Pushpaben C. Patel

Pushpaben Patel, 83, passed away at 1:29 am, Saturday, Nov. 25, 2017. Pushpaben was born on Nov. 5 1934 in Uganda, Africa and studied in an English medium school and finished high school. She then married Chimanbhai Patel at 19 years old and settled in Uganda and then had her first two children, Vasudhaben and Dineshbhai. She then moved to India and had her last three children: Bhavnaben, Shobhanaben, and Rakeshbhai. She moved to America in 1990 and helped all her children become citizens of America. She always emphasized education to her children and her grandchildren. Pushpaben enjoyed helping her grandchildren in mathematics. She was always the first to help people around her until she started to get sick in 2007. Regardless of her health, she always maintained a smiling face and positive attitude. The company of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren would always bring light to her face and happiness. We are glad that she was able to spend her last few days amongst her family.
