FROM THE TESHIE NUNGUA UNITED CHURCH It is with deep sorrow and shock that we, the Teshie Nungua United Church family, received the news of the passing of our beloved Mrs. Victoria Obaa Yaa Afrifa. This came as a great surprise to us, as she was seen in church just a month before her passing. Obaa Yaa as we affectionately called her was one of the early worshippers of our church and a devoted servant of the Lord. “Obaa Yaa, a cherished member of the Women’s Fellowship, Patron of the Church Choir and a member of the Thursday-born group, was a woman of kindness and resilience. Her name was not just a title but a reflection of her identity, one she lived out with grace every day.” Her love for God was evident in her life and service, and it was therefore not surprising that she served as the first church keeper for many years. Together with her family, she organized young men in the neighbourhood to clean the church every Sunday, ensuring that the house of God remained clean and welcoming. She was committed to the growth of the church, faithfully meeting her financial obligations and generously using her resources to support its work. Obaa Yaa was always ready to serve and was almost always counted among the functionaries during harvests and other church programmes. Her dedication and willingness to serve were truly admirable. In December 2026, she fell ill, and the Resident Minister administered Holy Communion to her. Even in her final days, her faith remained strong. “We take solace in the word of God in Revelation 14:13, which assures us that ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, they will rest from their labour, for their deeds will follow them.’ Mrs. Victoria Obaa Yaa Afrifa will be dearly missed by the entire church family. We are, however, comforted by the knowledge that she lived a life devoted to God and His service. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. TRIBUTE W 35 A Loving Farewell 1934 MRS.
