Dear Guha family, My sincerest condolences on Sangeeta's passing. She was a very kind hearted individual that lit up any room she walked into with her ever present smile. I was the Director of Groundwater Policy team when I first met Sangeeta in 2007 when I offered her a job as a hydrogeologist. She was a very competent and skilled individual. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone and everyone. She would often bring in home cooked treats and spices that I always enjoyed eating or cooking with when I got home. I remember once when she came out to a staff BBQ at my home and after all the other guests had left she stayed behind for a number of hours and talked about rocks to my three young children. She held them spellbound as she pulled one rock or fossil after another from their rock collections and explained to them what the rock type was, what the fossil was and answered a hundred other questions from three young children. She was truly a kind hearted soul and she will be missed by everyone that had the good fortune to have met her. May she rest in peace. David McKenna

Dear Guha family, I am so sorry for your loss. Sangeeta and I worked in the same building for a few years and I remember her as a very kind and gentle soul. I was the beneficiary of her generous gifts of delicious snacks more than once and I always enjoyed talking with her. May she be at rest and at peace.

Sangeeta was a caring colleague and friend whom I'll miss so much. She was such an amazing person to talk to. So many memories!! She would gave me lots of tips for gardening, seeds, event fresh vegetables from her garden. I still has two Clivia plants from her at my home and office. Few years ago, she game a an orange seedling. That seedling now became an indoor orange plant at our home. I am shocked and saddened by her sudden demise. Praying for her departed soul.

I got to know Sangeeta well when I moved to Oxbridge Place around 2012. Prior to that we met in various meetings we both attended. We can all agree she had a dazzling smile and a kind face. She was someone you could approach and have a nice conversation with. She was always willing to help. I recall her volunteering to help organize one of our bi-annual modelling workshops. I also recall the numerous occasions we would walk together by the legislature grounds during the lunch break. She would tell me what she was working on and how she loved her job. And of course, she would tell me about some issues she was grappling with, mostly job related. I was therefore saddened when I heard of her untimely passing. My condolences to her family in India and anywhere else. I wish them peace, comfort and understanding of what just happened. MHSRIP.

What a devastating news! Sangeeta and I worked closely since 2009. She was a very kind and generous person. She always loved it when it was “bring the kids to work day”, she would look after all the kids. She taught my son Indian songs (ré mama ré) that he still sings to this day. She shared with me healthy eating tips and her food was so delicious. The only delicious healthy food I know. A gifted artist seamlessly navigating between impressionism and realism. Most of all she always had a smile on her face. You’ll be dearly missed Sangeeta. My your soul rest in peace.

Sangeeta and I worked with the groundwater policy team from 2009-2011. As many have mentioned, Sangeeta was shy at times but she was very passionate about her work. Some of my memories of her personally was how she volunteered to give "Rock Talk" tours in downtown Edmonton (i believe through APEGA). The amazing food she brought for team lunches or during some of the celebrations when a member of the team had a big announcement. When her mother was visiting, they did a complete meal for the team and it may have been around the time she received her Professional Geologist certification. My favorite memory is when she explained that as her manager, her mother thought it was my responsibility to find her a husband in Canada. She said it jokingly and we both laughed. When I spoke with her after I left the team, she reminded me that I still had that responsibility. Wonderful sense of humour. You will be remembered Sangeeta.

I first met Sangeeta in 2007, when she was seconded to AGS to work on the Provincial Groundwater Inventory Project. She had a very nice smile and was very patient and kind... I think she was the nicest hydrogeologist I have ever met. She was the type of person you wished you had more opportunities to work with. Condolences to her family, friends and coworkers. We'll all miss her so much.

Sangeeta was such a caring and compassionate soul, and will be deeply missed by those who knew her. Taken away from this world much too early, she still had so much to offer. I always admired her eagerness to learn and experience new things, she was so brave and adventurous. Sangeeta took deep pride in her work and was an integral part of the groundwater community in Alberta and beyond. She helped launch the provincial groundwater mapping program, kept a check on the health of our aquifers and worked with jurisdictional neighbours to better understand and manage our shared resources. I look back on the past fifteen years, honoured to have shared so many wonderful experiences with such a beautiful person. Sangeeta, you will always be remembered and your amazing spirit shall live on.

