Jai Jinendra,
It is with great sadness that we announce that our dearest Nimaben passed away this Monday evening 28/02/2022, aged 93.
Born: 17th August 1928 – Mombasa, Kenya
Died: 28th February 2022 – London, UK
Born in 1928, Nimaben grew up as one of three siblings in Mombasa. She had a passion for teaching, and taught music and Gujarati to hundreds of children both in Kenya and in the UK, as well as teaching many people how to swim! Although she never had children of her own, she was a mother, grandmother, and even great-grandmother to all those around her.
Until the very end, her mind and body were completely active. She would do sudoku puzzles daily, win our card games nights, and remember everyone’s names, birthdays and phone numbers off by heart! She was a big sports fan and would love to watch the cricket and tennis. She also loved watching music shows and teaching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren bhajans, as well as reading them Gujarati story tales.
She was a truly kind and pure hearted soul, and was loved and respected by so many around the world. She was completely selfless and always led a simple life, never wanting anything from anyone, except to see their happiness. She will be dearly missed.
