Adieu, Zarina, RIP

Always a smile and a helping hand sums up the life of the late Dr Annie Zerina Austin

Aunty loved life and lived each day to its fullest. She always danced on her own was fondly remembering saying, “Us ghar mein hum ne bahut enjoy kiya, khoob entertaining ki!” (In that home we enjoyed ourselves and entertained a lot!)”

As we sat inside the Hornsby Baptist Church and joined the Thanksgiving Service for the life of Dr Annie Zerina Austin, I could see her family and friends remembering their own relationship with her.

And Becky was right, that is how Zarina met everyone, always with a smile or with a helping hand. She was always witty and ever eager to watch cricket.

Shiva revealed her secret as he read, “Yes! She loved Sachin Tendulkar!” She also loved watching movies, reading books and listening to music. She was also quite an artist.

Reverend Ricky Su also paid tribute to Zarina’s dedication to the church and her steadfast many of us who came here to Australia later in life, she was very independent, had many talents and was well respected in different groups in the community.

Pahele zyada aate the, par ab bhi aate hai” (Many times, more in the beginning but even now he comes in my dreams).

If there is one consolation as we all face this loss, it is in this, that Zarina is united with the three people she loved so much and she will be missed by those she has left behind.

To borrow Shalini’s words, “Zerrine, we will always remember

Zerrine, we will always remember your lovely and generous spirit, you leave behind some wonderful memories your lovely and generous spirit –you leave behind some wonderful memories. May you sleep peacefully in the arms of Jesus”. The cortege took Zarina to Castlebrook Memorial Park in Rouse Hill, where she was laid to rest. Go Aunty Zarina, knowing that you leave behind a world richer for having known you.
