Chandra Ruparelia
October 14, 2023
Passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family in London, Ontario, two weeks shy of her 95th birthday.
Chandra was predeceased by her beloved husband, Harish (2016). Cherished mother to her daughter Rita, and sons Ashu and Shivesh. Dear sister to Samir, Ashok, and the late Damyanti. She will be dearly missed by her eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Together with their children, Chandra and Harish lived in Kampala, Uganda and Halifax, before settling in London, Ontario in 1987.
She worked as a nurse, a midwife, a teacher, and a librarian in a career spanning three continents and four decades. Chandra was a lover of fashion, fitness, music, and dance; she delighted in throwing garden parties, playing bridge, and travelling the world. Chandra lived a wonderful life for more than nine decades, among her loving family and dearest friends of the London community and beyond.
Visitation will be held at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Tuesday from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. The funeral ceremony will be held at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, 303 Riverside Drive, London, on Wednesday, October 18, 2023 from 10:15 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Memorial donations may be made to the Hindu Cultural Centre of London.
We pray for her peaceful onward journey.
