Sheila Varghese better known to us cousins as Sheila Chechi.
To hear that chechi is no more was one of those deep freeze moments for me.
Life has its own share of highs and lows for each one of us. Chechi too has had hers. She has not just not waded through it but swam against the currents and did not give up till her two acorns grew into mighty oaks.
Her trust and faith in Jesus Christ was what which carried her through.
After the sudden demise of her husband,she was totally shattered but she put herself together for her two daughters.She was indeed blessed with very supportive parents and a bother and sister- in - law who stood by her like a rock and shield.
She was a great mother,a caring daughter and a loving sister to her brother.
I always admired the way she dressed and carried herself so gracefully.Her English pronunciation impeccable, with rich vocabulary is not which all English teachers can boast of.
I treasure all her visits to Bangalore right from the time I was a kid.
In that sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore.
Rest in peace ..chechi.

She wasn't amazing teacher with a cool attitude. She was strict, yet very engaging. We, her students, were recently remembering our time with some of the great teachers we have had. And she was one of them who pretty much everyone remembered and will always do.
Our deepest sympathy is with Susha, Nisha and the whole family. May God give you strength to go through this difficult time and ease pain. May Sheila Ma'am rest in peace.

Remember seeing Sheila ammama plenty of times in my childhood, as my parents ( Ivan and Baby/ Capt Philip & Mary, Chennai) visited appachen and ammachy at regular intervals.
Shiela ammam' dad & my maternal grandmother - Achamma
Joseph of Tiruvalla are cousins.
Sheila ammama has always been so pleasant and postive. Very recently she enjoyed joining us for a Bible meditation and reflection. Inspite of covid I felt we had met. I was shocked to learn of her home call. Eager to reunite on that golden shore ammama.See you there.
Grieving beside children and all your loved ones who are grappling with grief.

As someone who had the privilege of meeting with Sheila aunty only a handful of times, yet, leaving with a strong, indelible impression, I ...have to say it feels...hard.
I had the chance to spend a few days at aunty's residence, where I witnessed once again what a strong, quirky, yet loving person she is.
She had a slow, deliberate manner of speaking, carefully choosing her words and responses. Amidst all the turmoil I understand life had brought her, it amazed me too to see someone stand tall through it all. Undoubtedly, aunty's faith in our Lord carried her all the way.
To say it still feels too unreal, would be putting it mildly.
The heart is full and I do not know nor wish to conclude, but, still...
Missing you, aunty!!!
Stay cradled in Jesus' lap. Love you!!

It is like a fill-in-the-blank exercise we give a child. All the child has to do is to look for the word which fits in the context and fill it up.
But I am not a child nor do I go around 'filling blanks.' So how then am I going to fill this blank!
I tell myself to be logical, sensible, reasonable with the creator. None of us asked to be born nor did we have much say in our destiny, though we thought we had.
We did all the mortal things we were expected to do, in the name of duty, responsibility and the rest. We grew, we married, we procreated, raised our children, tried to be always there for them. It never struck us that someday we would become a blank that can never be filled. We become a picture on the wall, a memory in the transcience of the mind. It is unavoidable, this final full stop.
I cry in helplessness for my college friend. We were a gang of seven, often together, whiling away time on the stone benches of WCC. We cribbed, complained, cried, laughed, gave one another crazy gifts and squabbled too over silly things. We groaned over the three years we had to spend in the college hostel before graduation. Time is an illusionist and it flew. We got off the train of life at different stations and went our way. We lost touch with one another.
Magically enough, we came together a few years ago through FB. We met for a couple of superb vacations together and just like old times, we talked into the night, downing a peg or two. We google-met on a number of occasions and caught up with the goings-on in our lives. A wedding here, a surgery there, good times and bad times. We reminisced, we laughed, we pulled one another's legs. Whatever made us think good times will go on?
Reality has stopped us in our tracks. One out of seven is gone for good. Unbelievable and unacceptable. May she rest in peace. I bow my head in prayer, though there is a huge big lump I my throat and unshed tears in my eyes. God be with you, Shiela, wherever you are.
This message is from Sheila’s group of friends from her WCC college hostel days - Jyothi Seshan, Meena Sethu, Geetha Basappa , Rekha Karambayya , Annie Mathan and Meera Krishnan

