 Sholape Rashidat Animashawun, worked at CIBC and TD banks. However, her burning desire to become a nurse where she could trade her skill for humanity especially for sick people pushed her into a four year nursing degree program at George Brown College and Ryerson University in Toronto. She completed the program in 2008 and was working at Brampton Hospital when she suddenly took ill and died at the early age of 45 years.

She was a caring mother, kind hearted and loved by all. Apart from her husband and kids, she left behind a father, mother and siblings.
Although Shola does not have sickle cell disease, her family continues to grant a scholarship for youths with SCD in her memory
