Elizabeth Atakorah, 76 years of age, of Bethlehem, Georgia, passed away on September 27, 2025 while visiting friends and family in Abuakwa, Ghana. Elizabeth was born on March 11, 1949 in Ghana to the late Kwadwo Atakorah and the late Abena Nyame.

Elizabeth lived in Germany for 14 years, where she obtained her esthetician license before relocating to Long Island, New York, in 1985.

She was a proud homeowner and business owner on Long Island for approximately 30 years. After retiring in 2019, Elizabeth moved to Georgia to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren. She was smart and strong yet carried a gentle and graceful spirit.