Never, ever, even in my wildest of dreams, had I imagined that I would be writing this memoir on Ms. Sheila and it is an irreparable loss of a great friend of 3 decades.
My acquaintance with Ms. Sheila began about 30 years ago in the year 1992 at SBI, Guindy along with her dad. Since then, over a period of time, I have become one of her family members attending all of their family functions, except Ms. Nisha’s engagement, which though invited, I couldn’t attend since I was coming back from outstation only the next morning. I had even attended her late father’s anniversary prayer service a few years ago, to which she invited me to attend, and I was the only odd man out.
Over a period of time, we came to know each other and became great friends exchanging a variety of information about each other. I came to know that she lost her husband very early in life and had to support her two very young daughters. I still remember the day when Nisha, about 7 or 8 years old then, joined her from her mother-in-law in Kerala. Of course, her great parents stood behind her solidly in carrying out her task and rebuilding her life in upbringing the children and settle them in their lives which she did and came out with full marks & with flying colors. She also reciprocated the same by taking care of them in their old age till she left for US & finally abode. In fact, she told me she was in a dilemma whether to go US leaving her nonagenarian mother.
She was bold, beautiful, mentally strong, resilient, straightforward, forthright, even it was somewhat blunt at times, stating everything face to face, never behind one’s back and speaking with authority. She became more religious and pious in the last decade. Being an English teacher, she used to chide & mock at me in a friendly manner about some of my pronunciations, grammar and improper usage of words at the appropriate place. I also used to tell her jokingly that she was not my English teacher and I am not her student and we both used to laugh. On quite a few occasions, during our long hours of conversations, she used to laugh heartily & I used to appreciate her for the same. For that, she used to tell me, ‘I seldom laugh, Anantharaman’ and I could feel the tinge of sadness in her voice. She used to be jovial, humorous with me and some of her punning of words had blown me off. I had learnt a lot of English words and their proper pronunciations from her. In that way, she was a Teacher for me. But of course, we too had our share of misunderstandings and micro quarrels but we never allowed them to carry too far.
She was longing for her children to be with her in old age and I used to tell her not to worry for God is there to take care of everybody. Now, by God’s Grace, she had joined her daughter during her final moments.
In the year 2000, when I was not well, one day she took me to Velankanni Church at Besant Nagar, Chennai and lit physical candles praying for my physical wellbeing. Now after 22 years, I repay my debt by lighting a virtual candle for her ‘soul’s wellbeing’
I used to have ‘soft corner’ for her always but she ‘softly (in her sleep) left for the other world in the other ‘corner’ of this world in US.
A few years ago, she sent me a video clip of Mr. Suki Sivam where he narrated his own lifetime experiences of friendship. After going through the same, I replied that ‘I will be your greatest friend till your lifetime or my lifetime’. She was so happy beyond words. And I am happy thatI had kept up my promise till her lifetime.
I met her in person about 8 months ago when she was not well. I told her that I would pray for her and jokingly continued that it is ‘Pray’ and not ‘PREY’ to which she had a very hearty laugh & that was the last occasion I saw her.
She used to invite me for the Onam and Christmas every year & serve me with Payasam and Cakes respectively with all kindness and great hospitality. The taste of these might have lasted only for a few minutes but those memories will linger long till my lifetime. In 2021 also she invited me but somehow I couldn’t make it. I missed those occasions last year, also missed meeting her before she left for US, even though I promised to do so & now missing her forever. I spoke to her just a couple of days before to meet her but she was already in Ms. Shareen’s place to leave from there. On learning this, I told her that we could meet after her comeback. But alas! That was not to be. Even on her final lap, she taught me a lesson as a Teacher that it is not enough for me to keep up a promise but that I should do it ‘immediately’ as the situation may become topsy-turvy if we delay, as has happened now.
On 6th Jan 2022, she spoke to me regarding her financial matters to which I replied to her that we could look after the same after her comeback. But how sad, it was not to be. At that time, I never expected that I may have to deal with the same in her altered state.
Some years ago, on her request, we went to SBI Life Insurance Co’s Office at KK Nagar, Chennai regarding some queries she had about her SBI Life policy. In one of her conversations with the lady staff at the counter, she said, ‘If I die …’ but soon corrected herself and said. ‘When I die…’ At that point of time, I never knew that this ‘when’ would be ‘Now – 7th Feb. 2022’.
All along in her life, she faced a lot of challenges and continued her fight against all odds with a never-say-die spirit. At least now, I pray that she ‘rests in’ Jesus’s arms and ‘peace’ unto her.
I will always cherish her memories, till my lifetime.
Tearfully bidding adieu, Sheila!

We still can’t come to terms with the untimely passing away of Sheila. Our relationship with her has been through the marriage of her nephew Suresh to our daughter Suni. Ever since, Sheila has always been an integral part of our extended family and her presence will truly be missed in all our family gatherings.
Despite her many challenges in life, she has carried on faithfully to fulfill all her responsibilities as a loving mother and a caring daughter to her parents. She always promptly wished us on our birthdays and anniversaries and welcomed us warmly during our visits to St Thomas Mount. Our prayers for strength and comfort for Susha and Nisha at this very difficult time.
Sheila you fought the good fight and finished the race and have kept the faith. You will be missed.

