She had two children with Jomo Kenyatta: Peter Muigai Kenyatta (1920) and Margaret Wambui (1928). Grace Wahu died in April 2007 at the age of around 100.
Famous quotes containing the word grace:
“He prayed more deeply for simple selflessness than he had ever prayed before—and, feeling an uprush of grace in the very intention, shed the night in his heart and called it light. And walking out of the little church he felt confirmed in not only the worth of his whispered prayer but in the realization, as well, that Christ had become man and not some bell-shaped Corinthian column with volutes for veins and a mandala of stone foliage for a heart.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
