Ganesha's obituary
Ganesha was so full of energy and was always the life of the party; she is the one that will never be forgotten.
Ganesha, “Neena” or “Cornflakes” as she was affectionately known by her family when she was as a child, always had lots of friends and loved to dance! As a youngster, she took up ballet and modern dance; and would love to choreograph her own moves to perform for family and friends.
From an early age, Ganesha loved to tend to the babies and went on to have five beautiful angels of her own; and they meant the entire world to her. Ganesha was well-known and loved by many and she loved to give and serve others. She was always doing something for a friend, family or co-worker. She definitely had a kind and giving spirit that anyone who was blessed enough to know her, could attest to.
Ganesha was definitely all about her family and loved her husband and children immensely. She also had a very special relationship with her mother and loved to spend time with her sisters, grandmother, nieces and nephews, Godchildren and other family members. She loved having gatherings at her home and traveling back to New Orleans or to where her and her husband could find an adventure and create the memories that will be held on to for years to come.
We will miss her light and her ever glowing spirit but will remain comforted in the fact that we have gained an Angel.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." – Romans 8:28
