Executive Mansion, Monrovia – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr., paid a solemn condolence visit to the home of the late First Lady Madam Nancy Ghanyea Bohn Doe, widow of former Liberian President Samuel Kanyon Doe.

The visit was a moment of deep reflection, unity, and national reconciliation, as President Boakai extended heartfelt sympathies to the Doe family on behalf of the Government and people of Liberia. The late Madam Nancy Doe, who served as First Lady from 1980 to 1990, is remembered for her grace, resilience, and quiet contributions during a turbulent period in the nation’s history.

President Boakai described Madam Doe as “a motherly figure whose dignity in the face of adversity inspired many Liberians.” He further emphasized that Liberia must honor all those who have played a role in its national journey, regardless of era or political alignment.

“History must remember all of its children,” President Boakai stated, adding, “We come not just to mourn, but to honor the life and legacy of a woman who stood firmly beside her husband and bore the weight of national service with strength and humility.”

The President was accompanied by senior officials of government, including members of the Cabinet and Executive Mansion staff.
Madam Nancy Doe passed away recently, on May 21, 2025, after a prolonged illness. Her funeral arrangements are being spearheaded by the family in coordination with the Government of Liberia.

The Government will continue to engage with the family to ensure a dignified celebration of her life and legacy.
