Aregash Ayele Habtu

Aregash Ayele Habtu, loving mother, grandmother, and friend to many passed away on July 18, 2023,
surrounded by her grandchildren, daughters, and son-in-law. She was 87 years old.
Aregash was born in Port Sudan, Sudan, the oldest of four children. After marrying her husband Semo
Dess-alegn, she moved to Liberia and eventually Ethiopia, where she had her two daughters, Bazghina-
Werq and Maedot. Aregash had a long career with the United Nations in Ethiopia, where she worked for
more than 25 years. In her retirement years, she split her time between caring for her aging mother, and
helping care for her grandchildren here in the United States.
A devout Christian, Aregash’s spirituality is what brought her peace throughout her life—she spent
many hours each day in prayer, meditation, and reading God’s word. She will be remembered for her
generous spirit and her gentle soul.
Family and friends will gather Saturday, July 22, from 9 to 10 a.m. at Daley Life Celebration Studio, 1518
Kings Highway, Swedesboro, NJ where there will be a 10 a.m. service. Burial will follow at Lake Park Cemetery, Woolwich Twp.

Dear: My beloved Auntie Aregash

I may have sent a message but there aren’t words to describe how you mean to me. You know me as a little boy and you’ve always been my favorite. I loved you then of your kinder spirit. You were My GOD given Auntie. I still have you playing like a movie every conversation whether on the phone or in person we shared about family and life. We couldn’t get off the phone quickly since we taken hours of our delicious conversations. It’s like we have met in another life. You were my best friend where we shared secrets and laughs together. I don’t know anyone who had this much of wisdom and humor as well as an infectious personality like yours.

I’ll miss you deeply but time to time i’ll call on you for your spirit to guide me.

You’re Irreplaceable & an infectious Smile with a angelic voice.

Don’t worry i’ll think of you every season of conversation with you. It won’t be life you’ve left us.

I appreciate you for being in the darkest hours of our lives where there were no to turn.

We were praying for you even before you were admitted in the hospital.

I pray you’re rekindled with everyone you’ve missed here.

Please send my love to everyone when you see them especially to Emma & Aunt Maria!!\

You Will forever be Cemented in Our Hearts !!

I Thank You & adore You Auntie Aregash for caring for us & to have been a great sister to our Mothers!!

Mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Micky
