The nation has been struck by the death of Evangelist Abba Annan the mother of the renowned gospel artist Empress Gifty Osei, and a woman of many talent. Evangelist Abba Annan died on last Saturday December 14, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of faith, artistry, and devotion that shall be remembered for years to come.
While many knew her as a devout evangelist, few may realize that Abba Annan was also a celebrated actress in Ghana’s movie industry. Her performances graced many screens, captivating audiences with her vibrant personality and unmatched charisma. Her ability to balance her roles as an actress, a minister of the gospel, and a mother showcased her incredible strength and multi talents. In a heartfelt tribute, her daughter, the gospel musician Empress Gifty described her mother as a loving and supportive figure who shaped her life and career. Empress Gifty often referred to as one of Ghana’s most recognizable gospel figures who expressed her profound grief and gratitude for her mother’s sacrifices. While her musical achievements have brought her fame, one could argue that her recent ventures including hosting the Aben cooking show on UTV may have momentarily shifted focus away from her gospel roots.
Nevertheless, Evangelist Abba Annan’s impact on her daughter’s life and her own contributions to both the Christian and entertainment communities are undeniable. Her dual role as an evangelist and actress made her a unique figure which bridged the gap between ministry and the arts. Through her performances in Kumawood and her work as a preacher, she inspired many and proved that faith and creativity can go hand in hand. Evangelist Abba Annan’s passing marks the end of an era, but her legacy lives on. She was a woman of extraordinary talent and unshakable faith whose life serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, love, and purpose.
As we bid her farewell, we extend our condolences to her family, including Empress Gifty, who undoubtedly faces the challenge of stepping out of her mother’s shadow and continuing to make her proud. May Evangelist Abba Annan rest in perfect peace and may her life continue to inspire generations to come.
