Indra TOOLSIE Obituary
1950 – 2017
It is with a great sense of sorrow and loss our family announces the passing of Indra Toolsie, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt on May 13, 2017. She will be forever remembered by her loving husband David; her three children Sasha, Shelley, and Wayne, and her cherished granddaughter Suraya. Her siblings Chan, Shanti, Kamal, Deosaran, Minoutie, and Deoraj will carry on her spirit. As well, Indra's extended family in Trinidad will hold a special place in their hearts for her forevermore. Indra was predeceased by her father Jagai, mother Basso Jagai, and her older sister Suruj.
Indra was a caring, kind, and fiercely compassionate person. She was looked upon by all who knew her for guidance, motivation, and her love for laughter.
A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, May 19, 2017 at Highlands United Church, (11305 64 Street, Edmonton) with Rev. John Burrill officiating. Interment of the urn to follow at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.

Over the past year I have thought of Indra often. We worked side by side for many years. And since I continue to work there so many things remind me of her ...and I love it because whenever I think of her I smile. We had some good laughs and some deep conversations. you are missed my girl!

Indra was such a sweet person....and I loved the banter we had whenever we ran into each other in the cafeteria - or on the phone when we had to deal with a work issue. Thinking of her makes me smile. She was a beautiful person inside and out.....she will be missed very much.

My deepest sympathy to Shelly, Sasha and the rest of the Toolsie family. I met and got to know Indra at the fitness classes. She was always cheerful and had a good personality. May god bless you at this difficult time of sorrow.

To Indra's family, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. It is quite a few years since I saw Indra but having worked on the same floor at WCB I had the opportunity to enjoy her many attributes and as such, not a lady to easily be forgotten. May your many memories bring you comfort at this time and may your tears turn to laughter as she would wish for you.

I am terribly saddened that I missed the service. My heart goes out to Shelley, Sasha and Wayne, and the entire family. Having worked with Indra for many years, her smile, laughter and very kind heart will be greatly missed by all. May you find comfort in those around you. I hope she is at peace, sending my love. Shelley <3

So what does one say about such lovely and beautiful lady gone so soon? A lovely, cheerful lady, who was a lady, in every sense. I enjoyed her company, loved her laugh, and appreciated her unending compassion. I've no doubt she will be greatly missed by her family to whom I will just say that she will always be with you and she is safely in God's care. Rest in peace, Indra...I'll always remember you!

Dear Toolsie family, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I worked with Indra for several years and got together a fair amount when our children were young, many great memories and alot of laughter. She was a very lovely lady and will be in my heart forever. God Bless you all.
May 19, 2017
It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, stories, and smiles. Even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. My deepest condolences Dave and family.

It is not by chance that we loose a person so wonderful, so dedicated, so loyal, so nurturing and so courageous. It is by design. This way- we all can learn and emulate a woman whose life has shone and will always shine through the lives of her children and those she touched.

Indra was my co worker and friend of mine and my husband for many years. We always felt close to Indra. But I think she had a way of making everyone feel like they were special. She was a very giving person and EVERY time she went home to Trinidad she brought my husband a little edible reminder of home. It was a pleasure knowing her and she will be missed. May God Bless her family and help them thru this difficult time
