A Tribute to Ma Baffoa – Our Shelter and Strength
Ma Baffoa, you were the heart of our family — a pillar of love, faith, and quiet strength.
You came from a lineage of powerful women, shaped by Granny’s deep prayers and boundless care.
Like her, your love extended across generations — always remembering, always giving, always present.
You embodied the Adinkra symbols that reflect the essence of who you were:
Eban – our shelter and safety
Duafe – nurturing beauty and grace
Nkyinkyim – resilience through life’s winding path
Ese Ne Tekrema – truth and love in harmony
Woforo Dua Pa A – support and upliftment
Nyame Nwu Na Mawu – eternal life in God
Even in illness, your faith never wavered.
You changed the narrative with your words:
“Every day is a plus one — a chance to take one more step forward.”
You gave to all, loved fiercely, and constantly reminded us to stay united and grounded in faith.
And in your own quiet way, you cheered us on through life’s many seasons.
“That’s my son!” you would say with pride, even over the smallest win.
“Whatever you do, make me proud.”
You celebrated every milestone — even the most negligible ones — with joy and warmth, proudly saying:
“That’s my boy.”
We know you were tired — you fought long and hard for us.
But as human as we are, the Oliver Twist in us still pleads for one more plus one… just one more day.
Yet we take consolation in knowing that God knows best — and you deserve to rest.
So we hold on to the moments and memories, to the words and wisdom you left behind.
Though our hearts are heavy, we hold fast to your prayers, your grace, and your enduring spirit.
You fought with dignity, loved with intention, and lifted others without seeking reward.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
— 2 Timothy 4:7

We celebrate your life, Ma Baffoa — Auntie Amelia, Ekua Baffoa —
and thank God for the gift of you.
Your love, your faith, and your words will carry us always.
Your legacy lives on in every one of us who heard you say,
“That’s my child — make me proud.”

The few times I spent around Auntie Amelia was enough to affect my perspective on life. Although life kept throwing life altering obstacles at her she was nevertheless full of life. Auntie, the never-give-in attitude lives on in the ones you raised, and hopefully the rest of us who are lucky to have known you. You’ve earned your rest. RIPP.
