Bharati Seth

Bharati Subodh Seth, age 82, passed away on Friday, 14 April 2023, at home with her beloved family by her side.

Bharati was born in Ahmedabad, India and moved to Mumbai, India with her family at a young age.  She attended school and University in Mumbai and focused on creative and culinary endeavors.

In early 1974 she married Subodh Nandlal Seth in Ahmedabad where they started a family together.  In 1980 she, Subodh and their two children immigrated to the United States.  The family settled in Delaware in 1983 where Bharati became an integral part of a small but growing Indian community.  Her dedication as a homemaker and the joy of her children made her the happiest.  She was a devout Hindu and spent much time on her devotions.  Her other passions included art, music and cooking.  Above all else, Bharati welcomed everyone who entered her home with warmth and love. Her greatest joy came from her two grandchildren; with whom she spoke every day.

Bharati is survived by her husband Subodh, son Nirav, daughter-in-law Nicole, grandchildren Sejal and Simon, and daughter Naini.

    Bhartikaki was a loving aunt who was always curious to know about my daughter and adored her dearly. That warmth was mutual.

    Bhartimami was a person never to miss a birthday or anniversary. She was very fond of all the children of the family and talked to my children every day when they were little. Even the last time when we video called her 2 weeks back, she fondly talked about my children’s childhood anecdotes. She will be missed by all of us. May God give her peace and strength to the family to live without her. 🙏🏻

    I lived with Subodhmama and Bhartimami for significant part of my first year in USA. They were my anchor for support, love and affection and treated me nothing less than their own, and went completely out of their way to ensure my well being. They were my primary reason for settling down, for which I will forever remember this unconditional love and affection that was showered upon me. Bhartimami was truly an amazing human being. She would know all of the nitty gritty details of our children's growth trajectory, their likes and dislikes and would constantly look out to connect and catch up with them. We will miss her very frequent video calls that kept us connected while being far away. She will be truly missed dearly and I will be cherishing forever, all the fond memories of my stay with them. Please do accept my heartiest condolences. May God give the Seth family, the strength and courage during these very trying times.

    Our heartfelt condolences to the family. May god gives you enough strength to overcome this loss. I remember welcoming me in Brenham TX , when I first time came to USA in 1979. I started my journey in US from her house and she has always helped me to settle down in this country. I remember her delicious dishes with her utmost આગ્રહ . I lost my elder sister who was always inquiring about my health and well-being. We both enjoyed our childhood in India and adulthood in USA. She will be in our hearts for ever. She has left her fragrance all over. May god give her peace and comfort. Bhartiben, “ we all will miss you Rajesh Renuka/Chirag family and Purvi family. “

    Our sincerest condolences to you. Bharatiben was Neeta’s sister and always cared very much about us. We will always remember her cheerful nature and wonderful smile. She and us will routinely talk on weekly basis planning to go to Dwarakadish temple and Edison for Dosa. We always had good time in her company. Neeta stayed at Bharatiben’s house several times and both went for shopping. We will terribly miss her. Just a week ago, when we went to see her, Bharatiben nurse was visiting and she immediately said that both of you look like sisters. We can’t believe she is no more. She will always be in our prayers. Sethsaheb, Nirav and Naini and Nicole, Our thoughts are with you and may Shriji bava give you all the strength to bear this heavy loss. Om shanti. 🙏🙏
