Dr. Mrs. Charity Adobea Tetteh was born on 13th December 1964 at Koforidua, in the Eastern Region of Ghana, to Christian K. Adjasoo and Dinah Naa Tina Lokko, both of blessed memory.

As the only daughter of her mother, Charity held a uniquely cherished place within her family. From an early age, she grew into a unifying presence among relatives and loved ones, bringing warmth, kindness, and a deep sense of togetherness that would come to define her life.

Raised in a devout Christian home, Charity developed a strong and enduring faith early in life. She was baptised at the Osu Presbyterian Church and later confirmed as a full member in the late 1970s. Her faith remained the foundation upon which she built her life. From childhood until her final days, she remained steadfast in her devotion, rarely missing Sunday Church services. Even when unable to attend in person, she faithfully joined services online. Her strength, hope, and peace were always anchored in the Lord.

Affectionately known as “Dr. Charity,” she began her early education at Royal Preparatory School in Osu, Accra, where she quickly distinguished herself through academic excellence. Her outstanding performance in the Common Entrance Examination in 1977 earned her admission to Achimota School. There, she obtained both her Ordinary and Advanced Level General Certificates of Education. A proud member of Achimota School’s Class of ’82, Charity maintained a lifelong bond with her alma mater. She was an active member of the Old Achimotan Association(OAA), regularly contributing fellow alumni.

After completing her secondary education, she undertook her National Service at Osu Presbyterian Secondary School in the mid-1980s. She subsequently enrolled at the University of Ghana, Legon, where she studied for a year before pursuing her true calling in medicine. Driven by her passion for science and her deep desire to serve humanity, Charity gained admission to the School of Medical Sciences at the University of Science and Technology, Kumasi. Through dedication, discipline, and perseverance, she successfully completed her medical training and qualified as a doctor.

After graduation, she worked at several healthcare institutions, including the 37 Military Hospital in Accra. Her commitment to excellence and professional growth later took her to the United Kingdom, where she furthered her training and broadened her experience.

In the UK, she successfully completed her professional examinations and went on to serve in a number of hospitals, notably St. Clement’s Hospital in Ipswich. Widely respected for her diligence, integrity, and dedication, Charity steadily advanced in her career.

With an enduring passion for patient-centred care, she later specialised in family medicine. Through hard work and determination, she achieved her ambition of becoming a General Practitioner and served for a period as a Locum GP, a Salaried GP and eventually a Partner. Until her passing, Dr. Charity was The Senior Partner of Constable Country Medical Practice (East Bergholt and Capel St. Mary).

She also held key leadership responsibilities as Registered Manager for maternity, midwifery, and family planning services within the practice. In addition, she served as a Director of South Rural PCN Limited, VillaPharm Ltd, and Capel Pharma Limited. Her professional journey stands as a powerful testament to her commitment to service, excellence, and community care.

As a General Practitioner, she was deeply admired for her compassion, patience, and genuine concern for the wellbeing of others. Her warmth, empathy, and caring nature endeared her to both patients and colleagues alike.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Charity found her greatest joy in her family and in creating a home filled with love, warmth, and togetherness. She truly lived up to her name through her generosity, kindness and charitable acts to her family and the community at large. She had a remarkable gift of bringing people together and was the heart of her extended family, nurturing relationships and strengthening bonds that will endure for generations.

In the year 1998, Charity got married to her loving husband, Captain Godfrey Tetteh. She was a devoted wife, a pillar of strength and a constant source of support within her family. She was also a loving and dedicated mother to their son, Joel, in whom she took immense pride. With wisdom, patience and steadfast love, she guided and nurtured him every step of the way.

Her home was a place of welcome and comfort, where family and friends gathered freely. Around her table, meals were shared, stories were told, and laughter flowed. Her presence created an atmosphere of belonging that will be fondly remembered by all who experienced it.

Never to forget her cultural roots, Charity also forged close relationships with the Ghanaian Community in Suffolk. Her passion for bringing the members of the group together and her exceptional leadership qualities contributed to her appointment as the President of the Association in Suffolk; a position she held until her unfortunate demise.

To say she will be missed is truly an understatement. Her passing has left a profound void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her especially her husband, their son, her extended family, friends, and colleagues.

Though her earthly journey has come to an end, the warmth she created, the love she shared, the lives she touched and the legacy she built will remain with us forever. Her life was a shining example of faith, compassion, service, and love. Her home was a welcoming place, her smile a source of comfort, and her presence was a blessing for many.

Dr. Charity Adobea Tetteh is survived by her loving husband, Godfrey Tetteh; their beloved son, Joel; and a host of family members, friends, colleagues, and loved ones whose lives she enriched in countless ways.

After a life marked by compassion, service, and unwavering faith, Dr. Charity Adobea Tetteh was called to glory on 14th March 2026, after a short illness. Having fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith, we take comfort in the assurance that she has received her eternal reward and now rests peacefully in the arms of the Lord she faithfully served.
