Dear Community,
Akossiwa Akakpo, beloved mother to Gabin,18, Elizabeth,15, and Mary,8, passed away last night (Sunday, Feb. 20 at 6:30 p.m.) at a local hospice, after a several-month-long battle with liver cancer. She is also survived by her husband, Gervais.
The family had immigrated to Madison from Togo less than a year ago and found out just a few months ago that Akossiwa had terminal cancer.
Here are the funeral arrangements:
Friday, February 25
Visitation: 9:30-10:30 a.m., St. Peter Catholic Church, 5001 N. Sherman Ave.
Funeral service: 10:30 Saint Peter Catholic Church
Reception: following the service at St. Peter's
Burial: after reception at Roselawn Cemetery, East Broadway, Monona
Also, there will be a mass in Mrs. Akakpo's memory this Sunday, Feb. 27 at 11:00 at St. Peter's Church.
Following the mass, we will all meet for a potluck lunch at Laurie & Marc Mlatawou's home, 444 N. Few Street (off E. Johnson St. close to Tenney Park) to celebrate the life of this strong, loving woman. We hope to see you all there.
If you would like to support this family in any way, it will be greatly appreciated.
Here is the address and phone:
1929 Northport Drive #10
242-8395
Thank you so much in advance for your kindness.
Sincerely,
Laurie Mlatawou
