The family has asked the public to remember them in their thoughts and prayers as they mourn her death and celebrate the memories she left behind.

“Her departure is a deeply painful loss to the family, loved ones, and all whose lives she touched,” the family said in a statement.

Juliana’s death has left many who followed her journey through GMB mourning the loss of a former beauty queen who represented the Volta Region with distinction.
