NANA RAMSEYER NI, AUNTIE MAGGIE OF KUMASI ASOKWA, NANA BAA REST IN PEACE TILL THE DAY OF RESURRECTION.
NANA's ONE WEEK CELEBRATION IS TOMORROW---12/03/2015.
BURIAL AND FUNERAL RITES IS ON THE 22ND / 23RD OF APRIL, 2015.
In Life, Nanabaa was married to the late Mr PETER OSEI of blessed memory, who hailed from Asante Feyiase. Their fruitful marriage produced 7 children. One, the late Emmanuel Osei, painfully preceded Nana in as far as crossing the Great River goes.
Having endured the vicissitudes of life, Nana and her children--the elderly ones at least ably assisted her husband as would be required of a wife, meeting with success, in as far as managing to put up something worthwhile to be remembered for, i.e in Kumasi and in another West African country. Back in the days, it was a residence of note, in Kumasi--Asokwa.
Nana Baa, merekyia Nana Boatemaa(your sister), Nana Yaw Barima ene Nana Kobiri-nko, otherwise known as Nana Nko. Mee nkyia Nananom Adikanfo, yes, those who granted me the privilege of accessing their ''beyond the grave'' habitation and were prepared to hand down some detailed histories. Yes, truthfully, some are gathered after passing on.
Nana's cousin was the late Nana Mponponsuo, Nana Adiyia--pronounced: ( Err-dee-yee-a ), not ( Err-dee-yaa ) of Kumasi.
Nana Baa, Da Yie
Due Due Due, Due Ne Amanehunu
