The late Ghanaian actress Beverly Afaglo’s sister, Mama Fiawotoe I, has made a heartbreaking revelation about the family’s history with cancer, disclosing that Beverly was the fourth member of the family to die from the disease.
In an emotional account, Mama Fiawotoe I’s revelation has brought renewed attention to the devastating impact cancer has had on the family, following the actress’s death after battling the illness.
Beverly, who was a familiar face in Ghana’s movie industry, died on May 24, 2026, at the age of 42. Her death shocked fans, colleagues and loved ones, many of whom had followed her career and personal journey.
The actress had previously spoken about the family’s history of cancer, revealing that both her father and one of her sisters had died from the disease.
Her passing has therefore deepened the family’s grief, particularly given the painful experiences they had already endured with cancer.
The disclosure by Mama Fiawotoe I has also renewed conversations about the importance of cancer awareness, early diagnosis and timely medical intervention, especially among families with a history of the disease.
Beverly’s death remains a significant loss to Ghana’s entertainment industry, where she built a name for herself as an actress and entrepreneur.
She is survived by her husband, musician Choirmaster, and their two daughters.
As the family continues to mourn, Mama Fiawotoe I’s revelation offers a sobering reminder of the lasting emotional toll of cancer and the pain of losing multiple loved ones to the disease.
“Beverly was the fourth person in the family to die of cancer. Even when the cancer had advanced and doctors told her she wouldn’t make it, she still had faith that she would be healed.”
