Joyce Mbugua delivered an emotional memorial tribute for her daughter, gospel musician Betty Bayo, who died while undergoing treatment for leukemia at Kenyatta National Hospital. The mother recalled nurturing her youngest child's Christian faith from an early age and watching her develop into a devoted believer who eventually discovered her musical calling after experiencing melodies within herself.
Mbugua recounted how her daughter relocated her from rural areas, constructed a contemporary residence for her comfort, and later facilitated her move to America. The bereaved parent expressed profound gratitude for the transformation Bayo brought to her life and pledged enduring love for her grandchildren Sky and Danny.
Bayo gained recognition throughout Kenya's gospel community through her spiritual depth and authentic songwriting that connected with Christian listeners. Her composition 11th Hour accumulated over 189,000 streams as her most successful track, alongside other widely appreciated recordings including Siyabonga and Thiiri that continue resonating with audiences.
