Skanti “Shani” Gill, age 87, passed away on September 17, 2021, in her home.
She was born September 16, 1934, in Malawi, Africa to the late Man Singh and Jiwan Dai (Uppal) Duggal.
She will be remembered by her family as a true angel. She began her career as a midwife and was later a registered nurse with Borgess hospital for 26 years, working with adolescents. She cared deeply for all the children she supported over the years through her work and contributions to international organizations, as well as those suffering from leprosy. The life she lived is represented in her name, in Sanskrit meaning, “the beautiful sheen of a woman’s child.”
