It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, Pritam Kaur Dodd on March 21, 2022. Predeceased by her husband Ajit (2007) and son Balbinder (1987), Mom will be dearly missed by family and friends. She leaves behind her daughter Rashpal Parmar (Lakhbir) and son Aqbal (Manpreet), her sister Krishna Parmar (Chanan), sister-in-law Surjit Parmar (late brother, Joginder) and brother Kabal Parmar (Kuldip). Mom was adored by her grandchildren Kalbir, Tasha, Gagandeep, Rabina and Preesha, and her precious great-grandchildren Riya, Kaeya, Ryan and Blair; her day was brightened whenever she was with them. She was the matriarch of the family and was the glue that kept us all together.
Born in Punjab, India, in 1929, Mom was the eldest of seven siblings. She moved to Canada in 1956 and the family settled in Port Alberni. The family then moved to Victoria in 1993.
Mom was a very resilient and caring woman who loved social gatherings with family and friends. She enjoyed humor and was happiest when she listened and shared funny stories of her own. Mom had an infectious smile and laugh. One of her greatest gifts was to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated. She would always be there to listen and offer advice. Her memory was second to none and amazed us all by the details she could recall from years past. Mom was an avid gardener and excellent cook; she took pleasure in passing on her skills to the younger generation.
Our family would like to thank the excellent staff at the Broadmead Lodge, particularly those of Lodge B2 who cared for her with much compassion and kindness over the past year.
Friends and family are invited to a memorial service at 10:00 am on Saturday, March 26, 2022 in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC followed by a religious service and lunch at the Sikh Gurdwara, 1210 Topaz Avenue, Victoria, BC. Condolences may be offered to the family below.
