Neela Paige Obituary

Neela's smile and laughter lit up UVic Law. She was a wonderfully kind and empathetic person and a fabulous admissions officer. You will be so missed!! My sympathies to Neela's family and legion of friends.

Her beautiful smile would always light up the Frazer Building, and it lives on in our memories of her. Rest in peace.

I feel grateful to have known and worked with Neela; she approached her time at the admissions office with both responsibility and joy; and it resonated. She and Janet were forces of nature. Love to all her family and friends.

Neela made me feel very welcome when I first started working in the UVic Law Building and I often heard laughter and fun emanating from her part of the office. I am grateful to have walked with her in friendship over these past almost 30 years.
It is with great sadness that learned of your passing Neela. I miss you, dear friend.

Neela was a wonderfully warm and capable person who encouraged and enabled hundreds of applicants to come to UVic Law. Indeed, both as a professor and as dean, I regularly heard from students that it was Neela who persuaded them to choose UVic over other law schools. She will indeed be remembered fondly and missed by many!

Neela, was like a lively little sprite. I will always remember her infectious laugh and the way she wore her fashionable tams. Rest in peace, my friend

Neela, I will miss your fun loving spirit
You were always fun to be with.

I knew Neely from our time at UVic. The thing I remember most is her kindness and bubbly personality. Neely made UVic a better place. My condolences to her family and friends.

I became friends with Neela while she worked in Admissions at UVic and I was over in Records, so we go back many years. She was such an "up" and "bubbly" person.
A group of "The Girls" from work took turns hosting dinner parties and Neela´s always had that special touch of elegance she instinctively created.
Neela had a wonderful sense of fashion and I will always think of her when I hear the song "Raspberry Beret", as she managed to have just the right tilt on her beret.
In her more recent years, she loved to talk about her daily walks along the oceanfront where she enjoyed taking photographs.
Rest in peace Neela.

My Dear Friend since 1972. We shared so many fabulous, fun adventures and created wonderful memories... I wish we could have many more. Rest peacefully, Sweetie.
