Kamla Panchal
January 22, 1937 – February 21, 2025
Kamla Panchal was a remarkable woman who lived a life full of love, strength, and generosity. She was born and raised in Chhaibramu, India, before moving to the U.S. to build a future rooted in faith, family, and success. With incredible determination, she earned her MBA from Manhattan College and dedicated 15 years of service to MetLife.
Kamla had a deep love for God and found comfort and strength in her daily prayers. Her faith was unwavering, and she lived each day with kindness, gratitude, and a heart full of love for those around her. She had an extraordinary ability to make everyone feel special, always offering wisdom, encouragement, and warmth.
Above all, Kamla’s greatest joy in life was her family. She was a devoted and loving mother whose world revolved around her sons, Rajiv and Sanjiv. They were her pride and joy, and she showered them with unconditional love, support, and guidance throughout their lives. There was nothing she wouldn’t do for them, and she took immense pride in the men they became. Her love for them was boundless, and she cherished every moment she spent with them and their families.
She leaves behind her devoted husband, Rati R. Panchal; her loving sons, Rajiv Panchal (Julie) and Sanjiv Panchal (Archna); and her adored grandchildren, Asa Panchal, Maria Walker (Jadon and Jaxx Walker), Lexi Panchal, Anthony Panchal, Jaan Panchal, and Aniah Panchal. She also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews who will forever miss her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering love.
Kamla was a shining light in the lives of so many. Her kindness, strength, and love will never be forgotten. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, family, and joy, and while she will be deeply missed, her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
