We Remember
DHALIWAL, Gurdev Kaur
June 19, 1932 — May 23, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beautiful Bibiji, Gurdev Kaur Dhaliwal. Born on June 19, 1932, in her ancestral village of Boparai, Punjab, Bibiji spent her childhood surrounded by the love of her mother, father, brothers, and sisters. Though sudden and unexpected, Bibiji passed away peacefully on May 23, 2025, in the presence of some of the most important people in her life.
Bibiji spent most of her life loving and standing beside her devoted husband, Harbhajan Singh. Over their 77 years of marriage, he lovingly called her Partaap Kaur. Their bond was unshakable—strong, consistent, and full of joy. His passing earlier this year left a void in her heart, one she never fully expressed but quietly carried. Still, she remained resilient, continuing forward with grace and strength, especially for her grandchildren, whom she adored deeply.
Bibiji’s love could be felt in every corner of our home—in her warm meals, countless cups of chai, and her unforgettable hugs. She showed us the true meaning of family and unconditional love. Our home was always open under her care – filled with laughter, old stories, and moments that will forever be cherished. Her generosity knew no bounds, and her presence brought comfort and joy to all who entered.
She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, strength, and unwavering love. Her memory will forever be held in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Bibiji, you were a mother to us. Our entire home and lives revolved around you. We hope to make you proud and carry your legacy forward for generations to come.
