On Friday 15th January, a gem passed on from this world. Mrs. Baah, known affectionately to many as Auntie Do, was a mother, a wife, an auntie, a friend, a confidante, a cheerleader and a teacher to many of us. She was the kind of teacher whose classroom you never wanted to leave. It was common to see groups of newly minted form 1 students drifting back to the GIS junior school in the afternoon to visit her even though they had just left months before. She spoke with a flourish—her hands waving and sweeping, her voice rising and following on every other sentence, so that the simplest of lessons felt like a grand speech. Her huge smile and dimples were never far behind her words. Generations of class 6 students experienced her light, her faith in the abilities of each of us, her sense of humour, and her loving but firm reminders to behave. She dispensed guidance and light-hearted stories with the same ease, and if you listen carefully, you can probably still hear her laughing. She will be missed beyond any of the words she helped us to write can adequately convey.
For decades, Mrs. Baah’s family shared her unselfishly with us all. All donations will be sent directly to the account of Mrs Baah's family. In such a time as this where we are unable to be there in the flesh, may we use this as an opportunity to celebrate, “from all the countries of the earth”, a vivacious life that was lived in abundance.
Da yie, Auntie Do. Forever loved, never forgotten.
