In Loving Memory of Madhuben Patel

June 15, 1936 – August 6, 2025

Madhuben Patel, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on August 6th, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born June 15th, 1936 in Anand, Gujurat, India, Madhuben was the cherished daughter of Chotabhai and Maniben Patel. In 1990, she immigrated to the United States with her husband in pursuit of a new chapter, living with each of her children and creating lasting memories in their homes.

Madhuben's life was defined by love, devotion, and selflessness. She lived for her family, her 3 daughters, 1 son, 9 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren - who were the center of her world. Her wisdom, quiet strength, and gentle presence left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of warmth, compassion, and strength will live on through the generations she nurtured and inspired. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
