The Ugandan Community in the Netherlands is mourning the death of Doreen Angee, who was a nurse, a model and a dancer with her own music label supporting the music business in northern Uganda.

Angee had spent close to 10 years without seeing her family in Gulu. On December 21, 2021, Doreen Angee left the Netherlands for Uganda to surprise her family.

However, as fate would have it, the surprise was never to be, a car she was travelling in got involved in an accident, and even though she was rushed to Gulu hospital for medical care, she didn’t make it.

Police said the car Angee was travelling in had a head-on collision with a trailer at Koro along the Gulu-Kampala Highway on December 24, 2021.

Painfully Doreen was robbed of life before she could even see her family members back in Uganda. She died at the age of 25.

Irene Ayaa, one of those who are organizing her burial noted that Angee lived with her younger sister in the Netherlands, “She was travelling to Gulu and they had a terrible accident after Karuma. She was rushed to Gulu Hospital but could not make it due to the internal injuries she suffered,” Ayaa said.

Plans are ongoing for her send-off in Gulu. A GoFundMe campaign was created to help generate support towards a decent send-off and to help her sister travel to attend her funeral in Uganda.
