My Obituary

Survived by her fabulous family, friends, and fashion followers, Moneesha Muneet Kaur Gill moved on from her whimsical world at the extraordinary age of 104 ½ years. Where she is now, shall remain a mystery; however, one thing is for certain: her essence will linger in the heart of our wardrobes forever.

She was a quirky, easily-amused individual, full of exuberance and passion for every phase of her lengthy life. Her ambitiously driven personality landed her the role of playing a number of assorted characters throughout her life. Being the youngest of three children so close in age, she looked up to her sister and brother and considered them her best friends. Her father was a man of Punjabi descent and her mother: a beautiful mix of Italian and German ancestry. In her eyes, these two individuals held the world’s secrets in two fists behind their backs, offering a life full of endless paths and choices.

Since the days of her youth, Moneesha was always a family-oriented individual who dreamed of a future full-size household of her own. She married her gentleman suitor of 5 years and they spent the first chapter of their lives together traveling and experiencing the world’s cultures. During the next decade they were joined by 3 daughters and 2 sons, all of whom had multiple children and grandchildren. Her wish for a colossal family tree was finally fulfilled.

After accomplishing her college goals, she practiced her advertising degree in the form of Senior Visual Merchandiser for Betsey Johnson boutiques all over the country. After a couple years of experience, Moneesha was ready for graduate school: The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco, of course. But fashion was not the only thing that dazzled her senses; the thought of beauty, cosmetics, and making people feel good about themselves really drove her to becoming a certified cosmetologist. She was a successful business woman with her own line of color-intense cosmetics and down-to-earth, wearable runway fashion.

Although she never accepted retirement into her lifestyle, she slowly
revolutionized her prosperous and thriving business into a full-fledged charitable trust. The organization contributed to poverty-stricken individuals in countries all over the world. She held fund-raising fashion shows and auctioned off her latest designs to provide food, clothing, and shelter for struggling families of unfortunate events.

Moneesha was always a spunky woman saturated with compassion and love. Her fantastic life was lived to its fullest and she was ecstatic to have so many people take part in it. Thoughts of our dearest Moneesha will remain with us eternally and we shall all live in her lasting words: “Be the author of your own book.”
