The beloved singer, who was widely known for her role in the renowned Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo music group, will be laid to rest on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
The announcement follows her one-week observation ceremony, which was held on January 7, 2026, at the Bantama Presby School Park in the Ashanti Region. The gathering brought together family members, friends, colleagues in the gospel music industry, and admirers who came to pay their respects and celebrate her life.
Maame Tiwaa passed away on Sunday, December 7, 2025, a loss that sent shockwaves through the Ghanaian music industry and left many fans deeply saddened.

Earlier that year, she also delivered a memorable performance at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards held at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre in Accra.

Her powerful voice and dedication to gospel music earned her admiration from audiences across the country. She was also honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of the group, recognizing their immense contribution to Ghana’s gospel music industry.
According to the official obituary poster released by her family, the funeral ceremony will begin with a laying-in-state at Presby Park in Bantama, opposite the Sefah Boakye Hospital. This will be followed by a burial service scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on April 11.
