Musician Choirmaster delivered a deeply emotional farewell to his late wife, actress and entrepreneur Beverly Ama Afaglo-Baah, saying her unwavering faith, resilience and generosity had profoundly changed his life.
Speaking during the funeral service held at the frontage of the State House in Accra on Saturday, August 8, the musician reflected on the personal qualities that defined Beverly beyond her public career, describing her as a woman who loved deeply, gave selflessly and strengthened his faith.
In his tribute, Choirmaster thanked his late wife for the encouragement and support she gave him throughout their marriage and for the family they built together.
“Thank you for your encouragement of the beautiful family we built together. Thank you for every prayer, every act of kindness; you strengthened my faith,” he said.
He noted that while many Ghanaians knew Beverly for her work in the film industry, he had the privilege of experiencing her kindness and compassion away from the spotlight.
“Many knew you as a gifted actress and an endearing actress. But I knew of the beautiful heart behind every achievement. You loved deeply and gave generously. And you never once sought recognition,” he said.
Choirmaster also paid tribute to Beverly’s contribution to Ghana’s entertainment industry, saying her performances had inspired and comforted many people.
“Through your acting and film works, you touched countless hearts with hope and kindness, especially with Traffic Shawarma,” he stated.
A significant part of his tribute focused on Beverly’s courage during her illness. He said that despite the difficult battle she faced, she remained steadfast in her faith and became a source of strength for him.
“Even in the midst of your battle, you never stopped trusting God. You comforted me when I was afraid. Your resilience, courage, and steadfast belief in God’s promises inspire me every day,” he said.
He added that watching her endure suffering with faith and dignity had permanently transformed him.
“Witnessing your strength has changed me forever. Rest well, my queen. I love you,” he said.
The funeral drew a large gathering of family members, friends and colleagues from Ghana’s entertainment industry, many of whom attended to honour Beverly’s memory and celebrate her life.
Among those present were Yvonne Nelson, Van Vicker, Nana Ama McBrown, Jackie Appiah, Adjetey Annan, Roselyn Ngissah, Selassie Ibrahim, Rex Omar, Obour, the Keche music group, Captain Planet of 4×4, businessman Ibrahim Mahama and John Dumelo, Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon.
