Saroj Rana
Saroj Rana, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on Sunday April 24, 2011, at the young age of 61 at her home in Richland. She is survived by her loving husband of 36 years, Raj Rana, her parents, Vidya Sagar and Raj Kumari, her two children, Richie and Sabrina, her son-in-law Omar Vaishnavi, her daughter-in-law Karen Rana, and her two infant grandchildren, Kaiden Vaishnavi and Annika Rana. While born and raised in India, Saroj lived the majority of her adult life in the Tri-Cities since 1976. She was a proud American and touched the lives of numerous members of our community.
She was the consummate host: she loved to cook elaborate Indian feasts and entertain guests at her home.She loved to travel, especially to New York City to see her daughter and to Los Angeles to see her son. Despite being diagnosed with advanced cancer, she was able to go on a Mediterranean cruise, an extended European tour, plus attend many weddings. Along with holding strong spiritual beliefs, she was a devout Hindu.
The family would like to especially thank all the physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and other staff at the Tri-City Cancer Center, Tri-City Hospice, Therapy Solutions, Kadlec Medical Center, Tri-City Laboratories, Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, and Kennewick General Hospital who all provided loving and excellent care to Saroj over the past 8 years.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her name to the Tri-Cities Cancer Center Foundation, 7350 W. Deschutes Ave., Bldg. A Kennewick, WA 99336

Richie, Sabrina, and Raj–I am so sorry you have lost your mom, wife, and grandma. You kids brought her so much joy, you know; she was awfully proud of you. I am sure she delighted in her new grandbabies as well. Life will not be the same without her, and you will miss her every day; but, you have many good memories to keep.
