Born in La Grange, Guyana, Rohini Persaud, affectionately known as "Babs," immigrated to the United States and made her home in Jersey City. She was admired for her generous spirit and took great pride in owning a fashion boutique at Stabroek Market, where her sense of style and business acumen shone brightly. She later dedicated many years to the hospitality industry with the Marriott Courtyard.
A beloved daughter of the late Phulmania, and the sister of the late Deonaraine "Budda" Jaikaran and Rajdai Dookie, Rohini is lovingly survived by her sons Vijay Sammy and Steven Narine, her daughter-in-law Seelochnie Sammy, and her adored grandchildren Alexander, Mellisa, Angelica, and Aaron Sammy. She is also survived by her cherished sisters Sahadai "Pearly" James and Chamranie "Ruby" Persaud, along with many nieces and nephews who will forever remember her warmth, generosity, and sophistication.
