Miss CMR USA 2015 contestant’s message before her death

Marienette Ngambou Marienette Ngambou

Marienette Ngambou, one of the Miss Cameroon USA 2015 contestants in a powerful message via Youtube, talked about a rare form of ovarian cancer she was diagnosed with.

In the message a few days before her untimely death, she said her passion was to create awareness on gynecological diseases in young women in Cameroon and abroad.

She was a beautiful lady full of energy and life. Nonetheless, her predicament did not deter her from raising awareness on the cancer ailment.

Even in her hospital bed she was excited about the project to make sure more lives would be saved. Unfortunately she passed away before accomplishing that dream. However her dream and legacy still lives on.

Miss Ngambou’s memorial service will be on Saturday, June 13, 2015 at the J.B. Jenkins Funeral Home in Maryland, USA. Below is a message from the Miss Cameroon USA 2015 team who were so fond of her.

"Like every young girl, she had dreams, she had aspirations and she worked really hard. Marienette Ngambou 22 years old resided in Silver Spring, Maryland with her mother until her death 3 weeks ago.

She hails from Bali in Cameroon, beautiful, brave, courageous and very smart. She had battled a rare form of Ovarian Cancer for a whole year. She was diagnosed with Cancer right after graduation. She finally transitioned to eternity, leaving her fellow contestants, family, and friends in total shock.

She was so full of life and was preparing very hard to compete at the Miss Cameroon USA Pageant scheduled for June 20 2015 at the Best Western Hotel in Lanham. She wanted to go on to represent Cameroon at the Miss Africa USA Pageant.

Her message was simple but very strong as she told the Founder of the Pageant Lady Kate “I entered this Pageant because it gives me a huge platform to share my story, share my message about cancer awareness especially among the youth”.

The very courageous Marienette was present at the Workshop on Public Speaking to receive some training on how to speak in public and how to become a great advocate.

Today we want to share with you her message; she spoke brilliantly and eloquently at the Workshop. Please watch her video and share with your friends and family.

It is very powerful and we strongly believe that God did send us an Angel and that Angel is Marienette Ngambou. The best honor we can give her is to share this message. We know she is already in heaven and dancing with all the Angels.
