NALLANAYAGAM,
Bertha -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE,
Saturday,
July 30, 2005, Page M4
She caught the eye of Paul
NALLANAYAGAM and ruined his family's
plans for an arranged marriage. Leaving the other prospective
brides in her wake, she helped build a 51-year marriage.
Bertha Swarnam
NALLANAYAGAM knew how to blaze an independent-minded
trail. Before she died of cancer on July 15, after also suffering
from heart disease and diabetes, she specified that her body
be used for medical research. It is, her eldest daughter said,
something rarely done in Canada's Sri Lankan community.
"She felt that whatever she could do to help, she would do,"
said Nimmi
PITT, the oldest of three daughters the couple brought
from Colombo when they emigrated in 1972.
They came to Canada, Ms.
PITT said, because ethnic tensions were
rising in Sri Lanka and because her parents, both of whom were
university graduates, wanted to give their daughters the best
possible education prospects.
The couple were forced to take less prominent jobs than they'd
had in Sri Lanka -- she had been a private-school teacher and
he a senior administrator -- but they persevered, working increasingly
suitable jobs and making sure their children were educated.
The family found North York a pretty Waspy place when they arrived
curry powder was impossible to find and there were few other
Sri Lankans for the daughters to date.
In part because of this lack, their parents eventually accepted
the idea of the girls marrying outside their culture, which all
three ultimately did.
Ms. NALLANAYAGAM eventually returned to teaching, helping other
emigrés learn English. She was proud of the students, her daughter
said, and especially pleased with one who went on to get his
masters degree.
The couple moved to a co-op in the Bloor and Landsdowne area
as they aged, and it was there that Ms.
NALLANAYAGAM spent her
last years. At home until almost the end, she was hospitalized
for three days before dying peacefully. She was 79.
