Who was Eunice Dwumfour?
Eunice Dwumfour was a business analyst and part-time EMT who was elected to the Sayreville council as a Republican in 2021.
“As a community we are shocked and saddened at the loss of Eunice Dwumfour,” Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick, a Democrat, said in a statement. “Eunice was a dedicated member of our Borough Council who was truly committed to serve all of our residents. The fact that she was taken from us by a despicable criminal act makes this incident all the more horrifying.”
The mayor said Dwumfour was a woman of deep faith and worked hard to integrate her strong Christian beliefs in to her daily life as a person and a community leader.
“We are confident that our police department working collaboratively with the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office will bring this fast-moving investigation to a quick and successful conclusion and look forward to the identification, arrest, and successful prosecution of the person responsible,” Kilpatrick said.
“We remember Eunice for how she lived, not for how she died,” Sayreville Republican Chair Karen Bailey Bebert said in a statement. “She was the embodiment of Sayreville, living the American Dream, overcoming challenges with grit and a smile. And always giving of time and love to others. She embodied Sayreville and will be terribly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.”
