Oduraa Quartey
Memorial Service

You shall forever remain in our hearts šŸ’•

As I reflect on the moments we shared, one memory stands out – our collaboration in selecting the perfect songs from Lauren Daigle’s ‘Look Up Child’ album for the induction service of CLP cohort 4. Your passion for music, your dedication to creating beautiful moments, and your unwavering friendship enriched my life in ways I can never truly express. Though you are no longer with us, your spirit and love for music will always resonate in the notes and lyrics of the songs we chose together. Your memory will forever be a part of every note played and every word sung during that induction service with Rev. Dickson Tuffour. It’s a tribute to your incredible spirit and the beautiful friendship we shared. In your absence, I will carry forward the warmth of our friendship and the music we loved so much. You may be gone, but you will never be…

In the short time Oduraa was in our lives, her presence left an indelible mark of warmth, kindness, laughter, and joy. It’s never been easy to comprehend the loss of someone so special, so quickly. I want you to know that my thoughts are with you and the rest of the family, and I hope that the memories we have of her will serve as a source of comfort and solace during this challenging time.

What we thought was a “Rising star” just turned out to be a “Shooting star”. Just a glimpse, yet you left us with so much. Thanks for teaching us that everything is possible once you put in the hardwork and trust in God. You’re amazing, Oduraa It’s not for nothing that you lived an impactful and memorable life. Too short for us to comprehend but very purpose driven. A messenger you were, and we heard you well. Till we meet again. @justoduraaā¤ļøšŸ•Š Keep singing on us

  Oduraa When a third party is able to experience you second hand, that speaks volumes about a person. I didn’t know Oduraa personally. I only met her on occasions when she would come for visiting in Achimota school as Laura and I were in the same house. Laura always speaks so highly of her. And it was really evident what a positive impact she had on Laura, and indirectly Laura’s friends at large. You were a rare gem. A gift to the world. May the Good Lord keep you safe Angel. Rest in perfect peacešŸ¤

Sending my most heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.My heart goes out to you, and I wish you nothing but comfort and strength.

I was intimidated by you because you were just so cool and everyone liked you. We’ve always sort of been in the same space but i always held back because… well, intimidation. You, however, would always say hi, you were always so friendly and now in retrospect, I wonder what I was so worried about. Even from a distance, just observing your life, hearing stories of your great strides, motivated me to sit up and do better. I wish I got to tell you this because this won’t do. But thank you, Oduraa, for being your authentic self and encouraging me to be mine. Thank you for always being nice to me every time you see me. Now I live with your mantra: “My Father is excellent, so I will also be excellent” Rest in peace super OD.

I was so intimated by you because you were so cool and everyone liked you. I always held back because, well, intimidation. But you, you were always nice to me and would always say hi with a huge smile. Admiring you from a distance and Hearing of your great strides really encouraged me. I wish I got to tell you this while you were with us because this won’t do Thank you, Oduraa. Thank you for being your authentic self and encouraging me to be mine. Now, I live with your mantra: ” My Father is excellent, so I will also be excellent”.

Oduraa was so full of life and passionate about all she did in church. She was always ready to serve in any capacity that she could; from being an amazing singer, a choir director, an organizer and even an MC.   Oduraa joined the church in 2003 as a toddler and attended the Children’s service till 2013 when she graduated to join the Teen Chapel. Oduraa was a quiet and soft spoken lady who avoided the limelight, unlike her younger sister (Aba Quartey) who was the face of the children’s church when they were and became the spokesperson for her Oduraa.   Her answers to questions were monosyllabically precise, and when complimented, she wore a smile that became her trademark. She lived up to The Children’s Service Mantra ā€˜Be regular, punctual and active in the house of God’.   We literally saw her grow in stature and wisdom before our…
