Lisha was born on May 1, 1968 at the Holy Cross Nursing Home in Pretoria and called to rest on September 23, 2021 at EACH Hospice in Eersterust. 

Alicia “Lisha” Anneticia Singh was a loving daughter, wife, sister, mother, grandmother, cousin, sister-in-law, aunt and friend. 

She spent some of her early years growing up in Location “Marabastad” and attended the Indian Girls School there. Lisha, together with her family, relocated to Laudium in 1976 where she spent the remainder of her childhood years completing school at Laudium Secondary and where she spent her early adult years. 

In 1991, Lisha gave birth to her eldest son, Melano and in 1993 her son Delano was born. In 2005, her beautiful daughter, Aden was born. 

Lisha’s children always remained her pride and joy. Lisha enjoyed spending her time in the kitchen, where she prepared the most delicious meals. 

She was not only a strong, independent woman, but also a loving, kind and hardworking mom dedicated to her children. Lisha was a beautiful person, both inside and out and the simplest pleasures in life always brought great joy to her. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.

 Poem 

“When tomorrow starts without me And I’m not here to see. If the sun should rise and find your eyes. Are filled with tears for me 

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry. The way you did today. While thinking of many things. We didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me. As much as I love you 

And each time you think of me. I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me. Please try to understand 

That an angel came and called me my name And took me by the hand. And said my place was ready In Heaven far above

And that I’d have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heaven’s gate I felt so much at home 

When God looked down and smiled at me from His great golden throne 

He said this is eternity And all I promised you

Today your life on earth is past But here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow for today For today will always last 

And since each day’s the same way there’s no longing for the past. So when tomorrow starts without me don’t think we’re far apart 

For every time you think of me I’m right here in your heart.”
