Mercy Essah—Mercy Essah passed away on July 24, 2024, leaving a deep void in the hearts of her community and colleagues. Mercy, who had been a vital part of the Colorado State University San Luis Valley Research Center since 2003, was known for her dedication, sensitivity, and unwavering commitment to her work. Her contributions to the Colorado Potato Cultivar Management and Physiology program were invaluable, playing a crucial role in the development of sustainable and economic potato production.
Mercy’s petite stature was no indication of the immense impact she had on those around her. She was a cherished friend, a thoughtful colleague, and a beacon of light for everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her presence will be deeply missed, and her loss is felt profoundly by all who knew her.
In honor of Mercy’s life and to assist with the expenses associated with her final journey to her ancestral home in Ghana, a GoFundMe campaign has been organized by Amy Bibbey. The fundraiser has a goal of $10,000, and so far, $1,045 has been raised through 11 generous donations. The top donation of $250 was made anonymously, with Kathleen Russell contributing $25 as the most recent donation, and Brad Tonnessen making the first donation of $100.
Mercy is survived by her husband, Samuel Essah, and their extended family in Ghana. The community extends its deepest condolences to Samuel and the entire Essah family during this difficult time. We encourage everyone to keep them in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate through this profound loss.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Mercy Essah’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
