Former First Lady, Theresa Kufuor, has passed away at the age of 88, just 24 days before her 89th birthday, as confirmed by a source close to the Kufuor family to Asaase News. Theresa Kufuor, a retired nurse and midwife, was the wife of Ghana’s second President of the Fourth Republic, President John Agyekum Kufuor.

The couple celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary recently, having tied the knot on September 8, 1962. Their enduring marriage was revealed by the former president, who once mentioned that he married Theresa a year after they first got to know each other. This loss is a significant moment in Ghana’s history, as she played a vital role as the First Lady during her husband’s presidency.
