It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Roopaotee Woosaree on October 19, 2020 at the age 89. She was born in Triolet, Mauritius Island before moving to Alberta, Canada in 1983. She will be loving cherished and remembered by her children Leckraj, Devi, Shyama, Shantaram, Jaykrishan, Akash, Jairaj and Reeshi and their spouses; 21 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her husband Hurrychun Woosaree, and her son; Rajendranath Woosaree.
Roopaotee was a homemaker of many talents. Her proudest accomplishment was ensuring each of her nine children received a good education in a time when there were no modern conveniences. She enjoyed visiting friends and neighbors, visiting the markets and attractions, and picnicking. Whenever there was a chance to be outside, she would go and bring her loved ones with her. As a grandmother and great-grandmother, she continued these enjoyments and as her family grew, so did her joy.
Her legacy was to teach, show love, patience, kindness, forgiveness, cooperation, and above all; to be present for all of life’s moments. To know that if you see an obstacle, see it as an opportunity and overcome it. Her family, friends, neighbors, and community will dearly miss her.
Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, a private family and by invitation only gathering will be held.
