Some 16 years after her unexpected passing, Ghanaians have remembered on-screen goddess, Suzzy Williams.

She died in a car crash that happened on the La-Nungua highway at about 1:30 am. She was just 23.

Reports had it that she was riding along with her Liberian boyfriend who survived the crash.

Because of her popularity, Ghana’s Art Centre refused to allow her body to lie in state, fearing it would be unable to accommodate the large numbers of mourners expected.
