Chhaya Dutta Obituary

In Loving Memory
Mrs. Chhaya Dutta passed away on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at her home in Potomac, Maryland, surrounded by people who loved her dearly. Chhaya Dutta was born on August, 1, 1932 in Chandernagar West Bengal, India and grew up in Kolkata, India with her parents and her four sisters and two brothers. Her marriage to Dr. Samarendra Nath Dutta in 1958 led to her move to the United States, where she created a comfortable and loving home for her family. Yet, her devotion to and love for India remained strong throughout her life.
Chhaya was a consummate homemaker, an avid and talented gardener, a wonderful seamstress/quilter, as well as an excellent cook. Her neighbors admired the beautiful flowers she cultivated at home and often came to her for advice on gardening. Her gentle nature, kindness, and quiet grace were easily evident to all that met her. She is survived by her daughter, Chhanda and her brother, Gopen, in the United States and by her sister, Chitra in India. Chhaya will be dearly missed and always remembered.
