With profound sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved Raj Kumari Sood, who left us peacefully on January 25, 2025, in Calgary, Alberta. Born on January 15, in Mombasa, Kenya, Raj was a devoted wife, mother, sister, and friend whose presence brought warmth and love to all who knew her.
Raj was predeceased by her loving husband, Arun, in 2019, as well as her parents, Om Prakash and Gargi Nayar, and her in-laws, Devinder and Krishena Sood.
She is survived by her devoted daughter, Preeti Sood, and her loving siblings: Aruna (Surender) Anand, Narinder (Anita) Nayar, Nirmal (Virender) Anand, Shashi (Mukesh) Pallan, Veena Nayar, and Geeta (Ashok) Kapoor. She is also lovingly remembered by her nieces, nephews, and extended family (friends and family alike), who will forever cherish her kindness, wisdom, and unconditional love.
Raj’s proudest accomplishment in life was her family. She loved deeply, and the bond she shared with her husband, Arun, was a love story for the ages. She adored her daughter, Preeti, and embraced life with unwavering dedication and selfless love. Fierce and kind in equal measure, Raj had a unique way of making everyone feel seen and valued. She treated others with the respect and dignity they deserved, always taking a genuine interest in their lives. Her wisdom, love, and unwavering presence impacted everyone she met, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts.
Raj’s love, strength, and kindness will live on in our hearts forever.

To the family known as Rano was my elder sister. She was strict compassionate and a loving soul. We will all miss her dearly. Wish I had spent a lot more time with her. Our deepest condolences to her daughter Preeti.
