Nurbanu Abdulrehman Premji Kanji

April 26, 1939 - August 30, 1998

Mtwara - Vancouver - Toronto

ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Friends:

For those whose lives were touched by my mother (especially those who attended the old Markham JK in the 70s, 1080 Finch Avenue East Baitul Khayal Hall, Willowdale JK in Toronto & Richmond JK in Vancouver), I wanted to let you know that she passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 30, 1998 at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.

Last November, she was diagnosed with a rare mixed cancer (MMMT). She responded well to the first round of Chemo and Radiation. However, the cancer was aggressive and returned within a few months. The second round of Chemo had no positive effect and hence Doctors expected that she had a short time left with us.

She was surrounded by prayers and family when she passed away. Her strength is supporting the family. Shukrin Allah. She is survived by her parents (Sherali & Jenna Bai Nagji of Orange County), husband (Abdulrehman Premji), children (Nagib Premji, Anar Adatia & Karim Premji), grandchildren (Shayne & Sabrina Premji, Aleem  & Fayaz Adatia), siblings (Pyarali Nagji of Bellingham, Amirali Nagji & Shaukat Natha of Alburquerque, Firoz Nagji of Edmonton, Shiraz Nagji of San Fernando Valley, & Yasmin Alibhai of Orange County and a lot of additional family and friends.

Funeral ceremonies were  held at Headquarter's JK in Toronto at 12:30 pm on Tuesday (September 1, 1998). Sumar and Jiraat were held at Willowdale JK. Batik was observed on Sunday and Monday at Willowdale JK.

Mawlana Hazar Imam Ruhani Ja Kul Gunah Maaf Kare, Nurani Deedar Nasib Kare, Aasalme Wasal Kare.

We pray that her soul rests in eternal peace.

Thank you and Ya Ali Madat.
