Purwa Divyesh Shah

We are heartbroken to announce that Purwa Divyesh Shah, age 50, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 19, 2023 surrounded by her family in the comfort of her home, after a difficult battle with cancer. 

Purwa was born in Vapi, Gujarati India on February 20, 1973. She was the eldest daughter of Manharlal Virchand Shah and the Late Ranjanben Manharlal Shah. She was the sister of Chirag Manharlal Shah. She was the wife of Divyesh Gamanlal Shah and the mother of Shreeja Divyesh Shah.

A Service to mourn her passing and celebrate her life will be held on Wednesday, November 22 2023 at 10am at L. Harold Poole Funeral Service & Crematory, 944 Old Knight Road, Knightdale, NC 27545. The service will be live streamed and can be viewed by clicking the live stream link below. 

A daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother and a business owner, Purwa was a force to reckon with. She was always the life of the party and life was always about her. She brought so much fun and happiness to everyone with her wit, zesty personality and abundance of love. She was a hardworking person who balanced her responsibilities of being a doting mother and a loving wife. 

Though Purwa left us far too soon, her youthful exuberance and love for life will always be cherished by all and linger within our hearts. Join us to bid her farewell on her journey to the heavenly abode.

The family would like to thank the Duke University Hospital’s Oncology and Hospice Care teams as well as family and friends for their endless support during this difficult time.
