In memory of

Kareena Bakhsh

September 1, 1925 -  July 14, 2019


Celebrating the life of a loving & supportive mother, grandmother & great-grandmother who had faith in her Lord & stood by her family through thick and thin.

Karuna “Kirin” Rahim Bakhsh of Brampton (Lahore / Quetta), born September 01, 1925, aged 93, peacefully breathed her last at 7:40pm, Sunday July 14, surrounded by her family including great grandchildren.

Survivor of the devastating 1935 earthquake in Quetta, her home town, where over 30,000 people perished that night in a matter of one minute and a widow at age 39 with five minor children, all under 18 years of age, she battled life's challenges with dignity, grace & courage.

She will be missed dearly by her three of five surviving sons; Farooq (2013), Javaid (Jim), Irfan (Ike), Haroon (2013), and Imran (Lucky); their spouses Hazel nee Dean, Neelum nee Massey and Kimberly nee Engel, Noreen wife of Farooq (late); nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren; and her Northern Telecom colleagues of well over a decade.

She has been an inspiration to many, in more ways than one, Good bye and God bless you.

(She breathed her last surrounded by her family, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She went in peace, no IV needles, no oxygen masks, no surgery, and no pain, just peacefully breathed her last and floated away to be with the Lord).

A strong woman, a matriarch, a loving Mother, proud Grandmother, and Great Grandma. A wonderful sense of humour, Mama Baksh never let anything get in her way and was willing to try anything at least once. If she liked, she would have another go! Was so proud of her sons and their Families. Beautiful inside and out. Her smile and beauty will be missed.
