Sieh Elizabeth WANG-JANG (nee Doe)

Sieh Elizabeth Wangs (née Doe) was born on July 1, 1949, in Lagos, Nigeria, to Thomas Nimeneh Doe and Mary Titilayo Doe. She was the eldest of their twelve children. Of this large and loving family, eight survived into adulthood—four sons and four daughters—forming a close-knit circle bound by faith, discipline, and deep affection for one another.

From an early age, Sieh’s upbringing was firmly rooted in Bible principles. Her father, once a staunch Methodist, and her mother, a devoted Catholic, both came to a knowledge of the truth through their study of the Study of the Scriptures volumes obtained by her father from “Bible Brown.” That sincere study of God’s Word led them to dedicate their lives to Jehovah. From that moment, the Doe household became a place where love for Jehovah, regular family Bible study, and active participation in Christian ministry shaped every aspect of life.

Growing up in this spiritually rich environment, Sieh developed a deep respect for spiritual things. She was known for her calm, kind, and nurturing disposition—qualities that naturally complemented her professional calling as a nurse midwife. In her years of service, she combined her medical training with genuine compassion, offering comfort and care to countless families. She was married to Emmanuel Christopher and they had 5 children. Ruth Simi Dwedi Wangs, Davies Bobo Dwe Wangs, Linda Chungdung Wangs, Glory Garos Oppong, Sandra Nimnedi Wangs. Grandkids Alexis chinyenwa Rufai , Jugu Alveris Wangs Oppong and Simi Ohemaa Oppong. And three great grand kids. Denis K Oppong son-in-law and many spiritual sons and daughters 

Sieh lived much of her adult life in Plateau State, Nigeria, where she became well-known among many congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She has suffered numerous losses, but She faithfully attended meetings, participated in the ministry, and was a quiet source of encouragement to many brothers and sisters. Her home was always open to friends from the congregation who needed a place to stay. Whether it was for visiting publishers, pioneers, or those simply in need of a warm meal and kind company, her hospitality reflected her loving spirit and generosity.

Even in her personal witnessing, Sieh was active and unassuming. She joyfully shared the good news informally with neighbors, patients, and anyone who crossed her path. Many were drawn to her gentle nature and sincerity, and through her efforts, several came to learn about Jehovah.

Those who knew Sieh Elizabeth Wangs remember her as a woman of faith, kindness, and humility—a true example of Christian love in action. Her life was marked by quiet service, hospitality, and steadfast devotion to Jehovah. Though she will be deeply missed, her legacy of faith continues to shine through all those she touched with her generosity and example.

    Mrs Sieh, Elizabeth Wangs, my cousin, friend, confidant and sister.

    Mama Bobo, as my family & I would fondly call her. I remember the time when she and her husband along with their toddler Davies (Bobo) moved from the northern region of Nigeria – Kaduna, to Lagos, the former capital. Her husband at the time worked for Niger Motors and was transferred to Lagos

    This was such an exciting time for the family after many years of living away from each other. As soon as they reached Lagos they came to seek out her aunty – her dad’s sister (my mum). It was such a happy re-union. I remember the warm embraces, the meals and the laughter that we shared together. In time we were all able to live closer to each other so that my mum could help to take care of young Davies (Bobo). My sister and I were so attached to him.

    I thank Jehovah for Mama Bobo, who introduced the truth to me – she would always invite me to meetings, memorials and assemblies. I remember when I used to join in their family Bible studies of the faith inspiring publication: ‘Things in Which It Is Impossible for God to Lie’. That drew me to the truth and in time I was baptized.

    Mama Bobo was a faithful servant of Jehovah. She lived a humble life, very mild mannered and very kind to anyone she met. In addition to her own family, she was a mother to everyone who came her way. Her deep love for truth along with the zealous spirit she had in the ministry led many also to find the truth.

    Mama Bobo, I will miss our chats, laughter, and cooking meals together but will keep this safe in my memory.

    Finally, I wish I had been by your side, able to thank you and express my love for you before this temporary pause between all of us occurred. I look forward to the time we will see each other again.

        My mama bear, I miss you every day and night. Even though we only knew each other for a few months, you became a mother to me. Your love, guidance, and warmth will stay with me forever.”

        Please accept my heartfelt condolences. She played such an important role in my life—guiding me, encouraging me, and supporting me like a mother. Losing her is deeply painful, but I am grateful for the love and wisdom she shared with me. She will always remain in my heart. To my two amazing aunties please know I am always here.

      My condolences to the Wangs family. I remember with fond memories the first time my daughter Ese and I met my mother as I fondly called her. She was to be my spiritual guide, that, she did very well. She did much more than that. She became not just a mother but a confidant.

      I will miss her dearly but i look forward to seeing her again in paradise.

