Wadhwa, Usha Rani passed away on August 26, 2024, at age 73, following a brief illness. Loving wife of Yash Pal for 52 years. Cherished mother of Ajay and Ravi (Aekta). Beloved daughter of the late Chander Bhan Chugh and the late Devki Rani Chugh of Alwar, India. Sister of the late Sohan Lal Chugh, Yograj Chugh, the late Prem Malik, and Sweety Popli. Also loved by brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, cousins, and many friends and colleagues.
Born in Alwar/Rajasthan, India, Usha earned her bachelor’s degree in political science in Alwar. She arrived in the USA (Rochester, NY) following her marriage to Yash in India. Usha lived in Rochester until 1979 before moving to her long-term home of Milwaukee, WI. She was a proud immigrant and became a US citizen in 1989. Usha’s career took her through various roles in schools, retail, and banking.
Her greatest joy came from generously hosting many family members and friends at her home in Glendale, WI. She enjoyed cooking, shopping, and traveling to new places. Usha always made sure everything she did came back to her true passion for her husband, children, extended family, and friends.
“SHE WILL BE LOVED AND CHERISHED IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER.”
