In a Facebook post on Sunday, June 28, 2026, the singer admitted she was still struggling to come to terms with her mother’s passing.
Liz revealed that she could not even bring herself to write any condolence message, saying she was still waiting to receive her mother’s body at Montezuma Funeral Home because the loss felt too unreal.

“It is with heavy hearts that we come to terms with the passing of the mother of our dear daughter Lizz Wangui Muchiri. In moments like these, the only word that truly speaks to your hearts is peace. May God’s peace comfort the family. You did your best for Mum. You honoured her with love while she was still alive. Take comfort in that. May her soul rest in eternal peace. Together with the Peniel family, we are praying for you,” Reverend Martha David wrote.
Popular businesswoman Damaris Muriithi, widely known as Dama Wa Mobile Spares, also joined thousands of Kenyans in comforting the gospel singer.
Sending her condolences, Dama reminded Liz that she had fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter and that the rest was in God’s hands.
“Hugs, Madam P.A. Lizz Wangui Muchiri for the loss of your lovely mum. You did your part; God did His will. May our mum rest in peace,” she wrote.
Bishop David Njoroge of Peniel Apostles Church, Kiserian, also expressed shock over the news, describing the death as a painful loss for both Liz and the church family.
