It is with deepest sorrow that the Swaray, Massaquoi, Fredericks, Gray, Bannerman, Buxton, Ashong, Mills, and Attoh families, in the hope of the resurrection, announce the passing of our beloved sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, auntie, cousin, and matriarch, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Swaray.
Her demise occurred on Sunday, April 30th in Monrovia, Liberia.

She was predeceased by her father Mr. Henry Q. Fredericks, her mother madam Anna Gray, her husband Hon. J. Henry Swaray, her children Attracta Swaray, Augusta Swaray and Dr. Swithin Mustapha Swaray Sr.