        Mama was a woman of rare kindness
        Her contagious smile could
        Could soften even the hardest day.
        I usually spent the holidays at her home.Her doors were always opened.
        She was more than a mother she was a friend to all.
        A giver in every sense, whose goodness cannot be numbered.

        Though my heart aches, I find comfort knowing
        She rests safely in Jehovah’s memory.

        I can only imagine the depth of pain her family would feel
        This is truly a great loss for us all.

        Let us all be comforted for Jehovah has promised
        That all those asleep in death will rise again, Sister Sieh Elizabeth Wangs would rise again
        Whole and free from pain in perfect health.

        May hope fill our hearts until that beautiful day
        When all in the memorial tombs hear His call
        And death, our greatest sorrow, will be no more.

      Death, limitlessly reminds us that we are mere mortals and it’s something we never get used to. I kept reminiscing about our early years as school mates then colleagues of the same profession. We got to connect as friends then transcended to sisters. My journey to see you in your respective places of primary assignment and our endless gist are memories I will forever cherish. Psalm 34:18 is our greatest consolation. Go well my beloved sister as we reconnect at the Jesus’ feet.
      Your sister & Frend,

    A Reflection of Love in sweet memory of my momma- Mrs. Elizabeth Sieh Wangs
    I called you Momma because you were more than an aunt—you were a true mother to me. Your love was quiet but strong, always present, always steady. You were a stern disciplinarian, but your discipline was always wrapped in love. Today, I see the fruit of that discipline in the woman I’ve become. You guided with wisdom, corrected with care, and loved without limits. Losing you so soon after Dad has left a deep ache, but I hold on to Jehovah’s promise of resurrection. You are resting now, safe in His memory—until we meet in that Paradise on earth where pain and death will be no more- you are Forever missed. Forever cherished.
    Your baby-Stephanie K. Dorleh

      When we first met Mama Wangs many years ago, we were touched by her warmth, gentleness, and compassion. The joy and kindness we experienced around her was truly unforgetable. The last time we saw her, we promised she would come see us…and imagine our pain upon learning of her passing and the health struggle she endured. Mama will be deeply missed and will always remain in our memory. We take comfort in the resurrection hope. May this shared hope bring comfort to her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

        Auntie, that is what I fondly call her. The friend that I met some 47 years ago in Jos.
        She introduced Bible Truth to me and personally conducted my Bible Study. She loved Jehovah and made great impact in my life down to this day.
        My storyline would be incomplete without the mention of her name!
        She was a very kind and humorous person too.
        Did you ever listened to her singing any of our Kingdom Songs before…..so so melodious …that you want to stop and just listen 🎶 to her. She loved Reggae music as well 😍…
        Death is only a comma, not a fullstop. I know that auntie is sleeping and would raise again to a world where there will be no more pain or death. Rev21:4-5.
        May Jehovah remember her for good.

      Memories are what we are left with now. Such sweet memories that can ease the pain. I was shocked when the news of her death came and I was so annoyed with myself too because a day before her death I made efforts twice to contact her but it kept skipping my mind. I’m grateful for the time spent with her in the field ministry especially return visits and most recently cart witnessing. I will not forget the good time spent together doing rehearsals for dramas at the then district conventions. We had nice times. I will miss being called “Iya Selya” (she was the only one that called me that)but I’m going to hold on to Jehovah too like she did so that one day again I can hear “Iya Selya” then I will know we are in paradise because Jehovah cannot lie- Titus 1:2. Where are your stings, oh death?

    I met Elizabeth just one time over 12 years ago at a wedding, we naturally gravitated to each other. She was someone I fondly remember – Her warm countenance, embrace and her genuine interest in me as strangers really warmed my heart. From what I remember about Elizabeth, she had a winning smile and soft personality. Even though we met just one time she left a great impression on me. Had we gotten to know each other more, I would have adopted her as my mother.

      I’m grateful for the opportunity to share some fond memories of our beloved mother, Ngo Sieh Elizabeth Wang Jang. As her niece and colleague at Plateau State Specialist Hospital, Jos, I had the privilege of working alongside her and experiencing her warm smile and cheerful spirit.
      Mama, as I lovingly called her, was a constant source of encouragement and inspiration. We shared stories of my grandparents with such nostalgia, and we would laugh together, creating unforgettable moments. Her presence was a gift, and I’ll always cherish the time we spent together.
      My heart aches for my cousins, Ruth, Gloria, Jugu, and all of us who loved her dearly.

    Mama Elizabeth, your kindness had no limits, your smiles could brighten the darkest day and your love reached deep. I always talked about your love and care during my stay in Jos, Nigeria. I was welcomed to your home when Gloria took me for the first time. I became a part of your family and had a home away from home. You cared for me when I gave birth to my daughter and I will never forget your love and care. You had a way of making everyone feel special with your kind and humbled spirit. May you rest in peace until we meet again.

