We Remember

SHAHI, Nasib

February 27, 1927 — October 25, 2022

The beautiful, amazing, and fierce Nasib Shahi, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family, on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, at the incredible age of 95. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Mohinder Shahi; her parents; 3 brothers; and 1 sisters. She is survived by her 3 sisters; her 4 children: Gurdev (Sewa) Bains, Kulbir Shahi, Satnam (Jatinder) Shahi, and Sukhbir (Gurmeet) Shahi; and 6 grandchildren, whom she adored: Nancy Bains (David George), Param Bains (Andrew Kinsella), Deepak Shahi, Amman Shahi, Surge Shahi, and Simi Shahi. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Liam George, Mila George, and Arlo Kinsella, who cherished her in return.

Nasib was born in Sandharan, Punjab, India in 1927. She was the eldest of 8 siblings, with whom she remained close. She married our beloved Papaji in the late 1940s. They built a beautiful life with their 4 children, and eventually moved to Kelowna, BC, Canada to join their eldest daughter in 1980. Nasib’s work ethic could not be matched. She worked hard until retirement age for the Casorso family in Kelowna, with whom she maintained a special connection. Nasib’s grandchildren were the light of her life, and her great-grandchildren were her most recent passion. She also adored all of her surrogate children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Nasib’s zest for life was infectious. She was witty, funny, and loyal to a fault. She loved effortlessly, and was adored in return by all who knew her. Nasib will be missed immensely. Her loss has been devastating, but we are so grateful to have had her lighting up our lives for as long as she did. She will be forever missed by her family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to KGH Foundation which was supported by Nasib.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
