It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Gian Kaur Dhillon. She passed away peacefully on December 28, 2021 at the age of 86.
Born in Bihala, Punjab India, Gian Kaur immigrated to Canada in 1960 with her son, Sukhdev, to be with her husband, Tara Singh. Despite starting from humble beginnings, they made Kamloops BC home, raising four children and providing a good life and upbringing for both their children and grandchildren. Gian Kaur and Tara Singh enjoyed 68 years of marriage, never leaving each other’s side till the end.
Gian Kaur will always be remembered for her loving smile, generous hospitality, and warm hugs. She had a profound joy of dancing at family celebrations and ensured everyone participated in the celebrations. She was always the life of the party. She was an amazing cook and was known for treating her family, friends and the local Punjabi community to her delicious treats and favorite dishes. Her achar was famous within the Kamloops community. She spent many Sunday’s volunteering at the Kamloops Sikh Temple, instilling the importance of faith and generosity to the rest of the family.
Gian Kaur was predeceased by her brothers, Jit Singh and Charan Singh; sisters, Naseeb Kaur, Swaran Kaur, and Jaswant Kaur; and granddaughter, Stephanie. She is survived by her loving husband, Tara Singh; sister, Bishen Kaur; children, Sukhdev (Narinder), Satpaul (Parminder), Sheila (Gurmej) and Kathy; grandchildren, Charleen (Melvin), Shauna (Harman), Pamela (Kasun), Brandon, Bryce, Jaspaul and Kacey; great grandchildren, Angeline and Dylan; and numerous other nieces, nephews and family members.
Although your absence is profound, we are happy you are finally at peace. We will always cherish the memories we have made and love and remember you always.
The family would like to thank all the amazing staff at Royal Inland Hospital, Interior Health and Interior HomeCare Solutions for their incredible support and care of Gian Kaur.
A Celebration of Gian Kaur’s life will be held on Thursday, January 6th at 11:00 a.m. in the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive. Following the cremation and service, prayers and a reception will be held at the Kamloops Sikh Temple, 700 Cambridge Crescent.
In lieu of flowers, if so desired, donations can be made to the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation, 4480 Oak Street, Vancouver, BC V6H 3V4 in memory of her granddaughter, Stephanie.
