Theresa Aba Kufuor, the beloved wife of Ghana’s former president, John Agyekum Kufuor, has passed away at the age of 87.
Her passing occurred on Sunday, October 1, 2023, just 24 days before her 88th birthday. Born on October 25, 1935, she had a distinguished career as a nurse and midwife before dedicating her life to public service.
Former President Kufuor was by her side at home when she peacefully departed. The timing of her passing was significant, as President Nana Akufo-Addo had traveled to visit the former president, and her transition occurred shortly before his arrival.
Mrs. Kufuor had been battling health challenges for nearly eight years leading up to her passing. Despite her remarkable longevity, her prolonged illness took a toll on her, ultimately resulting in her passing.
This information was conveyed by the spokesperson for Ex-President Kuffour during an interview, shedding light on the health struggles that Mrs. Theresa Kufuor had endured during the latter part of her life. Her passing marks the end of an era and a profound loss for the Kufuor family and the nation as a whole.
