Families across Ghana are preparing to bid farewell to two cherished matriarchs, Mrs. Evelyn Naa-Otua Addo and Madam Comfort Naana Owusu, whose final rites have been scheduled for late August 2026. These announcements mark a period of mourning and celebration of life for the respective families, as they invite the community to join in honoring the legacies of a beloved great-grandmother and a dedicated community member. The transition of these two women represents a significant moment of reflection for their families and the religious communities they served.

The transition of Mrs. Evelyn Naa-Otua Addo will be commemorated with a series of services at the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) Christ Temple East in Teshie. A burial service is slated for Thursday, August 20, 2026, starting at 9:00 am, which will be followed by a private interment. The family has requested that sympathizers and well-wishers wear white for both the burial and the subsequent Thanksgiving service, the latter of which will take place on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 10:00 am at the same venue. Mrs. Addo is remembered as a cornerstone of her family, serving as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

In a separate announcement, the family of Madam Comfort Naana Owusu, affectionately known as Misfere, has shared details for her home-going ceremony following her passing on July 26, 2026, at the age of 72. Madam Owusu passed away at the Nar Bita Hospital in Tema, leaving behind a legacy rooted in her community of Ekumfi Adansimaim. Her burial service is scheduled for Saturday, August 29, 2026, at the St. Paul Methodist Cathedral, followed by final funeral rites and a private interment. The mourning period will conclude with a Thanksgiving service on Sunday, August 30, 2026. Attendees are advised to wear black for the Saturday service and a combination of black and white for the Sunday thanksgiving.

These upcoming ceremonies provide an opportunity for friends, extended family, and the broader public to pay their final respects to two women who significantly impacted their domestic and local spheres. As preparations conclude, the families of both Mrs. Addo and Madam Owusu have expressed their gratitude for the support received during this difficult time. The services in Teshie and Tema are expected to draw a wide range of mourners, reflecting the deep roots both women established within their respective religious and social circles.
