Savitri Devi Sharma

On Saturday, December 7, 2024, Savitri peacefully left this life surrounded by her entire loving family.

Savitri was born in India, on March 15th, 1936, to Dhani Ram and Parvati Devi and raised by mother, Vidya Devi Sanggar. She immigrated to Canada in 1970 with her husband and young family.

She was an accomplished seamstress sought out for her skill and expertise. She was also an amazing cook who gained so much happiness feeding all who dropped by for a visit. Her home was continuously filled with the love and laughter of friends and family and the aroma of her delicious dishes. Shortly, after arriving in Winnipeg, she started working with GWG as a seamstress for 10 years and then at Cara Flight Kitchen.

Savitri with her kind and gentle nature left a mark on the hearts of all that had the privilege of knowing her. She was a hard worker that never complained. She did it all and made it look effortless. Her beautiful spirit will be missed.

She lived up to her name ‘Devi’ as she overflowed with unconditional love. Those who knew her felt a special bond with her. She was devoted to her husband Lajpat Rai as they just celebrated 68 years of marriage. She will be lovingly remembered by all who knew her but especially her husband, her children Mohan (Julie), Raman (Manju), Angela (Gary) and her grandchildren Crystal (Kurtis), Sonia (Paul), Danielle, Alexis, Aambika, Preeya, Ashna, Rowen, Shaan and her beloved great grand daughters, Reveka and Veda. She will also be dearly missed by her siblings Prem, Nirmla, Raksha, and her sister in-law, Kanta, along with numerous relatives in Canada and India.

The funeral service will be held at 10:00 am on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at Thomson "In The Park" Funeral Home located at 1291 McGillivray Blvd. Livestream link https://funeraweb.tv/en/diffusions/100735
