Mensah MercyMENSAH, Mercy Eugenia (Arhin) - Mercy died peacefully in her sleep on Monday, January 11, 2021 in Aurora, York Region.

She was pre-deceased by her parents, her husband - Prof. Atta Annan Mensah, son-in-law - Jean-Christophe Casu - and eight siblings.

Mercy is survived by her five children - Ekua Jameswa Mensah (Thaddeus P. Ulzen), Ranzie Mensah, Kofi Nunoo Mensah (Heather), Abena Mensah-Carr (Alan), Ato Annan Mensah (Swanzette), 13 grandchildren, 3 step grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and a large community of friends all across the world.

Mercy was born in Saltpond on April 23rd 1930 to Madam Grace Taylor of Saltpond and Mr. Abraham Pobee-Sem of Assin Nsuta in what was then called the Gold Coast - now known as Ghana. 

She enjoyed a very happy childhood with her parents, siblings, grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins. Her father was a hardworking blacksmith, trader, bricklayer, farmer, traditional medicine practitioner and lay preacher at the local Methodist Church. Her mother worked as a baker, farmer and trader. The examples of Mercy’s parents’ commitment to working hard and being the best at everything they worked at instilled a signature work ethic in Mercy for the rest of her life. Mercy applied herself diligently at every task she undertook excelling in her studies in Assin Nsuta. 

In retirement she settled with her husband in Toronto and quickly found a place to worship, serve and practice her Christian Faith.

She was working towards a Master’s Degree but was compelled to withdraw from the program to care for her husband. 

She had demonstrated that with determination, perseverance and faith you could achieve your heart’s desire, setting a great example for the young people in her life.

Mercy earned her place as the matriarch of the Eguana No. 1 Royal Family of Saltpond and was loved and revered by her many cousins, nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephews.

A mighty tree has fallen. May God Almighty grant Mercy Eugenia eternal rest.
