Hollywood Actress Lupita Nyongó is mourning the death of her grandmother Mama Dorcas Owino Nyong’o who died on 28th, May 2019 at Aga Khan Hospital, Nairobi aged 96 years old

”Mama Dorcas departed at 1.55pm today at Aga Khan Hospital Nairobi where she has been admitted for the last few days,” a press statement from Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o’s office stated.

Oscar award-winning Kenyan actress Lupita in 2015 once said that she was missing her grandmother so much while she was abroad.

NASA leader Raila Odinga was among the politicians who mourned with the family.

Mama @IdaOdinga and I mourn the passing of Mama Dorcas Owino Nyongo, mother to Prof. @AnyangNyongo. Dorcas was a true matriarch and pillar of the Nyongo family. She never stopped serving and guiding the family and the community she was part of despite her advancing years.
