Manjula Dinesh Patel, 78, of Attleboro, MA, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 16, 2021 at HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center in Providence, RI. She was the beloved wife of the late Dinesh C. Patel who died on April 29, 2020.
Manjulaben was born on November 17, 1942 in Nadiad, India. She was the daughter of the Late Vallavbhai Talsibhai Patel and the Late Shantaben Vallavbhai Patel. Manjulaben was raised and educated in India before moving with her husband to Nairobi, Kenya. On a mission to provide a better life and education for her children, Manjulaben along with her husband moved to the United States, setting off for the unknown and leaving a comfortable life behind. In 1994 her and her family landed first in Framingham, MA prior to calling Attleboro her new home in 1996, where they raised their three children and where she worked as an assembler at Texas Instruments in Attleboro before retiring.
Manjulaben was a woman of deep faith who was devoted to her family. She particularly cherished her grandchildren and always delighted in being in their company. She enjoyed socializing with friends and family and loved to cook for anyone and everyone. Manjulaben held dear her special recipe book which will now lovingly be passed down to her children and to following generations who will always think of her when preparing her favorite dishes. She was also known for her quick wit and jovial nature; she was very funny and had an infectious laugh, one that will be heard for years to come.
She was the loving mother of: Ulupi Patel and husband, Rajnikant, of Attleboro, MA; Punit Patel and wife, Reena, of Easton, MA; and Hemal Patel and wife, Apeksha, of Dallas, TX.  She was the beloved grandmother of five grandchildren: Harsh, Nidhi, Annika, Kaya and Niah. Manjulaben was the dear sister of the Late Ramanbhai V Patel (R.V. Patel), the Late Thakorbhai Patel, the Late Arvindbhai Patel, Bhartiben Patel (South Carolina) and Kalpanaben Patel (Rhode Island). Manjulaben leaves several nieces and nephews, her extended family, and many dear friends. She will be greatly missed.
