Doris Taiwah Kpandawah

May 1, 1964 — September 16, 2026

It is with deep sorrow and heartfelt gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Doris Taiwah Kpandawah on September 16, 2026. Born on May 1, 1964, in Voinjama, Lofa County, Liberia. Doris was a beacon of love and strength to all who were fortunate to know her. After a courageous battle with liver cancer, she passed away peacefully, surrounded by her beloved family. Doris was the cherished daughter of the late Mr. David Kpandawah and Hawa Kpandawah, who predeceased her along with her siblings were Francis Kpandawah, Kpannah Kpandawah, Finda Kpandawah, Tamba Kpandawah and Famatta Sheriff-Gbakoyah. She is survived by her devoted spouse, Alexander Dolobaipu, and her loving children Rochelle (Kumba) Sheriff, Handford Flomo, Evon Korpu, Ballah Flomo, Japper Sheriff and Saigay Sheriff-Koroma as well as grand children Gertrude Ngaima, Caleb Tamba, Jairus Tamba, Jared Tamba, Tamera Flomo, Tia Flomo, Antonio Swen and Franklin Gbakoyah. Doris's legacy continues through her eight adored grandchildren and her circle of close friends who were family. Throughout her life, Doris was known for her caring nature and warm smile, which had the power to lighten any room she entered. Her genuine kindness and generosity left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered, making them feel welcome and valued. This gift of connection was a hallmark of her character, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Doris dedicated 13 years of her career as a caregiver at White Pine Assistant Living in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. Her compassion and commitment to her work reflected her broader dedication to caring for others, a calling she fulfilled with grace and empathy. The loss of our belove sister left family, friends and co-workers in a deep sorrow. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at United Hospital for their exceptional care and compassionate support during Doris's final days. "May they ever remain in our hearts." A celebration of Doris's life will be held on October 1, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Christ Sanctuary of Salvation church, 1185 Concord St. N #104, South St. Paul MN 55075. Her family invites all who knew her to join in honoring her memory and to share stories of the joy and warmth she brought to their lives. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Doris's memory to a charity of your choice. Doris Taiwah Kpandawah's life was a testament to the power of love, kindness, and community. Though her physical presence is no longer with us, her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
