Sister of the Ahwoi brothers dead

The family of Mrs. Ama Adoma Bartels-Kodwo has announced her passing on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

Mrs. Bartels-Kodwo was a respected member of the prominent Ahwoi family and sister to Honourable Ato Ahwoi, Ambassador Kwesi Ahwoi, and Professor Kwamena Ahwoi—three influential figures in Ghana’s political history. She was also sister to Mrs. Efua Bram-Larbi and Mrs. Agnes Appiagyei-Dankah.

She was married to Ambassador Jonathan Paa Kow Bartels-Kodwo, a former Director of the Research Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.

They had three children: Mr. Paa Kow Bartels-Kodwo (U.S.), Ms. Nana Adwoa Bartels-Kodwo (U.K.), and Ms. Maame Efua Bartels-Kodwo.

The family says details of the one-week observance and funeral arrangements will be announced later.
