    Former first lady and wife of John Agyekum Kufuor, a former president of Ghana, Theresa Kufuor, has died at the age of 87.

    Asaase Radio reported that the former first lady passed away earlier yesterday, Sunday, October 1, 2023.

    From 2001 to 2009, Theresa Kufuor held the position of First Lady of Ghana while her husband was the head of state.

    “Her husband, former President John Agyekum Kufuor was at home, when his wife of over 55 years died. Mrs Kufuor has not been well in recent years,” the report said.

    “Incidentally, President Nana Akufo-Addo had travelled to the mountains to pay a visit to the former President and her passing is said to have happened shortly before the President arrived.”

    J. Addo Kufuor, Nana Ama Gyamfi, Saah Kufuor, Agyekum Kufuor, and Owusu Afriyie Kufuor are among John and Theresa’s five children. They have eight grandchildren altogether.

    Before getting married in 1962, the couple started dating after meeting at a Republic Day Anniversary Dance in London in 1961.

    In the Government’s White Paper on Educational Reforms, which sought to implement the Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) program, she is also credited with promoting changes in policy.

    Theresa Kufuor attended school at the Catholic Convent, OLA, in Keta, in the Volta Region, before relocating to London, where she graduated from the Southern Hospital Group of Nursing, Edinburgh, Scotland, and became a registered general nurse.

    At the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford and Paddington General Hospital in London, she continued her education, earning a State Certified Midwife Certificate in Premature Nursing.
