Vegas where she would make her home enjoying her grandchildren and great grand children until she was called home on December 19, 2021.
