Lalitha Pandian, age 80, passed away peacefully on November 4th 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.
Wife of Late. Dr. AL.Paul Pandian, Lalitha is a true homemaker in every sense, she managed her household with grace and confidence, running everything smoothly and independently, always in her own thoughtful way. Lalitha was known for her warmth, creativity, and adventurous spirit. She had an extraordinary talent for cooking - especially her unforgettable non-vegetarian dishes that brought everyone together around the table. A woman of many talents, Lalitha was also an accomplished badminton player who proudly represented her college in competitions. Her passion for sports reflected her determination, discipline, and zest for life - qualities that defined her throughout the years.
Deeply involved in the community, Lalitha played an active role in the Lioness Club, where she enjoyed giving back, connecting with others, and contributing her time & energy to meaningful causes. Her creativity extended to her artistic pursuits seen in her beautiful hand-painted decorative pillows and intricate cross-stitch creations, which she continued to make until just a few months ago.
Lalitha also had a lively curiosity for life - she loved traveling across the United States to visit family and wasn't afraid to take on new adventures such as white-water rafting, jet skiing, hiking, and exploring caves.
She is survived by her daughter Selvi Aravindan and son-in-law Aravindan Ramachandran, her son Amuthan Pandian and daughter-in-law Veena Pandian; & her beloved grandchildren Arti Aravindan, Swati Aravindan and Vikram Pandian. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished in the hearts of all who knew her. In lieu of flowers, the family invites donations to charity in her memory to Team AIMS. https://teamaims.org/donations/givewp-donation-form/
Her love, creativity, and fearless spirit will continue to inspire all whose lives she touched.The family will receive friends Saturday, November 8, from 1 pm-3pm at the Wm. Sullivan & Son Funeral Home, 705 W. 11 Mile Rd. (4 blks E. of Woodward), Royal Oak. Share your memories at www.sullivanfuneraldirectors.com.
