You were never meant to become a memory, yet here we are, holding onto you through tears and broken hearts. Your life, though far too short, was filled with a kindness that reached further than you ever knew. This goodbye feels unsettling and incomplete, but we will forever cherish the moments we spent together. May your soul rest peacefully in the bosom of the Almighty, and may you live on in every heart you touched.
"Today we remember a remarkable person, a family friend, Ellen, who left us too soon at 41. Your kindness, love, generosity and laughter will be deeply missed. May your legacy live on through the countless lives you touched. Rest in perfect and eternal peace dear friend".
The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended; The darkness falls at Thy behest; To Thee our morning hymns ascended; Thy praise shall sanctify our rest. Sister Ellen, you’ll always be remembered for your warm hospitality. Heaven rejoices because another angel has joined them. We love you but God loves you more.
Rest well Mama Ellen, we would always remember and cherish you forever. God bless you for everything you did for us. We would miss you very much ❤️🫶
Rest in perfect peace auntie Ellen, Your beautiful smiles and aura will be greatly missed and remembered. May God protect, guide and guard your husband and kids.
Rev 14:13 KJV And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. You were a good woman. Rest well dear Ellen till we meet again in heaven.
TRIBUTE BY THE NAAH FAMILY Today, words are difficult for us. The Naah family has been struck, and our house is quiet. We did not expect to gather like this, but death does not ask permission. Among the Daffiama people, we say: “Ka te tekpoŋ le, a teŋɛ maŋ dɔɛ (When a big tree falls, the land shakes.) Our daughter has fallen, and truly the land has shaken. She was a child of this house. She knew where she came from and she did not turn her back on her people. “Baa ba inne o yi waabu zie (The river does not forget its source.) She carried the Naah name well. She was calm, respectful, and mindful of others. She did not speak loudly, but her ways spoke for her. As a wife, she stood with her husband, Alex Ewusie Mensah, not only in good days, but also in difficult ones. “Nubiri yenni koŋ baŋ zɛl tuobu (One hand cannot carry a load.) Together they carried their home. As a mother, her heart stayed with her children— Elsa, Matthew, and Alicia Ewusie-Mensah. She thought of them first and last. She worried for them, prayed for them, and lived for them. “A pɔge sukyiri la maŋ taa o biiri zaa” (A mother’s heart holds all her children.) Her voice may no longer be heard, but what she taught them will not disappear. Our pain is deepest for her mother, Madam Lydia Naah. There is no pain heavier than this. “Ka pɔge bie bɔre, o sukyiri maŋ ŋmaa la” (When a mother loses a child, her heart is cut.) We mourn also with her brother, Ernest Naah, because no one stands alone in grief. “Ka niyenne zu beɛrɛ, a yiri zaa la. (When one person is in pain, the whole family feels it.) She has gone ahead of us. She has only taken the road that all of us will one day take. “A baarooo ba e kuu, sori tuubo la. (Death is not the end; it is a journey.) Daughter of the land, go peacefully. Go and rest. Greet those who went before you. “ Teŋe na maa zie kubo (May the earth be light on you.) We remain behind with sorrow, but also with gratitude, because a good life does not disappear. “Ne velaa ba kpiire.” (A good person does not die.) You have left your name with us. You have left your children with us. You have left your memory in this house. Go well. Rest in peace. — The Naah Family
This is so tragic! I will always remember Ellen’s thoughtfulness and kindness. I am thinking of you, Mama Lydia and Professor Luginaah. I’m very sorry to hear this. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. And deepest condolences to the husband and three kinds!!
We would always cherish and remember your smiles and warm reception. Rest peacefully in the Lords arms
Ellen welcomed me with open arms and a loving heart, making me feel like I truly belonged. Her unwavering support, kindness and ever present smiles were a constant source of strength and comfort. I will forever cherish your memories and moments, albeit for a short time. She showed me the true meaning of turning friendship into family, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Your presence in my life was a gift I will always hold dear. Rest well, dear Sister.
We will always miss you. Rest in piece Ellen
Sister Ellen was a calm and loving woman who served God faithfully and always made people feel welcome with her gentle smile. She carried herself with so much grace and kindness, touching lives quietly but deeply. Her life reflected a sincere love for God and a true heart of service. I will miss her and our chitchat on Sundays. Though my heart is heavy, I find comfort in knowing she is resting peacefully with the Lord she loved and served.
May your gentle soul rest in eternal peace. Such a wonderful person, always smiling. You will be missed greatly!
May Ellen's gentle soul find eternal peace. I have fond memories of her kindness and calm demeanor, even dating back to our secondary school days. My heart goes out to her family during this difficult time.
Rest peacefully dear Ellen, you had such a gentle spirit. My sincere condolences to the family.
colleagues, It is with great sadness that I share the recent passing of a member of Team LHSC. Flags will be lowered to half-mast today at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) in memory of Ellen Naah who passed away on Friday, January 9. Ellen was a Registered Nurse in the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) at University Hospital and a valued member of Team LHSC since 2011. The following message was shared by colleagues in Cardiac Care and Orthopaedics in remembrance of Ellen: Ellen joined the Cardiology team in 2024. She was a devoted nurse whose kindness and compassion touched so many lives. She cared with a gentle heart, steady hands, and a deep sense of humanity. Her presence brought comfort and calm, and her legacy will live on in all those she cared for. She will be deeply missed and always remembered. Prior to her time in the CCU, Ellen was a member of the 9IP Orthopaedics team. During her time on 9IP, she was known for her compassion, kindness, and constant willingness to lend a helping hand. She brought a quiet strength to her work, always taking the time to listen, support, and care for those around her. Whether she was comforting a patient, reassuring a family member, or stepping in to help a colleague, Ellen did so with genuine warmth and empathy. Her calm presence and gentle spirit created a sense of safety and trust for both patients and staff. Her kindness left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her. My thoughts are with Ellen’s loved ones and all of her Team LHSC colleagues during this difficult time. Sincerely, David Musyj Supervisor London Health Sciences Centre

I still can’t believe you are gone sister Ellen. We had a wonderful time three years ago with the family together with aunty Maggie and uncle Isaac. You promised me a summer adventure on my next vacation because we couldn’t get to explore the city due to the winter. I’m lost right now Ellen!!. Your calm demeanor, radiant smile has left a lasting impression. With psalm 23 in my heart, which is not only for the living but also for the death. You are now in a peaceful and beautiful destination wrapped in Jesus’ arms. Restful peaceful sister Ellen!
