The funeral ceremony happened in Accra on June 28. Friends, family and colleagues regrouped on Sunday to celebrate the 92-year-old's life.
Veteran acting stars Pascaline Edwards, Adjetey Annan, Fred Amugi, Oscar Provencal, recently appointed ambassador Kalsoume Sinare, Kofi Adjorlolo, Eunice Banini, and many more attended the funeral reception.
Other younger generation actors such as Lydia Forson, Jeffrey Nortey, Yvonne Nelson, Akuapem Poloo and others also showed up to express their support for the bereaved family.
On social media, Irene Opare, after mourning her mother, took to social media to share a heartfelt message reflecting on her role as a mother. She said:
"Mom, you were my rock, my inspiration. Thank you for showing me what it means to be strong and resilient. I love you, my daughter Fafa."

Irene Opare celebrates her daughter
Fafa, who many knew to be a little child when her mum was in her prime, celebrated her 26th birthday last year.
The ace actress shared photos of her daughter on Instagram with a lovely message describing her as a blessing in her life.
Irene Opare welcomed her daughter with legendary Ghanaian broadcaster Kwame Sefa Kayi during the 1990s, when the two dated while both were working in the movie industry.
Sefa Kayi later left the movie industry and transitioned into the media space, becoming one of the most celebrated Ghanaian presenters of all time.
Fafa's 26th birthday came two years after she completed her education at the Academic City University College.
Young Fafa, who was 23 years old at the time, graduated as the best student in Communication Arts.
Many Ghanaians admired how big and tall she had grown.