    Gloria, Sis Ruth and the rest of the family take comfort in Jehovah. Ma Elizabeth legacy lives on in the love she gave and the lives she touched. Though we are hurt of her absence, we are comforted knowing she’s resting in the glory of Jehovah and we will meet her soon.

    The passing of our beloved Sister Sieh Elizabeth Wangs deeply saddens my family and me. Your true Christian family unity radiates the warmth and faith that characterize Jehovah’s people. Sieh was an extraordinary woman—God-fearing, gentle, and full of wisdom. Her cheerful spirit and insightful comments during our weekly Bible studies strengthened everyone’s faith. She radiated kindness and peace, and her love for Jehovah and others was evident in all she did. When my children and I visited her this summer, despite her illness, she remained brave, encouraging, and full of hope. Little did we know that would be our last visit. Her faith, endurance, and joyful disposition in the face of trials were truly inspiring. The Oppong family has been a true blessing to everyone around them. Their love, generosity, and steadfast faith reflect the very spirit that Sister Sieh embodied throughout her life. We are heartbroken, but we draw comfort from the sure hope of resurrection that Jehovah has promised. Jehovah will call, and Sister Sieh will answer.

    We look forward to the time when she will awaken in the new world—healthy, radiant, and filled with the same joy she shared with us here.

    With deepest sympathy and Christian love,

    Our sincere condolences to the entire family on the loss of “Grandma” as we fondly called her.

    While the loss is no doubt painful and sad, we take solace in the fact that she is now resting in Jehovah’s memory, awaiting her reward.

    We are comforted by the memories that we have including her sound, logical and faith-strengthening expressions of faith, both at the Christian meetings and in social gatherings, her warm and motherly disposition and the twinkle in her eyes when she smiled.

    Her example, along with those of other faithful servants of Jehovah, will continue to keep us going, as we await the fulfillment of Jehovah’s promise to swallow death up forever.

    To the wonderful family that she has left behind, please take comfort in the hope of the resurrection (John 5:28,29). Remember that “death reminds us of how short life is; resurrection reminds us of how short death is”.

      When I remember Mama Wangs, I think happy thoughts. I have known her all my life and have so many fond memories.
      I remember traveling to Benin for a nurses conference in Bethel with my mum, younger sister and some other sisters. Mama bought us all the goodies you could think of along the way as we were the only children in the travel group.
      She was a mother and a friend to me. I fondly remember our days in field service, I was always excited to work with her because I knew I’d learn something new. She was also my gist partner, it was so easy to talk to her, talking to her was like talking to my peers with a dash of wisdom and experience in it.

    Dear mama,
    I find myself searching for words that can capture the depth of gratitude and love we hold for you. You were not just a relative; you were the steady heartbeat of our childhood, the warm light in every corner of our early lives. You took us in when we had nowhere else to go and you did so with a kind of quiet grace that made us feel not like guests but like sons.

    You taught us that family is built not just by blood but by the love and care we give each other. You showed us how to stand tall, how to be kind and how to move through the world with compassion. Every sacrifice you made was a gift that shaped us into the men we are today.

    So as we say goodbye, we’re not just mourning your passing. We’re celebrating the legacy of a woman who gave us a home when we needed it most, who wrapped us in her warmth and who leaves behind a legacy of love that will forever be part of who we are.

    Mama, thank you for everything. You are so deeply loved and will be dearly missed.

    I do not really know where to start. Sister Wangs was my senior sister,i.e., my egbon,my friend,my confidant,my Christian sister. I can go on and on.
    I have always known her . Her parents’ brother and sister Doe were very close friends of my parents’ brother and sister Akinpelu. She was also very close with my siblings and their children. We were a close nit family. She saw me growing up . She played a pivotal role during our wedding. Some of her children were our flower girls.
    She was a person you could always confide in . She was selfless,very caring, very loving, very kind, generous, and compassionate. She was a great mother to her children and grandchildren. She was a friend to everybody. If you think she loved you and you are the only one she relates well with, wait until you see her relating with other people. She got on well with everybody. All those who knew her would miss her greatly. My story would not be complete if I missed out on the most important part, which is her spirituality . She loved Jehovah and His service greatly. I remember with fondness our beautiful times together in the field ministry where we also shared life’s experiences. In spite of her failing health then she would always endeavour to be out in service and in the meetings. I also remember with fondness how inspite of her poor eyesight and the fact that our midweek meetings at times ends when it is dark because of the weather she would still endeavour to drive there or make arrangements for some one to take her to and from the meetings. Whenever she travelled, she always made adequate arrangements with those who would help conduct studies with some of her bible students while she would conduct some studies from Canada. She had the interest of her students at heart. She loved singing the Kingdom songs. It has been difficult for me to accept the fact that we would not enjoy those beautiful times we had together again. My consolation, however, is in the resurrection hope, which our heavenly Father Jehovah who can not lie promised. John 5:28&29. I hope to be reunited with her very soon.