I met Sangeeta when I first joined Alberta Environment in 2009. We have had many conversations together, including meeting at our homes, went together with her and mom for a trip to Jasper. Sangeeta is a creative person and her pencil drawings were showcased in an APEGA publication. She loved young kids and had bought a fireman costume with a hard hat for my son. She was a passionate gardener and shared her produce with me. Her harvested tomatoes were notably big. She was shy, timid and just told out loud what she thought, not meaning anyone harm and that was her way of expressing her feelings. She will be missed!

Sangeeta took a genuine interest in the personal lives of her work family, always asking about our families and interests. When she found out where I was from in northern Ontario, she had told me how she loved her experience working for a mine in Timmins and I told her I thought Timmins was a shithole! (but the surrounding area is nice). We shared a passion for gardening. Earlier when we first started working together, I would share the bounty from my garden and when she started growing her own, I shared my knowledge. She was always so appreciative and then she passed on her own bounty and knowledge to others. I will be thinking of Sangeeta when I plant my tomatoes in a few weeks. She will be missed.

Sangeeta and I joined Alberta Environment at the same time in 2007 and started our careers on the Provincial Groundwater Inventory Program. She was a friendly colleague and a master of GIS. We recently worked together on the Transboundary Groundwater project and I truly enjoyed collaborating with her. Beyond work, Sangeeta was passionate about cooking, art, and gardening. She would share the produce from her garden every summer and provide me with helpful gardening tips. Her absence will be felt forever and I will cherish the memories of our time working together and her kindness outside of work. My deepest condolences go out to her family and friends during this difficult time. May her soul rest in peace.

Sangeeta was my graduate student during 2006-2007 while she was completing her master's degree in GIS in Calgary. She already had a PhD degree in geology, but she wanted to broaden her knowledge and skills in environmental application of geology. For her project, she developed creative methods to delineate small depressions (or sloughs) in the West Nose Creek watershed using satellite images. Her work was of outstanding quality and helped us initiate a major research project on groundwater, which continues to this day. We became close friends after her graduation, and I enjoyed seeing her whenever I was in Edmonton. She was an incredibly warm and kind soul with a great sense of humour. My favourite story is when she went to see her mother in India after graduation (she had not been back home for several years). Her mother brought her to a family doctor, who had looked after Sangeeta since childhood. The doctor asked her mother: where is your daughter? Apparently, Sangeeta had gained so much weight in Canada that the doctor did not even recognise her! She told me the story in such a funny way that I cried from laughing so hard. I got to see her mother a few years later when she came to Edmonton and stayed at Sangeeta's newly acquired house for several months. She prepared an amazing Indian dinner and taught me how to use my hand to eat the foods. Sangeeta was a talented artist and produced many great pieces of drawing. Her art work was of such a great quality that they were displayed at APEGA award ceremony in 2012. Aside from her art work, another passion was gardening. She took great care to grow vegetables in her backyard garden. She gave me her tomatoes one day, and they were so delicious! Sangeeta, I will miss your smile and kind heart. Rest in peace.

I first had the pleasure of working with Sangeeta in Calgary when she became a field assistant in our hydrology group. She and I spent days together monitoring groundwater wells, hot springs, and creeks. She braved bad weather, rogue farm animals, and perilous paths with a nervous smile but her mastery showed when it came to analysing the data we collected over time. I remember how excited she was to invite me for dinner when she discovered I loved all the spices of her home. Although we only recently got to work together closely again, we always stayed in touch now and again, and she was always eager to hear what I was up to with her warm smile. Sangeeta was such a special soul who was eager to lend a hand and contribute in whatever way she could, and so grateful for any opportunity to continue to grow and learn from others. She was a valuable team member with the kindest of hearts. You are already so missed, Sangeeta... Jaclyn.

Sangeeta joined the Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) groundwater team in 2007 at the onset of the Edmonton-Calgary Corridor Groundwater Atlas project between Alberta Environment and AGS. We met in 2010 and worked together for approximately 3 years. During this time, I was fortunate to experience Sangeeta's generosity, kindness, and diligent work ethic. She was always eager and prepared to contribute to groundwater science. These personal attributes made her an excellent team member, colleague, and friend with everyone she worked with at AGS. Many years later, I met Sangeeta at an APEGA event and was amazed that she was an accomplished artist too. I was delighted to have her explain the artwork and saw her creativity and passion. I offer my deep sympathy to Sangeeta's family, friends, and dear co-workers at Environment. I am saddened by this loss in our community.
