She died on March 23, 2026, leaving behind a legacy that quietly shaped some of Nigeria’s most memorable film moments and worship experiences.

Beyond her talent, he remembered her playful spirit, her humor, and the little moments that defined her, from childhood memories to the affectionate nicknames they shared.
Even in her final days, he recalled, her laughter remained, a testament to her strength and the light she carried within her. Onos Brisibi is survived by her daughter, Sarah, her mother, siblings, and a wide circle of loved ones whose lives she touched deeply. She was also a cherished member of her church community at LoveWorld Ministries.
Though her voice may now be silent, the impact of her music and the memories she created will continue to echo, in hearts, in films, and in the faith she so passionately shared.
She will be deeply missed.
