Akindele said her mother’s teachings, knowledge, and discipline shaped her into the woman she is today.
In a moving tribute, she prayed for her mother’s soul to rest in peace and promised to continue making her proud.
In her tribute, Funke wrote:
"My darling Mother, today marks 3 years since you left us. Mummy, you were a selfless queen who gave us the best education, taught us to believe in ourselves, and raised strong children. Your legacy lives on in me, my siblings, and your grandchildren. Your teachings, knowledge, and discipline shaped me into who I am today. I celebrate you, mummy. May your kind soul continue to rest in peace. We love you, miss you, and will keep making you proud."

Funke and her siblings lost their mother on February 7, 2023, announcing her passing on Instagram and submitting to God’s will in the wake of their loss.
