The actress, who was among those who supported efforts to raise funds for Sir Rostomo’s medical treatment before his death, appeared visibly emotional as she arrived to honour her late colleague.
Nana Ama McBrown was also spotted at the funeral, joining other prominent actors and industry personalities who gathered to bid farewell to the late filmmaker.
Other Kumawood Stars were also seen crying uncontrollably when they were delivering their tribute.
Sir Rostomo sadly died on July 18, 2026, after battling severe kidney disease. Before his death, efforts were made to raise more than GH¢700,000 to support a kidney transplant and other medical expenses. Mercy Asiedu was among those reported to have contributed to the fundraising campaign, with reports indicating that she donated GH¢50,000 towards his treatment.
The actor’s health struggles had attracted attention within the Ghanaian entertainment industry, with colleagues and members of the public expressing concern and hoping that he would recover.
His death was therefore a painful loss to those who knew him and worked with him in the movie industry.
The one-week observance held on August 6, 2026, at Abuakwa Manhyia Methodist JHS in Kumasi also drew several Kumawood stars, including Vivian Jill Lawrence, Matilda Asare, Paa George, Kwadwo Nkansah Lil Win, Uncle Fii and Taylor.
