Aderike Coker, Reisterstown, MD—In loving memory of Aderike Coker, her community is coming together to honor her remarkable life and legacy. Aderike passed away recently, leaving behind a deep impact on her coworkers, friends, and family, who fondly remember her as a pillar of strength, kindness, and generosity.
Aderike, affectionately known as Ricky, was not only a coworker but also a friend and a mentor to many. She worked tirelessly at FutureCare Cherrywood, where her dedication and love for her colleagues and patients were evident in everything she did. Whether it was her commitment to her patients or her thoughtful gestures, like bringing food for both the morning and evening shifts or giving personalized gifts, Aderike’s presence made everyone around her feel valued.
Her close friend and coworker, who also served as her primary GNA, shared how blessed she felt to have known Aderike like a sister. Despite occasional disagreements over patient care, there was always mutual respect and a shared goal of providing the best care possible. Even after Aderike’s passing, her influence continues to guide her colleagues.
To celebrate Aderike’s life and contributions, her friends and former coworkers have planned a memorial service. The event will take place on Friday, October 25th, at 5 p.m. at FutureCare Cherrywood, located at 12020 Reisterstown, MD 21136. Aderike’s legacy will also live on through the establishment of the Aderike Coker Continuing Nursing Education Benefit Scholarship, designed to encourage others to follow in her footsteps and continue serving the elderly population with the same compassion and dedication that she did.
In addition to honoring Aderike’s memory, a fundraiser has been organized by Gladys Fai to support the memorial service and the scholarship. Donations have been pouring in, with contributors like Lilian Sophrey ($300), Vanessa Ramsahoye ($50), Marquita Eubanks ($100), and Dawn Woraley ($300) generously supporting the cause. FutureCare’s owner, Gary Atman, has pledged to match every dollar raised, further ensuring that Aderike’s legacy will be honored in a way that reflects her significant contributions to her community.
Aderike Coker may be gone, but she will never be forgotten. She will live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew her, her memory cherished by all. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and coworkers during this difficult time.
We pray for Aderike Coker’s soul to rest in peace and for her family and friends to find strength and comfort as they navigate this profound loss.
