The Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has signed a book of condolence for the late Abola Queen Mother, Naa Anorkor Okaitso III, at the Abola Palace in Accra.<\/p>\n
The Abola Queen Mother passed away on March 29, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of dedication to her community and traditional leadership.<\/p>\n
King Teiko Tsuru II expressed his heartfelt condolences to the family and people of Abola, praising the queen mother\u2019s selfless service and contributions to the development of the Ga State.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur love, our world is gone but there\u2019s hope that you have not passed for nothing but that you still live in the memories of our hearts,\u201d the Ga Mantse said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRest in peace, our love. Rest in peace, our lady of Abola,\u201d he prayed.<\/p>\n
Dignitaries, traditional leaders, and residents of Abola have been signing the book of condolence since its opening on October 1.<\/p>\n
The late Abola Queen Mother was born Mary Hyde-Greassli in 1938 and reigned for 33 years.<\/p>\n
She was enstooled in 1991 with the stool name Naa Okaitso III, and carried on the esteemed legacy of her family.<\/p>\n
As the great-granddaughter of Naa Okaitso I (Klu Nye) and niece of queen mother Naa Okaitso II, she played a pivotal role in the cultural and spiritual life of the Ga State, according to the traditional authority.<\/p>\n
The Abola Traditional Council said her leadership was marked by strength, dignity, and a deep commitment to blending tradition with modernity.<\/p>\n
During her reign, Naa Anorkor Okaitso III was instrumental in youth development, cultural advocacy and volunteerism.<\/p>\n
She was said to be a dedicated Christian, who was an active member of the All Saints Anglican Church in Adabraka.<\/p>\n
The Council said Naa Okaitso III was highly respected in both religious and civic circles, and her tireless service and numerous accolades were known internationally.<\/p>\n
\u201cNaa Okaitso III\u2019s legacy will live on through the many lives she touched and the traditions she worked tirelessly to uphold,\u201d the Council said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Funeral rites for the Abola Queen Mother are scheduled to take place from November 1 to 3, 2024.<\/p>\n
