Indira Dayavathi Enjati
Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025.
She was born in Tenali, India to Luther Samuel Vunnava and Marthamma (Turaka) Vunnava.
Her journey in nursing began with her training in Rajumandry and Vellore, India. Patients and colleagues will remember her for her compassion, her gentle spirit, and her commitment to healing.
On May 13, 1974 she married the love of her life Carey William Enjati in Rajumandry, India. Shortly thereafter they relocated to Nuzvid, India to start a new chapter in their lives. Soon they welcomed their three children - Manju, Manoj (Bobby), and Meena. Their time working at Giffard Memorial Hospital were defining years as they forged many strong friendships that have lasted the rest of their lives.
In August 1987, Indira and her husband, with great courage, uprooted themselves, left everything they knew and loved behind and immigrated to Canada. Here they built a new life for their family and established themselves in Edmonton, AB. They became proud Canadian Citizens in June 1995. She maintained her connection to her Indian heritage and roots by passing down many cultural traditions, her delicious Indian cuisine and teaching her kids Telugu. She stayed in regular contact with many of her friends and family in India.
Her most cherished role was that of a loving, gentle, and patient mother and grandmother. She poured herself into her family, always prioritizing time together. Her home was a haven, a place where her children and grandchildren found solace, security, compassion, faith, joy, and the rare gift of freedom from judgment.
Becoming Amma was the fulfillment of her deepest purpose. She embraced it wholeheartedly, delighting in every birthday, school concert, sports game, and family gathering. She was always present, always cheering, always caring. Her joy was in being part of their lives in every moment, every milestone.
She consistently placed her family above herself. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and laughter, a light that will never fade, and continues through her grandchildren.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 51 years (Carey Enjati), her children Manju (Richard) Seeger, Manoj (Celina) Enjati, Meena (Jeff) Goalen; her grandchildren (Aushon and Mikaya Goalen, Naiomi and Sebastian Seeger, Emily and Audrey Young). She was predeceased by her parents (Samuel and Marthamma Vunnava).

Hi Bhavagaru I am deeply saddened by the demise of My dear loving sister, Indirakka. She was truely a loving,caring and concerned about her loved ones. I have experienced her love and concern to me after my husband, Nethala Venkata Rathnam passed away on July 23, 2020. After that she was in constant touch with me by WhatsApp message and phone calls encouraging me and comforting me and also helping me financially. She took time, even though she was not keeping well, to talk and comfort me when my daughter, Nethala Vivian (Mammu) passed away. That was my last conversation with akka. I couldn’t text her because I was over my loss.
I have no words to express my heartfelt condolences to Bhavagaru and children for their loss. We as believers in Christ, have the hope of meeting again on that Golden Morning when Christ comes for the second time.
Bhavagaru May God grant you and your family comfort and peace of mind. I will contact you after few days. Take care and be safe.
Sad to hear that Indiraacca is no more. Though we didnt meet for more than 40 years, still remembering her beautiful smile and loving nature. Our heartfelt Condolences to Anna, children and grandchildren.

Dear Carey and children,
Your mom was like a younger sister to me. We talked about many things in life. Except the last year or so we lost contact. It is painful to see she is no more with us. We pray that you find comfort in the Creator. We are sad now, but joy comes on the resurrection day when we get to see her again.
