<div itemprop="description">Narinder (Nini) K. Singh (nee Gill) <br> <br>It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful mother, grandmother <br>and great grandmother on Feb 21, 2023 at the age of 89. She is pre-deceased by her husband <br>Kartar and daughter Rishma; survived by her loving children Amrita and Sonia and her <br>grandchildren Cara, Rachel, Celina and Darius as well as her great-grandchildren Mara and <br>Cole. <br>Nini immigrated to Canada with her husband Kartar and daughter Rishma in 1958 from India <br>and embraced her new home. She brought her past experience as a teacher in India to her <br>new life in Canada and volunteered in the educational system with special needs children. In <br>1975 she started a new career as a librarian with the Beaconsfield Library and had the creativity <br>to start the first India tea in 1991 to help the public understand more about the South Asian <br>culture that she came from. These teas became a popular annual West Island event for 25 <br>years that people looked forward to each year. <br>Nini had a love of art and enjoyed sharing her knowledge with others as a volunteer at the <br>Stewart Hall Art gallery in Pointe-Claire. She was a longstanding member of the Montreal <br>University Women's Club and over the many years of membership, participated actively in <br>various activities including the book club, travel group and the investment banking group. She <br>always had a book by her side and enjoyed sharing her many life stories with others. She could <br>talk to you about any topic, she was so well read. Full of laughter and smiles, Nini was a friend <br>to many and a support to those in need. <br>Our mom, grandmother and great-grandmother will be dearly missed by all those whose lives <br>she touched. A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the <br>Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or the Canadian Cancer Society would be welcomed.</div>
