Savita Kumari Tatia

Savita Kumari Tatia, a beloved homemaker and cherished matriarch, departed this world on January 1, 2026, at the age of 97. Born in Kolkata, India, on May 1, 1928, Savita's life was a tapestry woven with love, resilience, and the spirit of family.

A devoted mother, Savita is survived by her daughter, Vishakha Banthia, three grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren, each of whom carry the legacy of her nurturing heart. It is through them that her warmth and wisdom will continue to flourish.

Savita’s early years were shaped by her parents, Peasant and Mina Bachhawat, who instilled in her the values of compassion and hard work. These virtues guided her throughout her life and were evident in every corner of her home, where she dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her family. She found fulfillment in the everyday moments – cooking, caring, and creating a haven for her loved ones.

While she spent her later years in Carmel, Indiana, her roots in Kolkata remained a cherished part of her identity, influencing her traditions and the vibrant spirit she shared with those around her. Savita’s life journey was a remarkable tapestry of cultural richness, love, and cherished memories.

As we celebrate her life, we reflect on the countless stories she shared, the laughter she inspired, and the unconditional love she offered.

A Prayer Service will be held in her honor on January 2, 2026, at 1 PM, at Aaron-Ruben-Nelson Mortuary in Carmel, Indiana. Family and friends are invited to gather and pay tribute to a woman whose legacy of love will continue to illuminate the lives of those she touched.
