Late Jayaben Ratilal Shah
22nd June 1941-12th August 2025
It is with profound grief and heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Mrs. Jayaben Ratilal Devraj Shah (Gaam Changaa – formerly of Meru Town) who left us on Tuesday, 12 August 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya.
Born to late Jesang Bhoja Shah and Late Amratben Bhoja Shah, she was a cherished daughter whose kindness and gentle spirit touched all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Her familial bonds were deep and enduring—she was the loving daughter-in-law of Late Devraj Dharamshi and Late Puriben Devraj Dharamshi (Meru)
A devoted wife to Late Ratilal Devraj Shah
As a mother, Jayaben’s love was boundless. She was the caring, nurturing mother of Rajesh Ratilal Shah (Kenya) and Nipuna Chetan Shah (UK), always offering unwavering support, encouragement and warmth.
She was mother-in-law to Heena Rajesh Shah and Chetan Dhirajlal Shah, who were blessed by her gentle guidance and affection
Her life was enriched by her siblings—Late Manjuben (Prabhulalbhai), Late Shantibhai (Taraben), Late Jayantibhai (Pushpaben), Late Induben (Late Shantibhai), Late Lataben (Navinbhai), Navinbhai (Bhartiben), and Ajitbhai (Minaben)—whose memories remain intertwined with hers
She was sister-in-law to Late Shardaben (Late Jayantilalbhai), Late Vijayben (Late Gulabbhai), Late Harakchandbhai (Kanchanben), Kanchanben (Late Jayantilal),Late Suryaben (Late Shantilalbhai), Late Rameshbhai (Mayeshwariben), Shobnaben (Late Jayantilalbhai) and Pratibhaben (Kamleshbhai)—their shared stories and laughter now live on in loving remembrance
Her legacy of affection lives on in her grandchildren—Akshi, Rikin and Janvi—who were the light of her life and brought her immeasurable joy
As an aunt, she showered love generously on Sonal (Jatin), Punita (Mehul), Jiten (Nishita), Prasita (Parul) and many more
