Dear Family & Friends,

It is with profound grief and heavy hearts that we inform you of the untimely passing of our beloved Sachi Thanawala-Patel, wife of Aakash Patel and mother of Arnav & Veer on August 30, 2018.

She met with an unfortunate accident while walking to work from her home in Belmont (Boston), MA, USA, and was seriously injured. She put up a brave fight for 2 days but ultimately succumbed to her injuries.

Sachi was born in Ahmedabad, India and is the eldest of the three siblings; she lived in the USA since 2002. For anyone who knew Sachi, she lived her short life of 39 years wearing her heart on her sleeve, nurturing and giving every step of her way. An occupational therapist by profession, her life was dedicated to service.

She will be deeply missed by her friends and family alike. Her memories, thoughts and spirit will guide us all in our journey ahead.

She is survived by her loving husband Aakash, her two adorable sons Arnav and Veer, who are 8 and 4 years old respectively. Her other immediate family includes her parents Gaurang and Daksha Thanawala; her parents-in-laws Jayendra and Rita Patel; Sachi’s siblings Dwiti & Varun, and their respective spouses Sidarth and Nandini; and her brother-in-law Aalok and his wife, Sajni. She also had 2 nieces and 1 nephew who she loved like her own children, and countless other family members and close friends, whose lives will be much less bright in absence of Sachi.

We thank everyone for the outpouring of support and love. Please keep Sachi in your prayers and your hearts forever.

Relatives and friends are Respectfully invited to attend Funeral Services From the Mary Catherine Chapel of Brasco & Sons, 773 Moody St., Waltham, Wednesday, September 5, 2018 from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm. A Private Cremation Service will follow.
