Zorzor, Lofa County — It is with profound sorrow that the Kennedy and Kokulo Zazyzay families announce the passing of Madam Korto Kennedy, a respected leader and trailblazer in public service, who departed this life on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at Curran Lutheran Hospital in Zorzor City. She was in her early sixties.
Madam Kennedy’s name became synonymous with service and integrity during her long tenure as head of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry assigned to Zorzor and Salayea Districts. From 1997 until her official retirement in early 2025, she championed grassroots commerce, supported local entrepreneurs, and advanced regional economic initiatives. Her legacy continues to inspire many across Lofa County and beyond.
Her passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, extended family, and a wide circle of friends in Liberia and the United States of America, all of whom are united in grief and remembrance.
The remains of Madam Kennedy have been entrusted to St. Moses Funeral Parlors in Gbarnga, Bong County. The first funeral planning meeting will be held at her residence in Zorzor City on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at 12:00 PM. Community members and well-wishers are encouraged to attend and support the family during this difficult time.
This announcement is made by her children on behalf of the bereaved families.
