FROM ADJOA MADAME COFIE It is with a heavy heart that I write this tribute to my dearest Aunty. Obaa, as I affectionately called her, was just a beautiful woman. She was simply, beautiful inside out. She always had a beautiful smile on and had the cutest popping cheeks. My mother Akua Atta together with her elder sister Obaa Yaa raised me up. Obaa was a trained teacher and believed in the power of education. She ensured I attended all the good schools her colleagues had opened: The late Mrs. Asare’s Mother Care Nursery School, Then to the late Mrs. Seriboe’s Morning Star School. And to Obaa’s school in Teshie 5&6 where she personally prepared me to write my common entrance exams which I passed and got admitted into St Mary’s Secondary School. The First 14 years of my life were mostly spear headed by Obaa Yaa and I am happy to have had the chance to reciprocate paa. Aseda Nkoaa. I ensured I gave Obaa the best of her last 15 years on this beautiful earth. There was nothing, and absolutely nothing, Obaa asked for that I did not give her, plus more. Our love for each other was mutual. I honestly could write a book about my Aunty. Losing Obaa felt like the grounds just shifted beneath my feet but I must say, I feel blessed to have had her as an Aunty, and I find consolation in knowing that Obaa knew she was transitioning and served her maker to the end. Obaa, Aunty Obaa Yaa, Rest in Perfect Peace. TRIBUTE W 23 A Loving Farewell 1934 MRS. OBAA YAA AFRIFA 2025
