Left to cherish her memory are her children: Callista, Shirani (Sarath), Sunil (Soma), Felix Daya (Sunimal), Hugh (Carmel), Nilmini (Lal) and daughters in-law Rani and Eran. She will fondly remain in the hearts of her sixteen grandchildren: Nishan (Wendy), Dayan (Carolyn), Tammy (Geoff), Nimali (Graham), Rukshanthi (Ananda), Dayan, Charlene, Dillon (Serena), Duane, Ishani (Antony), Neshali (Todd), Shihan (Danielle), Shenali, Nimali (Brendan), Ryan, Logan and four great grandchildren: Maya, Kylie, Keenan, and Ethan.
