GOA AND DIASPORA OBITUARIES ------------------------------ YVETTE RODRICKS (88) of RATLAM:
According to Louise and Neville Rodricks, this information came in via Stanley at Ratlam. Yvette was 88 and was visiting her daughter Eureka Mascarenhas (married to Desmond) in Bombay. She developed chest pains, and was taken to a hospital where she was in the ICU for three days with lung and kidney problems. She got back to a regular room, and told Stanley that she wanted to go back to Ratlam, so he went back to arrange things. However when he got home, he sadly got the call that his mother had passed away. Ratlam, known historically as Ratnapuri (lit. gem city), is a city in the northwestern part of the Malwa region in today's Madhya Pradesh state of central India. The city of Ratlam is the administrative headquarters of Ratlam district, which was created in 1947 after the independence of India. Founded by Captain Borthwick in 1829, Ratlam was one of the first commercial cities established in Central India. The city quickly became known for trading in opium, tobacco, and salt, as well as for its bargains called Sattas. Before the opening of the Rajputana State Railway to Khandwa in 1872, there was no better place to trade than in Ratlam. The city is known for its love of food, its taste particularly the world popular salty snack 'Ratlami Sev'. It is also known for its pure gold and saree market. [Info courtesy: Wikipedia] The funeral was scheduled at St Anne's Church in Ratlam, on Saturday. Stanley and Jenny are the parents of Isabella (16) and Ronaldo (10).
