Chitra Devi Mahadeo

Ramkissoon Mahadeo, passed away peacefully on January 21, 2021 in

Winter Garden, Florida. She was born on December 22, 1947 in Ocean

View, Uitvlugt, Guyana.

The eldest of nine children, Chitra, also known as Sham, moved to New

York City in 1973. She was exceptionally driven and honed her

impressive skillset throughout her adulthood. In New York during the

1970s, she began work as a secretary at a firm which contracted with

several government agencies, including NASA, before eventually

becoming office manager. In the 80s, she continued work as an office

manager at a real estate company before she became an agent and moved

into real estate investment. While she continued to practice real

estate in Orlando, Florida during the 90s, she also began working at a

hospital while studying to become a nurse. Throughout the 2000s, she

practiced nursing at a doctor’s office where she was beloved by her

patients and coworkers. Chitra had a thirst for knowledge and pursued

learning about a vast array of topics, from various religions to

Italian Renaissance art. She had a playful sense of humor, loved to

laugh and have fun, travel, spend time with her large family, and sing

her favorite karaoke bhajans as often as possible!

Chitra will be missed and lovingly remembered by her extensive family.

She is survived by her four daughters and sons-in-law, Sarita (Sandy)

& Gabriel, Nalini (Lindy) & Chris, Narita (Wendy) & Kyle, and Nandini

(Cindy) & Christopher; sisters and brothers-in-law, Lakshmi (Raj) &
