Kamla Singh Obituary

Singh, Kamla Kumari 79 June 19, 1934 Mar. 15, 2014 Born to Kunwar and Raj Singh in Visama, Fiji, Kamla was educated and began her career as a nurse in New Zealand. She then moved to the United States and worked at Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix and later at Multnomah County Hospital and Valley Medical Clinic in Portland. In 1962, she married Bhawar Singh in Mosgiel, New Zealand, and they moved back to Portland to build a life together. Kamla enjoyed travel, especially driving trips around the U.S. and journeys back to New Zealand, as well as to Hawaii, Mexico and Europe, gardening and collecting "snow village" houses. Above all, she enjoyed any time spent with family and friends. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Bhawar Singh; children, Vijay, Veena and Vinod Singh; grandchildren, Christina, Dominic, Killian and Cordelia; and siblings, Lolita, Leila and Mike. A celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 29, 2014, at Oak Hills Christian Reformed Church, 2800 N.W. 153rd Ave., Beaverton. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the American Diabetes Association, American Kidney Foundation or a charity of choice. Visit her memorial page at: www.peggpaxsonspringerfuneralhome.com.

I read of Mrs. Singh's passing today, while searching for names of people I knew when living in Portland from over 40 years ago. My late Mom, Dr. Pauline Grodsky, was a good friend of the Singh family, and was also a member of the same anesthesiology group at Kaiser-Permanente as Dr. Bhawar Singh, while we lived in Portland. I fondly remember Mrs. Singh preparing some wonderful dinners for my Mom and I when we dropped by for visits. My deepest condolences to the Singh family for your loss.
