Jovita SHARMA Obituary

JOVITA SHARMA Jovita Sharma, passed away peacefully March 20, 2022. As she did most things in her 84 years of life, Jovi took her advanced cancer diagnosis courageously in stride working till her birthday on March 15 exhibiting the kind of strength and grace for which she will forever be remembered. Her joie de vivre has been and will continue to be an inspiration to her children, Anita (D'Souza), Neil (Sharma) and Vanita (Sharma); her daughter-in-law, Sharmila (Sharma); grandchildren, Nikhil, Shania, Shane and Caelen and her great- granddaughter, Tara-Elise, extended family and friends who became family. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica on Saturday, March 26 at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to https:// stmichaelsfoundation.com/ donate/ where the Emergency, MSICU medical and Palliative Care teams at St. Michael's Hospital took outstanding care of her.

I think the hardest part is how sudden this was because this no one expected it especially with her zest for life!
I remember Aunty Jovi zooming around Dubai in her bright red car and yes always dressed to impressed. Was in awe then and till recently.
Hope you´re flying with the angels, Aunty Jovi!

I don't have words to express the loss. Jovi was always a bunch of energy - we'd call her Tina Turner, always so fashionable. We pray for strength at this very hard time and may her soul forever rest in peace.

It seems just the other day Aunty Jovita was in Kolkata. Globetrotting on her own, age never stopped her. Her zest for life and unstoppable energy left us younger generation amazed. Will always remember her infectious laugh. She lived life to the fullest. Rest in peace Aunty Jovita.

Dear Children, Anita, Neil & Vanita. It is with a heavy heart, that I hunt for words to express what uncle and I feel. The only comfort is that our dearest friend is peaceful and happy with the Lord and we cannot ask for better. Our families have quite a long history and we are grateful for the happy memories. We shall hold on to those and think of your ma and Jovi our dearest friend.

Jovita was the kind of person when I first met her would have a huge smile that lit up around her. She was a great person and enjoyed our small pep talk every time I see her at the downtown Path. Rest In Peace

Our Deepest condolences to Jovi's children Anita, Neil and Vanita and their extended families. We knew Jovi since her life in Lucknow where she lived 2 houses away from us. We always admired her and followed her taste in clothes. We lost touch with her since she moved to Dubai and then Canada. However, Jovi got in touch when I (Rita) lost my mother in 2017 and since then have been in touch. I will miss her and talks on various subjects from health to sports. She was a joy to talk with and was always so full of news and life. It came as a big shock to us because she never mentioned that she was sick or had advanced stage cancer. May her soul rest in peace and pray that her family will grow to live with the enormous loss of Jovi.

Jovita was always happy when I saw her in the lunch room. she always said hello and had some story to say. She was graceful and always dressed to the 9's. My gosh I didn't know she in her 80's, what an amazing lady. My deepest Condolences to her family and friends. May she find peace.

My condolences to Jovita's family and friends. With our work from home situation the past few years, I had not seen her for some time. But I can not forget how she would grab the mail and faxes before she even had her coat off each morning, how she dressed up every day with her heels on and rarely if ever, called in sick. Such a fashionista ;-) One can only hope to have that kind of energy and spirit at that age. Something to be admired. I am so grateful she did not suffer. May she rest in peace.

Have fond memories of Jovi Aunty , Chachaji and their Children, (my first cousins) in Calcutta way back in 1969. Our regular Sundays spent at P 119 Block F New Alipore listening to lunch time variety on the radio. Family Travel & picnics to Digha, Botanical Garden etc.
Jovi Aunty was a loving mother,sincere worker who didn't let her age and health stop her from doing things that she enjoyed most in life.
Rest in peace Jovi Aunty and pray that God gives her family the strength to bear the great loss.

My condolences to the family of Jovita Sharma, my friend from over 20years. Still in shock hearing the news as I remember the day we spent together in January 2022. Vibrant and young at heart as always, was Jovi. Never a trip to Canada was complete without seeing and chatting with her.
Will miss you Jovi.
Eternal rest grant unto Jovita oh Lord, may perpetual light shine on her, May She rest in peace, Amen
