Lakshmisri Chatterjee Obituary

Published by Chandler Funeral Homes & Crematory - Wilmington on Dec. 17, 2016.
Lakshmisri Chakraborty Chatterjee, 64, of Wilmington, DE, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones on December 17, 2016. Born in Calcutta, India, to the late Ramesh C. and Juthika Chakraborty, Lakshmi grew up in New Delhi, India before marrying Ashoke Chatterjee and moving to Chattanooga, TN in 1971. After completing a Master's Degree in Sociology from Emory University, she worked as a special advocate for abused and neglected children and a paralegal at various firms in Wilmington. Throughout her adult life, Ashoke's work brought them to live in Bombay, India, Shanghai, China, and Hyderabad, India, before finally settling back in Wilmington, DE. Lakshmi was a seasoned traveler throughout Asia and Europe, an avid student of cultures and cuisine, an active member of the Indo-American Association of Delaware and donated her time and creations to local charities serving hospitals and orphanages. Lakshmi is survived by her husband, Ashoke Chatterjee; daughters Tiara Chatterjee and Pia Chatterjee (Robert Kuhn); her brothers Amitabha Chakraborty (Monica), Debabrata Chakraborty (Roma Debabrata), Subhas Chakraborty, Jawaharlal Chakraborty (Sunita), Shibaji Chakraborty; and her sister-in-law, Shanti Chakraborty. She is also survived by 5 nieces, 5 nephews, 4 grandnieces, and 5 grandnephews. She is predeceased by her brother, Partha Chakraborty. Visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 22, 2016 at Chandler Funeral Home, 7230 Lancaster Pike, Hockessin, DE. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Lakshmi's memory to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 200, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 (www.pancan.com).

It´s now 7 years since Lakshmi´s passing but her memories lingers on and will never fade. She was a very kind and a generous soul and kept us all - her friends- close to her heart.
Truly a good and a caring friend that she was to all.

Ashoke da,
Though so late, we express our heartfelt condolences for our beloved Lakshmisri's leaving us. We just came to on March 30, 2017 because we moved to Florida in October, 2016.
She is in peaceful and painless world now. We do hope you find peace.

Ashok,

I am saddened to know the passing of Lakshmisri; I just read the sad news from the Temple announcement. I have fond memories of Lakshmisri when you lived in Newark. She is in peace.

Shibaji,
I was saddened to hear about your sister and I know it has been a terrible blow to you. Words cannot heal that hole in your heart. Try to find comfort in your cherished memories of her. Hold onto them and share them often to keep your sister's memory alive. Though it seems elusive now, peace will come in time to your family and you.

Dear Ashoke , Tiara, and Pia

We are saddened to know your loss. You and especially Lakshmi was very close to us while you all lived here in TN. God bless you all!

Once I visited India, I stayed one night at Lakshmi's parents' home in New Delhi. They were so nice to me.

Tiara and Pia were almost same age to my daughter, Neetika. Tiara was so matured at young age. Lakshmi raised them very well! We still remember visiting your home first when we moved to Hixson in 1978.

Ashoke uncle, Tiara, and Pia - We are very sorry to hear of your loss and our deepest condolences. Lakshmi auntie was my mentor for the youth group and her passion for her community will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" (Isaiah 61:1, 2) sustain your family during this challenging time. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. After reading Lakshmisri's obituary, she was an educated and wonderful person who enjoyed traveling and giving of herself by helping less fortunate individuals. So, it's encouraging to know that all her good works are remembered by our great God.

Although, I never met Lakshmisri I felt I knew her through my dear friend her brother Shibaji. He always spoke of her intelligence, kindness and beauty. He was so very proud to be her brother.
