Fifty-three-year-old Sumittra Lairopi is being remembered by loved ones as a woman who was always able to bring out a smile in others, no matter their mood. 

Lairopi’s sister-in-law Vicky Pena said, “Believe me, I always get mad but when it comes to her, she just makes me laugh…I’m way older than her but I don’t know, we just get along.”

She flew in from Saipan to grieve with the family. 

“She's got a nice heart. Like I said, a nice person,” Pena shared. 

She joined loved ones at Our Lady of Peace Memorial in Yona on Tuesday where services were held for the slain Dededo mom. 

Relatives said their final goodbyes, as they remain stunned that Sumittra is no longer alive. 

Pena said, “When she passed away, I didn't believe it. I don’t sleep. I just picture everything I've been through with her, with us all the good times. That’s why I told her not going to be drinking together, no more dancing.”

As KUAM reported, Sumittra was shot during an armed robbery in front of the Thai Thai Healthy Cuisine restaurant in Tamuning on Valentine’s Day. 

She died in the hospital two days later.

To date, one man is facing murder charges in the killing. The police investigation is ongoing now two weeks later. 

Today, loved ones gathered around to give their final, tearful farewells. 

“A loving person, nice heart, she’s a loving person. She helps people when they’re in need, that’s one thing about her,” said Pena. 

Family friend Pete Tenorio also remembers Sumittra's caring nature.

He said, “She’s very nice. She would always come down to check us at lunch time and bring us something to eat. You know, she was so friendly.”

An outgoing person now gone too soon. While friends and family mourn and remember, they also want justice for Sumittra.

“The public, please stop these crimes and drugs and catch those people. If they don’t catch them or let them go, they’ll do it again. Honest to god, they’ll do it again...but look at her, she’s gone, she’s not supposed to be gone,” expressed Pena. 

Sumittra leaves behind her husband and three children.
