Tejpartap Ramnath's Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tejpartap Ramnath, known affectionately as Lala, who left us on March 31, 2025, at the age of 63. Born on July 20, 1961, in Berbice, Guyana, Lala was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.
Lala married his beloved wife, Drupatie Appiah (aka Shanta), on April 12, 1982, in Yakusari Black Bush Polder. Together, they built a life full of love, laughter, and cherished memories.
He dedicated much of his life to his career as a poultry farmer and was known for his passion and hard work. Outside of his work, Lala had a wide range of interests and hobbies. He loved spending time with his family and friends, enjoying music, and cooking delicious meals for those around him. He was incredibly handy, able to fix and build anything, from furniture to household items, and his creativity and skill were unmatched. Lala took great joy in sharing stories with his children and grandchildren, leaving a legacy of love and wisdom.
He will be deeply missed by his wife, Shanta; his daughters, Mona and Sonia; his sons-in-law, Steve and Raj; his grandchildren, Kiefer, Lena, and Priya; his brothers, Sankar, Arnold, and Green; and his sisters, Radica, Seeta, Dot, and Finey. Lala is also survived by many extended family members and friends who will miss his warm presence.
He was predeceased by his father, Nang; his mother, Magin; and his siblings, Rudolph, Mohan, Kishore, and Betty.
Lala's legacy will live on through his family, and his memory will be cherished forever in our hearts.
A viewing will be held on Sunday, April 6, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Hardesty Chapel, 202 Laws St., Bridgeville, DE 19933.
