Miss Suares in her later years

Many of  her former students visited Miss Suares when they were in Bangalore. There is a blog by Nazneem Tonse “Cottons Girls” with several articles about such visits, looking back to our school days and especially to those memorable times with Miss Suares, whose mere presence demanded respect - in a good way. These stories, 10 of them, can be found HERE

In 2014 the Karnataka Amateur Athletes Association presented Miss Suares with a Lifetime Award for all her athletic and coaching achievements. The article in the Deccan Herald about the event (Sept 2014) informed that she was unable to attend due to lasting pain from a fractured hip.

Eventually, the KAAA officials made it her home and she was then presented with her award, a shawl and turban
