SHAMANTHA XAVIER Obituary

XAVIER, Shamantha Naomi It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Shamantha Naomi Xavier of Brookline, Massachusetts on January 23, 2017. Surrounded by loved ones, Shamantha left us peacefully after a courageous battle that she approached with unwavering grace, dignity, and humor. Her generosity and ready smile always shone through, and the kindness and selflessness that embodied her soul and touched everyone around her will always be remembered. Born on November 16, 1966, Shamantha grew up in Buffalo, NY. She was an avid lover of the arts and meticulous in her own creative endeavors in design with a keen eye for perfection. She was the loving wife of Ramnik Xavier, beloved daughter of Subitha and the late Moses Nesarajah, sister of Rohan and sister-in-law of Shenuka, cherished aunt to Shamara, daughter-in-law of Emmanuel Paul (Vimal) and Rohini Xavier, sister-in-law of Dhiren and his wife Sountha, Niraj, Niranthi and her husband Arunakumaren, and Amirthi and her husband Sathyendra. The family will receive relatives and friends at Lehman, Reen & McNamara Funeral Home, 63 Chestnut Hill Ave., (Nr. Brighton Courthouse), BRIGHTON, from 4-8 pm on Wednesday, January 25. A Funeral Mass will be held at the Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, 28 Commonwealth Ave., Chestnut Hill at 10 am on Thursday, January 26. Burial will be at the Forest Lawn Cemetery, 1411 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14209 on Friday, January 27. In lieu of flowers, donations in her honor (Shamantha Xavier) can be made to Massachusetts General Hospital, c/o MGH Development Office, 125 Nashua St., Ste. 540, Boston, MA 02114-1101.
