Born about 1954, Rose Nkong was the first child/daughter (Emeh Asaba) of the ten children of Mbe Tazi Ate’awung VIII and Princess Mary Atemnkeng Tazi of Njeh-Mveh Fontem.

She also leaves behind two grand children, hundreds of uncles, aunts, nephew, nieces, and thousands of friends and well-wishers worldwide to mourn her.
Her seven younger living siblings in their order of birth are: Julie Efiaboh Lekeaka (Lekong-Fontem); Mbe Tazi Ate’awung IX, (MD); Prodencia Nkongho (OH), George Tazi (OH), Asongacha Tazi (OH), John Tazi (MD) and Alemngeh Tazi (MD).
