Grace Nortey’s Children Share Emotional Tribute At State-Assisted Funeral

The children of veteran Ghanaian actress Grace Nortey have paid an emotional tribute to their late mother, reflecting on the pain of losing someone whose presence remained central to their lives even as they grew into adults with families of their own.

Sheila Nortey delivered the tribute on behalf of her siblings during their mother’s state-assisted funeral at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra.

In a deeply personal message, Sheila spoke about the difficult reality confronting the family following the actress’s death. She noted that although the children are now grown women with children of their own, they must still face the challenge of living in a world without their mother.

“Now, even as grown women with families and children of our own, we have to learn to live in a world without our mother in it,” she said while reading the tribute.

Her words captured the lasting place Grace Nortey occupied in the lives of her children, highlighting how the loss of a parent remains deeply felt regardless of age or family responsibilities.

The tribute was presented as part of the funeral proceedings organised to honour the late actress, whose contribution to Ghana’s entertainment industry earned her recognition as one of the country’s veteran performers.

By speaking on behalf of her siblings, Sheila offered a glimpse into the family’s grief, moving beyond public tributes to share the personal experience of those who knew Grace Nortey as a mother.

The state-assisted funeral at the Forecourt of the State House brought the family and mourners together to bid farewell to the actress. The occasion also provided an opportunity to reflect on her life and the memories she leaves behind.

For her children, however, the moment carried a particularly personal meaning. Their tribute showed that while the public may remember Grace Nortey for her work on screen, her family will continue to remember her through the love, guidance and presence she gave them.

As the funeral proceedings continued in Accra, Sheila’s message stood out as a heartfelt expression of the difficult journey ahead for the actress’s children as they adjust to life after her passing.
