The Wonadem UBA Foundation (WUBAF) joined
family members, friends, mourners, and sympathizers on Saturday, 8th August
2026, at Akatsi-Atorkorkorfe to pay its last respects to Mr. Ben
Wede Yao Atorkor, the beloved father of Mr. Saviour Atorkor, a
valued member of the Foundation.
WUBAF’s presence at the funeral reflected the
Foundation’s strong commitment to standing with its members and their families
not only in moments of celebration but also during times of grief and
bereavement. This commitment is deeply rooted in the Foundation’s guiding
principle:
“We Love, We Care, We Comfort.”
WUBAF members began arriving at the funeral grounds as
early as 7:00 a.m., with additional members joining the gathering until
approximately 11:00 a.m.
The church service commenced at about 9:00 a.m.
and was marked by solemn prayers, heartfelt tributes, music, Scripture
readings, and reflections on the life and legacy of the deceased.
A special moment was observed for family members,
friends, and well-wishers to pay their last respects to Mr. Ben Wede Yao
Atorkor. Invited guests were also introduced before the reading of Scripture
set the tone for the rest of the service.
One of the significant moments of the service was the
reading of the biography of Mr. Ben Wede Yao Atorkor by representatives
of the family.
The biography reflected on the various stages of his
life and highlighted the values, relationships, family bonds, and legacy he
leaves behind. His life story brought together his wife, children, in-laws,
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, the church, and other loved ones who
gathered to honor his memory.
The WUBAF Brass Band led the offertory with a
solemn and melodious ministration, contributing to the reverent atmosphere of
the funeral service.
A powerful sermon was subsequently delivered by the
church pastor, followed by a special prayer for the bereaved family and
everyone mourning the loss.
In honor of their colleague, WUBAF was called upon
to perform during the service. Members responded with a heartfelt
presentation, demonstrating their love, unity, and solidarity with Mr.
Saviour Atorkor and his family during the difficult period.
The church service officially concluded at exactly
1:20 p.m.
Following the church service, WUBAF members joined
other mourners for refreshments and fellowship. The gathering provided
an opportunity for members, family, friends, and sympathizers to interact,
share memories, and strengthen bonds of unity and mutual support.
As part of the day's activities, the Wonadem UBA
Foundation led a Borborbor performance, adding a vibrant cultural dimension
to the funeral gathering. The performance served as a cultural tribute to the
departed while creating a moment of togetherness and celebration of his life.
The day's activities officially came to an end at 4:20
p.m. with a final prayer led by Love Afanu, after which WUBAF
members, family, and other guests departed.
The presence and active participation of WUBAF at the
funeral demonstrated the Foundation's unwavering commitment to its members and
their families.
Beyond its humanitarian, developmental, educational,
and community-support initiatives, WUBAF recognizes the importance of being
present for its members during significant moments in their lives—including
times of bereavement.
Through its presence, participation, performance, and
fellowship, the Foundation reaffirmed that no member should have to face
difficult moments alone.
The Wonadem UBA Foundation extends its deepest
and heartfelt condolences to Mr. Saviour Atorkor and the entire Atorkor
family.
May God grant the bereaved family strength, comfort,
and peace during this difficult time.
May the soul of Mr. Ben Wede Yao Atorkor
rest in perfect peace.

We Love, We Care, We Comfort.
