November 25, 1928 to June 13, 2021
COLUMBIA - Laxmiben Manulal Thakker, born November 25th, 1928, in Upardal, Gujarat, lived a long, fulfilling life. After spending her childhood in Upardal, she later lived in Sarangpur, Ahmedabad, as a young wife and loving mother to four.
The eldest of five, Laxmiben was the matriarch of her family. In 1981, she visited her oldest daughter in the United States. Ten years later, she moved to the United States with her husband in 1991, where she lived in Columbia, South Carolina, with her children for 30 years.
Laxmiben was extremely talented in embroidery, enjoyed reading, and was a devout Swaminarayan. Much loved and respected amongst all of her friends and family, she was well known in the community.
Her greatest joy came from her four children, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was happiest when the entire family was together, laughing and making memories.
She is deeply missed and forever loved.