    A life well lived is making each day count towards bringing praise and honour to Jehovah – through the demonstration of wholehearted love for God and humans. Michael 6:8 “ And what is Jehovah requiring of you? Only to exercise justice, to cherish loyalty, And to walk in modesty with your God! ”. Seeing the love expressed from her children, my aunt, family and numerous friends clearly shows what a remarkable woman she was. She demonstrated great love for Jehovah, the ministry and people. I remember Linda and Ladi as children taking me to Vom to visit their mom fondly. Precious moments. Jehovah our tender and loving father always remembers faithfully friends and yearns to reunite each of them with their loved ones. Job 14:15. The value of a good name with Jehovah is priceless, she sure made one. May Jehovah give each person in the Wangs family everything required to heal – and even much more. May each person hold on firmly to the unfailing hope from our Rock and God Jehovah. Toyin Mbadiwe(nee Gali)

I’m grateful for the time spent with her in the field ministry especially return visits and most recently cart witnessing. I will not forget the good time spent together doing rehearsals for dramas at the then district conventions. We had nice times. I will miss being called “Iya Selya” (she was the only one that called me that)but I’m going to hold on to Jehovah too like she did so that one day again I can hear “Iya Selya” then I will know we are in paradise because Jehovah cannot lie- Titus 1:2. Where are your stings, oh death?

      Elizabeth Wangs has gone to rest, we are eagerly looking forward to reuniting
      with her in paradise.
      I will definitely miss her companionship which we enjoyed since our childhood days till now.
      Her Golden voice and upbuilding comments at the meetings will also be missed. Let Elizabeth Wangs rest now till Jehovah through his son Jesus Christ calls-Job 14:14,15

    She was a mother, friend and a sister. She filled in these roles when the need arises. I can’t forget how we confided in each other not minding the age gap. She use to advice me on important things in life. I learned a lot from working with her in field service. Her strong faith in the resurrection is something that has helped me to bear the lost of my loved ones including her now. She loved my children unconditionally. They spent times and weekends in her house. Words can not express how I am going to miss her. Can’t wait for the time we will welcome her back at resurrection when she will be young and healthy.

    Ma will be missed dearly but I’ll keep my integrity to see her again because I look forward to eating achishiru loudly with everyone and having a sleepover at your house without pretending to be sick ever again.

    Sister Wangs, that is what we affectionately called you, and that name alone feels warm.

    You had a way of making people feel safe and cared for without even trying. Kindness wasn’t something you showed, it was simply who you were.

    At first when I wasn’t a Witness (I saw witnesses as weird), I understood and liked you very much. Your warmth, your patience, your quiet faith stayed with me. And when I began studying the Bible, I often thanked you silently, because your example helped shape that journey in ways you never knew.

    I still remember the joy on your face the day I got baptized. It’s a memory I’ll carry forever.

    I’ll miss you more than words can say. But this isn’t goodbye forever. Jehovah’s promise of the resurrection gives me certainty that I’ll see you again, young, strong, and full of life.

    Until then, we hold onto your memory, and the gentle mark you left on our hearts.

    Dear Sister Ruth, Glory, Jugu, Denis, Simi, and all the family,
    ​We were deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Mama.

    ​As we were reading her obituary, we found ourselves nodding to everything—her loving personality, her spiritual zeal, and her endurance are truly an example for all of us. We still can’t believe Mama has left us.
    ​We pray for Jehovah to continue to comfort you during this difficult time.

    We eagerly anticipate the fulfillment of Isaiah 25:8, when we will welcome her back in Paradise. In that time, death, our greatest enemy, will be done away with, and we will enjoy life with our loved ones FOREVER.

    With heartfelt love,
    Mawuli & Jennifer Gavi

    Oh, Granny!!! as I fondly call you,my heart is deeply saddened by your demise, and it is difficult to find the right words to express how much you meant to me. You were a mother to me— very kind, attentive, and endlessly thoughtful. I will always cherish the memories of the times we shared, from the joyful afternoons and evenings when you patiently taught I and my siblings how to play scrabble, to the comforting moments when you would prepare bitterleaf soup and fish pepper soup whenever I visited just because you knew I loved them.

    Your love, warmth, and generosity left a mark in my life that I will carry forever. Thank you for treating me like your own, for your wisdom, and for the countless ways you showed you cared.

    You will be deeply missed, but your kindness will continue to live on in all the lives you touched. See you in paradise, when all things are made new.
