Mrs. Kaday C Kargbo

She was born on May 12, 1950 in Masongbo, Makeni, Sierra Leone, West Africa to Iye Tarawallie and Alpha Bassie Kamara. She was the 5th sibling of 12 siblings. In chronological order, they are: sister, Yabom Kamara; brother, Alfred G. Kamara; sister, Mabinty Fofona; brother, Abdul Fofona; sister, Josephene S. Kanu; brother, Abdul Kamara; brother, Issa Kamara; sister, Hawa Kamara; sister, Jariatu Kamara; sister, Rugiatu Kamara; and sister, Fatmata Kamara.

On January 1st, 1981, she married the love of her life, Charles Sheka Kargbo, who survives.

She graduated from Magbouraka Secondary School for Girls (MSSG) in 1970 and then went on to the National School of Nursing in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Her sweetheart, Charles, who had already immigrated to the United States of America before her, brought her over to Washington D.C. in 1972. She gave birth to her first son prematurely in 1973 who, sadly, passed away shortly after birth. In 1974, she started attending Strayer University in Washington, D.C. studying Elementary Education. On April 25th, 1975, she gave birth to her second son, Momoh Sheka Kargbo. To complete their family, her third son, Charles Sheka Kargbo, was born on February 28th, 1977. The family moved to Houston, TX in 1978. There, she completed her Elementary Education degree at Texas Southern University in 1984. The family made another move to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to Bedford, TX in 1985. Kaday began pursuing her degree to become a Registered Nurse at El Central College in downtown Dallas that same year. She worked diligently to try to complete that degree until she fell ill in 1998.

Ever a hard worker and the consummate matron of the family, Kaday always had a job and worked at various places while obtaining her degrees. Most notably, she worked at M.D. Anderson in 1978 working as a Patient Care Associate. After moving to Bedford, TX, she started working at Harris Methodist HEB Hospital as a Patient Care Associate from 1993 to 2004.

She is survived by her husband, Charles S. Kargbo Sr.; son and daughter-in-law, Momoh S. Kargbo and Rachael Kargbo; son and daughter-in-law, Charles S. Kargbo Jr. and Mariatu Sesay Kargbo; grandchildren, Caleb Kargbo, Christian Kargbo, Sebastian Kargbo, and Silas Kargbo; sister, Josephene S. Kanu; sister, Jariatu Kamara; sister, Rugiatu Kamara; sister, Fatmata Kamara; sister-in-law Mrs Edna Kamara; and several nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by an infant son; sister, Yabom; brother, Alfred; sister, Mabinty; brother, Abdul F.; sister, Josephene; brother, Abdul K.; brother, Issa; and sister, Hawa.

A visitation is to be held on Friday, 3/26/2021, from 4:30PM-6:30PM at J.E. Foust & Son Funeral Home in Grapevine, TX. Funeral service is to be held on Saturday, 3/27/2021, at 12:00PM at Hope International Church & Ministries at 201 Sandy Lane, Fort Worth, TX. Later that day on 3/27/2021, Kaday will be laid to rest at Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home & Memorial Park in Colleyville, TX.

Kaday may have spent many years being ill and in pain, but she never let that diminish her spark and fervor for life. She loved her family, her friends, her church, cooking, and her constant companion, her dog, Cinnamon, who is greatly mourning her loss. We are all deeply mourning her loss and look forward to the day we will be reunited with her in Heaven with our Lord, Jesus Christ.
