Obituary of Rowtie Parasram
Please share a memory of Rowtie to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
It is with sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of the dear and loving Rowtie (Doreen) Parasram, daughter of the late Surju (Tata) Rambharose and late Subagee. After 17 months of battling pancreatic cancer, Rowtie peacefully passed away on Feb. 2, 2025 in the comfort of her own home surrounded by her family. She was just shy six weeks of what would’ve been her 78th birthday.
She will be deeply missed by her husband of 55 years, Ventesh (Ben), her children Nydia (Priya), Devi, and Nicholi, along with their respective spouses Travin, Jorn and Sharda, and grandchildren: Sachin, Asha, Maija, Dylan, Jiya, Mia, and Nathan. She was the sibling of the late Phulwa, Dan, Lucil, Pooran, Rampi, and the late Praim.
Originally from Best Village, West Coast Demerara, Guyana, Rowtie was truly the cornerstone of the Surju family, known for her overwhelming compassion and care for everyone. She will always be missed, but she will never be forgotten by all the lives she touched.
In lieu of flowers, the bereaved family encourages donations to the Princess Margaret Hospital’s Cricket to Conquer Cancer initiative: https://supportthepmcf.ca/ui/Cricket2CC25/p/NydiaKhargie
