On the Passing of Former Liberian First Lady, Madam Nancy Bohn Doe

 

May 23, 2025

 

It is with deep sorrow and feeling of great loss that I receive the sad news of the passing of the late Madam Nancy Bohn Doe, former First Lady of the Republic of Liberia.

 

On behalf of the Government and people of Liberia, and in my own name, I express heartfelt sympathy to the Doe Family during this time of mourning.

 

The late former First Lady served our nation with grace and dignity during a pivotal time in our history. As First Lady, she carried the responsibilities of her position with strength, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to her family and country.

 

While serving as a cabinet minister in the Government of her late husband, our late former Head of State, I had the privilege of observing her

life to be one of resilience, marked by both the drive for national service and personal sacrifice.

 

While history may record the complexities and tumult of that era, we as a nation must rise in acknowledgment of the honorable and courageous path our fallen compatriot, former First Lady Doe, whose life was interwoven with our nation’s often times intriguing journey, served her country and people.

 

Madam Doe’s legacy will remain etched in our national memory as part of Liberia’s broader historical narrative.

 

I therefore enjoin the nation to pray that the Almighty will grant her eternal rest and comfort her loved ones with peace and strength in this period of loss.

 

May her soul rest in perfect peace.

 

Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr.

President of the Republic of Liberia
