After her family moved to India after partition of India into two countries, India and Pakistan, she mostly lived in Delhi, India before she emigrated to the United States in 1983 where she lived in California, including the cities of Fremont, San Francisco, Alameda, and San Ramon.
She got married in her teenage years and decided to devote her life to loving, nurturing and supporting her husband and children and grandchildren. She was a source of strength to her family during difficult times. Until the very end, she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She was also very religious and particularly enjoyed listening to devotional songs including bhajans and Gurbani and reading from Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