There is so much to write about our Aunt Sheila mama! As her nephew and niece we were fortunate to have spent some quality time with her in Chennai and during her stay with us in Bangalore.
Sheila mama was a picture of elegance, impeccably dressed for every occasion & matched to perfection in her sartorial choices. She made it on time for all get togethers, even before the host arrived while checking whether the event was still on ;-) Pulling her leg was our favorite pastime & she always took it sportingly, with mighty comebacks at times ….
She persevered with adopting new technology tools, often with an extended learning curve. She is the only person we know who gifted hardcover books on special occasions, highlighting her love for the written word & pushing us into worthy literature. She had an adventurous spirit, gallivanting with her school mates for a safari in Kenya post her retirement. She was the Queen of Forwards, often spreading inane material far & wide, but we so looked forward to dishing it.
She was a gracious host, cooking up a variety of meals, irrespective of the time we landed up at her doorstep. She took great care of Ammachy, as her faculties weaned through the years. She was always interested in details with her loved ones, as a way of sharing our lives with us.
Her prompt early morning wake up calls to wish us on our birthdays/anniversaries and check on what’s the plan for the day, when we haven’t planned to leave the bed as yet, will truly be missed. Her phone calls had a pleasant routine to them.
Our long conversations with her always had our two bits of advice even on the most mundane issues, which she valued irrespective of our generational gap.
Always admired the way she weathered through the many storms in her life without any bitterness in her heart.
You went too early too soon, but you leave behind a treasure trove of memories and a void too large to fill for your loved ones. Your beatific smile & poise will always remain etched in our hearts.
Love
Suresh & Suni

Sheila ammamma as I called her was a favorite cousin not only of mine, but my 3 sisters and my parents as well. As a kid, I looked up to her....she was the sweet, fun, mischievous older cousin sister who dared me to light fire crackers in the Officers quarters in Chennai, the one who found humor in situations, who could lift your spirits up with a funny comment and who at the same time was deeply loving and always stayed in touch. She overcame much by sheer will power and yet always had a smile and a joyous outlook on life. Little did I realize when i spoke with her last week that it would be the last time...on this earth. She has crossed over and will always be remembered with love until we meet again....

Sheilamama is how I (her only nephew-in-law) have addressed her since 2003 when I became part of the family. We've had so many family get-togethers here in Chennai over the years be it for birthdays, anniversaries and festivals. Shielamama was almost always the first to arrive, the very picture of elegance and poise.
She was not one for wasting words and her English teaching background would have her clearly and firmly correct us family members for our incorrect usage.
I believe she considered me her tech guru to help fix minor issues with her gadgets. But she was always mindful to ensure that she was not disturbing me at work.
I think I held a special place in her heart because she would invariably give me a patient hearing to the most inane things that I said and would sportingly give a wan smile when she realized that I was pulling her leg.
I miss her with the many memories that are flooding me now. Our family get-togethers are not going to be the same without her.

My Aunt Sheila was one of a kind. Her teaching background gave her a stern appearance but she could be funny and playful too. She didn't talk much but when she did, there was no mincing of words.
Life threw one too many curve balls at her and I have often wondered where her resilience and fortitude came from...for I have never seen her in tears nor have I ever found her wallowing in her troubles. She put one foot in front of the other and carried on.
Showing affection openly was not her way. She would call me regularly just to check on me and every call would start with her characteristic sing-song "Hello Shareen..endo idukuva?" Perhaps that was her way showing love for me.
We went on some great family trips together and made some beautiful memories along the way. I will cherish her memories always.
Will miss you a lot Sheilammamma. Rest in peace.

Sheila, my only sibling, went away too suddenly leaving a vacuum in our lives and the family, leaving us numb. She led a life full of challenges, having lost her husband, in 1991 and the responsibility of having to bring up two small daughters. With God’ guidance she succeeded in settling the daughters. It was a blessing that despite many odds she was there for the birth of the third grandchild and spent some happy times with the daughter’s family.
She was a very family person. She was attached to both the parents, especially. Having settled in Chennai she was with them during their old age taking care of them.
She was a warm, kind and welcoming person, very religious and strong in her personality as moulded by circumstances in her life.
You fought the life well. All of us will cherish your warmth, love and presence.
As for me, when you were alive, I didn’t always miss you- but now I can’t stop missing you.

As we struggle to accept this sudden, shocking departure, we remember Sheila's life journey, thankfully.
She had a loving family as they supported her when her dear husband departed early in life. Her dad, my cousin, Babychayan and Ammamma, arranged for her to live next door in Chennai with the two daughters. She raised them well and had the opportunity to see them both well settled. She could see her third grandchild in December 2021. Yes, she had a full life and was happy and healthy till the last moment.
Sheila served society as a teacher at Kendriya Vidyalaya.
I am so sorry I couldn't see her although she came to New York in December.
Rest in Peace, Sheila. You ran your race faithfully and did everything well!
Our heartfelt condolences to Susha and Nisha and their families. And also to Suku and family!
