DARSHAN KAUR PATEL

Darsh Bhanji you have gone bit too early. We will cherish our time together in Adelaide and Albany when I visit you. I wish I meet you bit earlier while we were married in to same family. We had lots of laughs and long talks on the phone quite often. I wish you didn't stop me coming over to Albany in June and too late you are not with us for Xmas. RIP till we meet again. You are with us in our heart.

She will be remembered very fondly and warmly by all of us. She always met with so much affection and love. May God bless her soul. Sending our thoughts and prayers

I am deeply saddened by the news of passing away of Darshan Kaur Patel, my maternal aunt and another gem I'm " Patel family". Darsho massi as I would call her, was a true warrier, who chose to live her life on her own terms and face all the challenges of life head-on with lots of grace and courage. Having lived most of her life in Australia, her character was strongly marked by strength, values, independence and lots of love that echoed through the lives of many who crossed her path. She may no longer be with us, but she will live forever in our hearts. My prayers to Great Guru Nanak for her next peaceful blessed journey. Love always Kanchan

Darsh, you were a good friend. Deepest sympathy to all the family. Your sudden departure was a shock. Sorry I couldn't be there to say goodbye.

Darsho' s demise is sad and painful. I recall when I met her for the first time about 60 years ago, she was a young girl- agile, smart with a smiling beautiful face. Later in life, she faced many ordeals of life with extreme courage, confidence and boldness. Her ancestors, who migrated from Pakistan in 1947, had a rich heritage, and were known for their benevolence, charitable works and contributions to social and religious affairs borh in India and Pakistan. Darsho preserved them and carried forward that legacy of her family across the seas. I believe at this age of 92 that God doesn't want anything from us, only expects that we should return the "soul" with the same purity as it was blessed to us at the time of our birth. I feel she belonged to the people of my faith. May Great Guru Nanak bless her soul and grant peace to the bereaved Patel family. AJIT SINGH DHAMI

Extremely sad to hear of this sad news. I travelled to Australia in the early 2000s with my best friend and stayed with my cousin, Tajinder Sahota. In our time there, I met my aunt’s sister (Darsh) and she was so welcoming and full of life. She embraced us and showed us so much love during our stay which I will always hold onto dearly. Years later we became friends over social media, and remained connected. As I had a family of my own, she displayed interest in my children and with them I have shared stories of what a kind and strong woman you were. You were a beautiful soul and I am lucky to have met you. May your soul rest in peace.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Sharon, Chris, and Jan for the incredible support and care you gave in organizing Darsh’s funeral. Your compassion, attention to detail, and ability to bring people together made a difficult day more bearable and truly meaningful. Thank you for standing by us, guiding us through everything, and helping us honor Darsh’s memory with dignity and love. We are forever grateful.With warm appreciation, Harjit and Aroop

We are deeply grateful to all our friends and loved ones who joined us to honor and remember Darsh. Your presence, kind words, and shared memories brought comfort during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you for standing with us, grieving with us, and helping us celebrate Darsh’s life. Your support means more than words can express.With heartfelt thanks,

My sincerest condolences to all your family and loved ones. Darsh, it was an honour to have known you. May you always Rest In Peace.

Dear Darcy,so many happy memories of our Sunday shifts up “on the Hill”at the Anzac Center..you were one in a million old mate…rest easy…Mike

Darsh❤️❤️ You’ve been more than family by marriage; you’ve been family by heart. Your kindness, strength, and unwavering support have touched our lives in countless ways. You brought laughter into our homes, wisdom into our conversations, and warmth into every gathering. Whether through quiet gestures or bold acts of love, you’ve always made those around you feel seen, heard, and cherished. You stood as a sister, a confidante, and a friend. Your light has made dark days brighter, and your presence has been a comfort beyond measure. Thank you for the love you gave so freely. You will always be remembered not just for what you did, but for who you were — a beautiful soul who made this world better just by being in it. With love always,Harjit and Aroop

In Loving Memory of Our Bhua Ji Strong, kind, and full of love. She brought joy, strength, and warmth to everyone around her. Her spirit will stay with us forever. Love You and Miss You Forever in our hearts. ️

Thank you Darsh for nearly 40 years of friendship. You'd come stay with Paul, Sam, Jack and myself in Perth on your way to visit family in India or on an overseas holiday. We camped annually in Albany for some 20 years. You'd join us for a meal at the camp site, then we'd come to yours for one of you delicious curries. So many fond memories. You will be sadly missed. Condolences to your family. RIP Darsh. Love Del, Sam and Jack.

Fond memories of working with and knowing you at the hospital Darsh.. RIP. Kaye.

I am so sorry to hear this. I worked alongside the gorgeous Darsh at Albany Hospital for years. It was so lovely to catch up for regular chats at Vinnies op shop since her retirement. I won't be able to make it on Friday, but Darsh and the family will be foremost in my thoughts. RIP beautiful lady. Much love and God Bless your family. Janice xxx

To the lovely Darsh - your energy and warmth will be missed by many of your friends 'up the hill' at the Forts. Condolences to Darsh's family and friends. Rest peacefully, Darsh.

Massi ji, I miss you so much. I’ll always cherish the wonderful time we spent together when I visited Albany in 2022. Those weeks were filled with so much joy and warmth, and I’m forever grateful for those memories. May God grant you eternal peace, and know that I will always remember you with love.

I miss you deeply, my beloved younger sister. You will forever live in our hearts and memories. As long as we live, we will remember you with love and sorrow. May God grant you eternal peace. We never imagined you would leave us so suddenly. There was still so much we wanted to say, so many moments we thought we had left. Your Saturday calls always brought me such joy those conversations lit up my week and filled my heart. It breaks us that we couldn’t speak to you one last time after you were injured. That pain will stay with us, but so will the love, laughter, and bond we shared. You are gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

Masi ji, without you, none of us would be where we are today. You were always there with love, support, and the best advice. We’re so lucky to have had you in our lives. May you rest in peace.

My sincerest condolences to family & friends. Memories of working with Darsh at the Albany Woollen Mills in the early nineteen eighties. RIP Darsh.

Darsh, The memories I have of your time at Vinnies will last a lifetime. You were an inspiration to everyone and will be missed by many. May you rest in peace. With love Nat. X

Please accept my sincere condolences . She lived a dignified and independent life, and her sudden departure is a reminder of how fragile life can be. May her memory be a blessing, may all who knew her find peace during this difficult time.

Darsh, you were a fiesty and funny lady who I had the honour of knowing for over 20 years. My sincere sympathy to Darsh's family in India and friends here in Australia and beyond.
