Ammini T. Cherian, 78, of Hockessin, Delaware entered eternal life peacefully at her home on January 2, 2026.
She was born in Mannar, India to Mr. & Mrs. M.C Thomas, Kochumaliyil, the youngest of six children. Ammini studied nursing in Andhra Pradesh, India before coming to the United States. Being the hands and feet of Jesus, she had a long career in nursing before retiring from the Delaware State Hospital after 30 years where she was beloved by her coworkers and patients alike.
A devoted wife, she is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Abraham T. Cherian (Sunny). A loving mother, she is survived by her children Abraham T. Cherian, Jr. (Preethy) of Wilmington, Delaware and Amy Dowd (Kyle) of Fishers, Indiana. The role that she cherished above all was that of Ammachi to her three grandsons who were the apple of her eye, Jacob Dowd, Zachary Dowd, and Skaria Cherian.
Ammini will be remembered for her infectious smile, her gentle and sweet nature, her tenacity and strength and most importantly her incredible love for her family and friends. While we will miss her presence here with us, we take great comfort and feel great joy that she is in the arms of her savior, Jesus Christ.
Visitation and funeral service to celebrate her life will be held on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 at 10:00 am at Limestone Presbyterian Church, 3201 Limestone Road, Wilmington, Delaware.
For those who are unable to attend, the service will be live streamed via the link below:
