First Ghanaian Sister Missionary Dies at 64
Sister Josephine Korkor Quaicoe, one of the first two Ghanaian females to be called to serve a full-time mission in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is dead. She was 64.
Sister Quaicoe and her missionary companion, Sister Angela M. Adjaye, were called as the first Ghanaian sister missionaries on June 14, 1986.
They served in Ghana.
Just prior to her demise, Sister Quaicoe served as the Relief Society president of the East Tanokrom Ward in the Takoradi Stake of the Church.
She is survived by two daughters, Nelly and Ruth Djuckey, both of them active members in the Church.
The family disclosed that Sister Quaicoe died peacefully on October 21, 2023, at the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi, surrounded by her daughters and siblings. Her burial service was held on December 9 at the Takoradi Stake center.
