Obituary
Wogene was a stay at home mother of three who never got to met her fourth, a baby boy who was whisked to the NICU right after his birth because he had COVID19. In Wogene's native Amharic, her name meant "my people, my community." Her dedication to both was why she quickly became a warm and familiar presence within the Washington area's large Ethiopian community after her family emigrated from Addis Ababa, Ethopia almost a decade ago. She was 43.
