Charn Sandhu Obituary

Charn Kaur Sandhu

Peacefully at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital on Saturday January 31, 2015, at the age of 89. Beloved wife of Chanan for 72 years. Loving mother (and mother-in-law) of Preme, Jeet (Cindy) and Paul (Teresa). Cherished grandmother of Sameena, Bobby, Geeta, Rubeena, Ricky, Jason, Tej, Kellan and Tristan. Adored great-grandmother of Sage, Oriah, Deynan, Jayden, Sitarah and Kaelan, Lukas, Taylor and Jaya.

Born on August 25, 1925 in Kandola, Punjab, she immigrated to Canada on May 22, 1954. Along with her two eldest children and nephew she joined her devoted and industrious husband in Lake Cowichan BC. An unsurpassed homemaker, she dedicated herself to assisting family, relatives and friends in the East Indian community to a making a better life in Canada. Her endless generosity meant literally hundreds passed through her home. To these, she became Ma, Bibi, Nan, Dhadi-ma, Bhuaji, Auntie and Mataji. She was not simply a mother to her own children but to all of those, to whom she provided unparelled wisdom, guidance, confidence and support for future success.

She was always surrounded by loving family (immediate and extended) and her final days were no exception. The family would like to thank the fourth floor staff of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital who gracefully cared for her. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested memorial donations to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation.

The visitation, funeral and cremation took place on Wednesday February 4, 2015 at Yates Funeral Home in Parksville B.C.
