Obituary

elevated SleTl Shervanthi Felicia Rajah 

elevated SleTl Occasionally, in life we are blessed to be in the presence a person who encompasses the virtues of courage, compassion, faith, love, and service to others.  It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Shervanthi Felicia Rajah after a long and incredibly courageous battle with cancer. Shervanthi passed away peacefully surrounded by her family and loved ones.

elevated SleTl Shervanthi will be deeply missed by her loving husband of 50 years, Godfrey Rajah, who was at her side through life and her sons who call her “Ammi” Shehan (wife Amee) and Jehan (wife Rea). She will be forever remembered by the lights of her life, her grandchildren who call her “Archie” Maya, Quintin, Jekai, Avery, Daishin and little Nahlin. Her beloved sisters Silvia, Delicia, Nilan and her nieces and nephews and all her extended family and friends who she served so graciously.

elevated SleTl Born in Colombo Sri Lanka to Richard and Sybil Abeyeskra on Feb 1st 1950, Shervanthi showed early courage and resilience leaving home traveling abroad and furthering her education. In the 1970’s she met and married her husband Godfrey. Shervanthi accomplished a great feat by working at the United Nations traveling Asia and obtaining a UN passport. In 1990 she once again started a new life with her family in Canada, and despite the early hardships, created a secure home and future for her sons enabling them attend and successfully graduate university. 

elevated SleTl Shervanthi was known for her kindness and giving spirit. The impact on her community was also profound as she was a tireless advocate for people less privileged and in need of help. She was a woman of faith and prayer who truly lived a life of Christianity and service to others.  Shervanthi was a source of guidance and advisor to her friends and family. Shervanthi had passion for singing which naturally lead to participation in the church choir for many years.  Her love of cooking made every family visit extra special. Her love and pride of her grandchildren was unwavering as they brought joy to her life.  

elevated SleTl Ammi you were the glue that kept our family together. We have been blessed by your example of faith, perseverance, and strength. We will honour your wishes by staying together and witnessing your fighting spirit in your grandchildren as they grow up. Thank you for loving us, know that we love you and will miss you with all our hearts. 

elevated SleTl “Be brave and steadfast, for you have no fear or dread of them, for it is the LORD, your God, who marches with you; he will never fail you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31

elevated SleTl Your thoughts and kindness are truly appreciated during this difficult time.
