Dadi Ji (Shanti Devi)
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Dadi Ji, who left us peacefully in the early morning of Friday, March 21, 2025, at the age of 89. She lived a life rich with love, wisdom, and unwavering strength, leaving behind a legacy that will forever remain in our hearts.
Dadi Ji was a pillar of strength-both physically and mentally. Fearless and determined, she never hesitated to face life's challenges head-on. Her deep faith was the foundation of her resilience, and she found peace in prayer, always guided by her devotion.
She embraced life with open arms, finding joy in the simplest moments-sharing meals, telling stories, and cherishing time with her family. She had a love for good food, never turning down a slice of pizza, a comforting plate of rice, warm parathas, a bowl of pasta, or the sweet taste of mangoes. Her soft spot for Taco Bell Chalupas with mild sauce was legendary, and she savored every bite with pure delight.
Above all, she treasured her sons, daughters-in-laws, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, holding them close to her heart and speaking of them with endless pride and love. Her laughter, wisdom, and warmth created a bond that will never be broken.
Though she is no longer with us, her spirit will live on in the lessons she taught, the love she shared, and the memories we hold dear. Dadi Ji will always be with us-a guiding light, forever watching over our family.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, at the Lehrer Gibilisco Funeral Home located at 275 West Milton Avenue in Rahway, NJ. Cremation will take place at 12:30 pm at the Rosehill Crematory, 792 East Edgar Road, Linden, NJ.
