In her personal dealings, Madam Cecilia Johnson embodied warmth, humility, and mentorship. She opened her arms to the young and aspiring, guiding them with patience and wisdom. Many who today champion the causes of democracy, women’s empowerment, and social progress were once touched by her counsel and encouragement. Today, we do not only mourn her passing; we celebrate a life of selfless service, a life that redefined the role of women in politics, governance, and national development. Her legacy is a clarion call to continue advocating for the rights of women and children, to build inclusive spaces where every Ghanaian can thrive with dignity and purpose. The National Democratic Congress has lost a soldier, a trailblazer who redefined what it means to serve with passion, principle, and purpose. We celebrate you, Auntie Ceci. And as your mortal remains are laid to rest today, your radiant spirit will continue to dwell among us, inspiring a new generation to serve with integrity, courage, and compassion. May the Good Lord grant you eternal rest beyond measure. Long live the Legacy of Madam Cecilia Johnson! Long live the National Democratic Congress! Long live the Women’s Wing of the NDC! Long live the Revolution! Dr. Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei National Women’s Organizer 1946 MRS. CECILIA JOHNSON 2025 29 A Loving Farewell
