Dr. Bijoy Kundu

Dr. Bijoy L. Kundu, MD, of Bedford, NH, passed away on Friday, February 14, 2025, in New York City, surrounded by her children and daughter-in-law. She is survived by her daughter, Dr. Renita Kundu of New York; her son and daughter-in-law, Bijit and Allison Kundu of Massachusetts; her beloved grandchildren, Amara and Lila; and her sisters, Gayatri Kundu and Dipti Pal of India.

Originally from Kolkata, India, Dr. Kundu immigrated to London, England, in the late 1960s, where she completed her medical residency. She later moved to central New Hampshire, where she built a distinguished medical career. In 1974, she established her private practice at Catholic Medical Center, becoming the first female OB/GYN in the Manchester area. For over four decades, she provided compassionate care to countless patients, delivering babies, supporting families, and earning deep respect as a physician across generations.

Affectionately known as "Jolly" by friends, Dr. Kundu embraced life with warmth and joy. She cherished time with her family: spoiling her grandchildren, sharing meals with her children, and calling her sisters. She found happiness at Hampton Beach, had an infectious laugh, and was always ready to dance. Her legacy of kindness, dedication to caring for others, and unwavering love for her family will be forever cherished. She will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
