Obituary of Roopandai (Sandra) Ragoonanan
Please share a memory of Roopandai (Sandra) to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
On Sunday December 1st, 2024, our world changed forever as we lost our Mataji, our rock, our hero, our beautiful mother, Roopandai Ragoonanan (neé Mangal). She was born in 1949 as the youngest daughter of Prem Mangal and Samaria Mangal (both deceased) in Canal #2 Polder, Guyana.
Lovingly known to family, close friends and those whose souls she has touched as, Sandra or 'Aunty Baby'. She bravely came on her own from Guyana to Canada in 1971 in search of a better life. Anyone who knows her recognizes her ability to stay connected with people and being always willing to help or give guidance without hesitation.
After fighting valiantly over the past month, she unfortunately lost her second battle with cancer. Her pain and suffering is no more and we pray for everlasting peace to rest upon her kind and loving soul.
She is survived by her daughter Sabrina, her son Wayne, her grandson T.K along with her brothers, Madan 'Suresh' Mangal, Pagoo 'Ramesh' Mangal and her sister, Inderdai Mangal in Guyana. She is predeceased by her brothers Rupnarain Mangal, Debideen Mangal and her sisters Lillian Singh and Indar Rajkumar.
With humility, and love, we kindly invite you to attend her services if you are able.
A web link will be provided by the family for those who are unable to attend
We are encouraging our guests to wear or accent their garments with her favourite colour of "Fuchsia"
On the day of the funeral, we kindly request if you can wear white in alignment with our culture and customs.
But it is not mandatory.
