Leah Mapurisa, Dallas, TX—It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Leah Mapurisa, who died unexpectedly on Saturday, September 13th, 2024, due to complications from postpartum pre-eclampsia. Leah had recently given birth to her daughter Loreen just 25 days before her tragic passing. Her sudden death has left her family and friends in shock, and the community is coming together to support them during this difficult time.
Leah’s passing occurred after a series of medical emergencies following her delivery. On August 29th, just five days after returning home with her newborn, Leah suffered a cardiac arrest while being rushed to the emergency room. Despite receiving care at both Presbyterian Hospital Plano and later being airlifted to Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, Leah’s condition deteriorated. After being on life support for several days, she was peacefully taken off on September 6th, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones. Leah passed away a week later.
Leah is survived by her husband, Eddie Mutenure, their newborn daughter Loreen, and their 13-year-old son, Adrian. Leah also leaves behind five sisters and three brothers. Her death has placed a significant emotional and financial burden on the family, and they are asking the community for help.
A GoFundMe campaign has been organized by Fortune Chipipa to assist with funeral expenses and support for Eddie and their two children during this challenging time. The campaign has a goal of raising $20,000, and although no donations have been made yet, Leah’s friends and family are rallying to spread the word and offer their support.
Ella Mapurisa shared a heartfelt message on Facebook, urging others to donate or share the fundraiser, writing, “It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Leah Mapurisa, who tragically lost her life…” The family deeply appreciates the community’s prayers and generosity.
We extend our deepest condolences to Leah’s family and pray that they find strength and comfort as they navigate through this unimaginable loss. May Leah Mapurisa rest in peace.
