Woman dies in church after 'crossing over' to 2014
The watch-night service of the Assemblies of God
church at Madina in Accra on December 31, 2013
turned tragic when a member of the church died
minutes after 'crossing over' into the New Year.

Ms Patience Tetteh, who was said to be in her
early 30s, died in her seat at the church while
other congregants sung and danced to usher in the
year 2014.

Some members of the church expressed shock at her
death, since she had actively participated in song
ministrations before she passed away.

A member of the Assemblies of God Church, who
pleaded anonymity, told the Daily Graphic that Ms
Tetteh was hale and hearty when she went to the
church for the watch-night service on December
31.

According to the member, who also attended the
service, Ms Tetteh joined other members of the
church in singing and dancing. However, not long
after that, she was seen motionless with the back
of her head resting on the chair.

That attracted members of the church to her seat
where they realised she was dead.

Her body has been deposited at a morgue in
Madina.

The East Legon residence of the late Ms Tetteh was
quiet and serene when the Dally Graphic got
there.

Ms Tetteh's younger sister, Ms Beatrice Tetteh,
declined to speak to the Daily Graphic despite
persistent efforts to get her to narrate the
circumstances that led to her sister's demise.

Friends and sympathisers continued trooping to the
house to express their condolences to the bereaved
family.

Clergymen from the church were also at the house
to pray for the family.
