Pastor and author Dag Heward-Mills has paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Bernice Offei, describing her as a cherished old friend who lived her faith wholeheartedly. During a recent sermon at his Lighthouse Chapel International, Heward-Mills took a pause from his message to reflect on Offei, who had recently passed away at the age of 63.
The couple had known each other since their school days, with Offei living in proximity to Heward-Mills' residence and already renowned for her singing talent. "She was my personal friend," Heward-Mills shared, emphasizing the depth of their long-standing relationship. In the 1970s, Offei embraced her passion for singing and ministered extensively.
This tribute joins the ranks of other gospel ministers who have honored the veteran gospel musician, whose career spanned several decades. Offei reportedly suffered from dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, for approximately four to five years prior to her death. Her condition worsened in the days leading up to her passing on Saturday, September 12, 2026.
