Mrs. Pushpamirtham Manosakthi Sabaratnam (nee Sithamparapillai) திருமதி. புஷ்பமிர்தம் சபாரத்தினம் (1933 – 2024)

Final Voyage6 Comments
Mrs. Pushpamirtham Manosakthi Sabaratnam (Baba)

Formerly of 29 Forest Office lane, Chundikuli, Jaffna and later in Australia and Colombo, called to rest on  22nd of April 2024 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Dearly beloved wife of late Thambiah Sabaratnam (retired teacher), affectionate mother of Amirtha Rajamoney (Australia), Saratha Sabaratnam (Australia), late Sritharan (United Kingdom), Vanitha Jeyaranjan (United Kingdom), Ranjana Thambirajah (Australia), Narendran (Germany), Roshana Jebaratnam (Australia) and Mohana Loganathan (Colombo) and caring mother-in-law of Anandan, Shiranee, Ranjan, Gajan, Jeya, Rajiv, and Logan.

Loving and caring ammamma/ daddy paaty /granny of Nirosha, Shiromi, Luxmi, Aswini, Gaya, Naveen, Sharmi, Althea, Enoka, Joel, Isabella, Gabby, and Jerome and great-grandmother of Jayda, Judah, Ariella, Hannah, and Riya.

Loving daughter of late Pushpam and NS Sithamparapillai and Sarasvathi Sithamparapillai, loving sister of late Pusparasa Sithamparapillai, late Pushparani Thirunavukkarasu (Rani), Pushpadevi  Sithamparapillai (Ranji), late Pushparagam Alagaratnam (Mano), late Pushpalayam Sivagurunathan (Gnanam), Sarojini Subramaniam (Pillai) (Canada), Stephen Puvendran (Indran) (Canada) and late Puvanendran Sithamparapillai (Rajan) (USA).

Loving and affectionate sister-in-law of Mangai Muthiah, Nadarajah, Parasakthi Muthiah, Rathinasabapathy (Kunchaiah) and  Sarvaluxmy (Kunchamma) ( all deceased ) 

Amma has been affectionately known as ‘Pushpi’ by her class mates at Chundikuli Girls College, Baba/Baba acca ( ‘Baakka’) by her siblings, ‘Machchal’ by her  in-laws, Baba anta/Baba mami or periamma by her nieces and nephews, and ‘Pushpa’ by her Aussie friends. Thus she is fondly remembered and will be missed by many across the globe. Her loss would deprive us all, of her great love and care that she endowed on many including her generosity towards the community.

She was a great care-giver and loved to cook. From a young age, she played a pivotal role in the development of her younger siblings, then chose to raise 8 children instead of an English teaching career, nurtured various young extended family members in her own house and went on to rear many of her grandchildren. Her life-long dedication to the nurturing and mentorship of others is truly unmatched.

Amma has been cared for by WinLanka Care Home Pvt. Ltd at Nugegoda for nearly 4 years. WinLanka care provision had been exceptional; particular staff member that amma became attached to was Jayantha. Special gratitude go to Dr.Radha and Dr.Madhuka who were receptive and responsive to family’s wishes in treatment decisions. Our family are extremely blessed for the significant input over the last year from Madu, a younger woman, who amma referred to as ‘Aachi’ fondly and came to rely heavily on. Madu became a ‘family member’ to the Sabaratnam family because of her dedication to the care she provided like a daughter, until amma’s last breath.

Please accept the obituary from the Sabaratnam family and uphold the family in your prayers.

மெய்யா விமலா விடைப்பாகா வேதங்கள்
ஐயா எனவோங்கி ஆழ்ந்து அகன்ற நுண்ணியனே

Eulogy of Mrs. Lily Pavalamalar Maurice

April 11, 1934 – October 18, 2023

With heavy hearts and tearful eyes, we gather here today to bid farewell to an incredible woman, Mrs. Lily Pavalamalar Maurice. Lily, also fondly known as Aasai Amma or Pavalam Mami, was a beacon of love, compassion, and strength who touched the lives of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished in our hearts.

Lily’s journey began in Paruthithurai, Sri Lanka, where she was born to Muthaliar Murugesu Stephen Chellappah and Victoria Arulamma Kanapathipillai. Growing up in a family of six children, Lily learned the importance of love, unity, and resilience from an early age. Despite enduring the loss of her parents at a young age, Lily’s unwavering spirit continued to shine through, becoming a pillar of support for her siblings.

Education played a significant role in Lily’s life, as she embarked on a path to become a teacher. Udupiddy American Mission College was the foundation of her academic journey, where she excelled under the guidance of her beloved mentor, Ms. Lee. Lily’s passion for education led her to become a teacher at the young age of 18, and she later pursued further studies at Teacher’s Training College in Nallur, Jaffna.

In 1963, Lily married the late Kanapathipillai Nalliah Yogasingham Maurice, and together they built a beautiful life centered around love, faith, and family. Lily and Maurice were blessed with two wonderful daughters, Premini and Nilanthy, who became the epitome of the values Lily held dear. As a caring and devoted mother, Lily instilled in her daughters the importance of kindness, compassion, and the unwavering belief in the power of faith.

Lily’s dedication to education continued throughout her life, as she guided students at Al-Hidaya Maha Vidyalaya in Colombo for 19 years and later at St. Charles Maha Vidyalayam in Jaffna. Her impact on the lives of her students was immeasurable, as she not only imparted knowledge but inspired them to reach for their dreams.

In 1995, Lily and Maurice made the life-changing decision to immigrate to Canada, joining their younger daughter, Nilanthy, and son-in-law, Ivon. Lily’s nurturing nature extended beyond her immediate family, as she lovingly shared her wisdom with her grandsons, Nathan and Joel. Her patient guidance and unconditional love were instrumental in shaping their lives.

Throughout her journey, Lily faced numerous challenges, including a battle with breast cancer. With her unwavering faith and the support of her family, Lily emerged victorious against this formidable foe. Her strength, resilience, and unwavering positivity during this time were an inspiration to all who knew her.

Lily’s love knew no bounds, extending to her extended family and friends. She was a loving aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother, always available to lend an ear, offer advice, and shower her loved ones with affection. Lily’s presence brought warmth, joy, and a sense of belonging to all lucky enough to know her.

On October 18, 2023, Lily peacefully passed away surrounded by her family and ministers, entering the eternal embrace of our Lord Jesus. Her legacy of love, faith, and selflessness lives on in the hearts of her daughters, Premini and Nilanthy, her sons-in-law, Kabilamany and Ivon, her grandchildren, Sangeetha, Sinthu, Nathan, and Joel, and her great-grandchildren, Judah, Lucas, and Norah.

As we bid farewell to Lily today, let us remember the beautiful soul she was. Let us honor her memory by living each day with the same love, compassion, and strength that she embodied. Though she may no longer be physically present, her spirit will forever guide and protect us.

Rest in peace, dear Lily Pavalamalar Maurice. You will forever be cherished and dearly missed.
