Neelima Pillai Obituary (2007 - 2024)

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Neelima Manoj Pillai on March 13, 2024 at the age of 16 after a courageous battle with cancer. Neelima, born to parents Manoj and Dhanalekshmi Pillai on November 17, 2007, touched the lives of many with her remarkable kindness, unwavering positivity, and boundless love. She was truly an exceptional daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and friend to everyone who was lucky enough to have known her. Neelima enjoyed reading, watching anime, writing, singing, and spending time with her loved ones. At any moment, you would see her holding a book or typing away about the next big book idea she had. She was a big foodie and loved to try out new recipes. She was full of life and absolutely lit up every room she walked into. She embodied compassion, spreading warmth and joy wherever she went, leaving a lasting impact on all who crossed her path. Neelima is survived by her loving parents, Manoj and Lekshmi, and her sister, Devika.
