Bissoondei Sampat, a woman of quiet strength and radiant grace, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2025, at the age of 81, after a courageous journey through breast cancer. Born on May 23, 1944, in Miss Phoebe Port Mourant, Guyana, she was the beloved daughter of Jaimangal and Jhaleria Surujbali. Her life was a tapestry woven with love, resilience, and devotion.

In every role she embraced—wife, mother, grandmother, friend—she gave fully, with a heart that never wavered. Her love was a quiet force, steady and deep, shaping the lives of those around her.

Bissoondei was deeply committed to her family and leaves behind her devoted husband of 59 years, Seepersaud; her children Orlando (Nina), Shermela, and Samuel; and her treasured grandsons, Vaden and Tejas.
