Vijayalaxmi Rana peacefully passed away on the 5th April 2020 after a valiant ten-year-long battle with cancer.

She fell in love and married Himalaya Shumsher J.B.Rana, Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank, at the age of eighteen. When she married she was a mischievous prankster, loving practical jokes and giggling her famous dimples enhancing her beauty. She was often compared to Vaijanti Mala the fabulous Indian actress of the time.

As a devoted wife Vijayalaxmi sojourned in and traveled to many countries in the course of the peripatetic career of her husband who worked for the UN for twenty-four years .she was the tower of strength during her husband's difficult times.

As a loving mother, she devoted many years to raising two daughters and two sons and to motivate them to be conscientious human beings. Her grand and great-grandchildren fondly looked up to her as their dearest "Afu Mua".

Vijayalaxmi was a deeply compassionate person who helped and took care of her relatives, staff and friends as well as a menagerie of animals.

Vijayalaxmi's life and her deeds have been an inspiration to many.

We pray for eternal peace for a noble soul.
