Vishalakshamma Reddy

May 10, 1938 to January 7, 2025

On December 21, 2024 of Washington Twp. Age 86. Beloved wife of the late Keshava. Devoted mother of Vanaja Reddy, Shobha Reddy, Kalpana Reddy, and Chitra Reddy.

We miss you so much.  You are the most remarkable mother and person there ever was.  We want to take a moment to celebrate our mother and share how wonderful she is.  She took care of us four girls and our Dad with all her heart.  She never complained about anything and did everything for us.  She never stopped taking care of us even when we got older.  No one will ever know how unbreakable, unconditional, and unwavering her love was.  She has been there for all of us girls and our father everyday.  The mother that would attend classes with her daughter and care for her around the clock because she needed her there due to disabilities.  The mother that would travel back and forth to stay with her other daughter because she was suffering intensely with such horrific pain due to many debilitating illnesses while still managing everything else for everyone else.  Traveling with her daughters to her native country to only be put out but that didn’t stop her from doing what she had to with four daughters in tow.   She always did what she needed to no matter what the situation.   She always took care of her family.  Nursing back her husband from a stroke with three young daughters to take care of with no family and being in a foreign country.  Those are just some of the examples of how wonderful our mother is.  We could go on and on and we’d love to share more about our Mom, but there’s not enough space in the world to handle that much love and affection.

She’s the most amazing Mom and the most amazing wife.  She came from a village in India and graduated college and started a family in a foreign country, just to name a few of her many accomplishments.  She has made countless achievements and has always been the most humble person in every way.

We want the world to know how much she means to us and to recognize how kind and loving she is.  We love you with all our hearts and we hope Daddy and you are together and he’s able to give you all the love and hugs and kisses we want to but we can’t and celebrate how precious and special you are

🩷🩷🩷🩷 Love, Vanaja, Shobha, Kalpana, and Chitra.   We miss you so so much.   We are so proud to be your daughters.  We just want you both back.  Daddy take care of Mommy, we know you will.

Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy.

Please forgive me if my grammar is off or I don’t make sense at times.  I have been trying to find the right words to express my feelings.   I have written many different versions of what i want to say but it’s hard to encompass it all here. I will never be able to do them justice but i will keep trying everyday.

Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy 🩷🩷.   I love you both more than humanly possible.    Today marks 66 years that you two created our family.  Our parents’ love has spanned three continents, three countries, and six and a half decades.  Throughout the years you have created a foundation for our family that is built on kindness, compassion, respect, and above all, love.   You have showered us with an abundance of love.   We are forever grateful to you and there is no higher honor than being your child.   Thank you Mommy and Daddy for everything you have sacrificed and worked so hard for.

This is to honor our parents and also pay tribute to their lives.  They’re such amazing parents.  They have taken care of us all our lives and still continue to watch over and guide us even though we can’t see them, we feel their presence.   There is no deeper love than the love we share as a family.   And us girls will continue that love for each other and our parents.

They have stood by each other through the ups and downs of life.

They definitely could not be separated that is why once our Dad left us, our Mom followed.  Two and half weeks apart.   In the past few years we witnessed the deepest, most beautiful love there ever was that has been building up for years.  Our father tirelessly took care of our mother through her dementia, diabetes, and kidney disease.  He was the only one that could at times get her to eat, take her pills, walk her around, and just sat together just smiling at each other.   When our Mom couldn’t remember our names, she still showed us how much love she had for us.   She would laugh when we told her we were her daughters but her actions were just like they were all of our lives.  She hugged us, she told us she loved us, and she would blow us kisses when we were leaving.  The one person she never needed help with remembering was our Dad.  She looked at him with the biggest smile and so much love as he did right back at her.  Their connection in those moments was pure happiness and love.  Something out of a fairytale.  You could just see it in both of their faces how much love they have for each other.   That has spanned over all these decades and through all life has thrown at them.

They both came from villages in India, both graduated from college.  Both left their families and only had each other to lean on and support.  I know they both missed their families back home.  And the passing of their loved ones affected them greatly.  But through their resilience they raised four daughters and gave them so much love and provided for them, and taught them how valuable life and family is.  They took nothing for granted, they worked hard for everything.  They both did.  I remember my Dad saying he would be nothing without my Mom.  And that is so true.  They worked together and created our home full of love, our safe place.   Our parents were both strong willed and brave.   They both worked tirelessly everyday of their lives.  We can never capture through words what our parents meant to us and how extraordinary and loving they are.  But we will never stop showing the world how amazing these two souls are.

Thank you Mommy and Daddy for giving us girls the two most amazing parents and building this life for us where we have each other to live this life with side by side.  Thank you for the greatest gift, our family.

And PS, Daddy don’t worry about us we’ll take care of each other just like I promised you all those years ago.  I know how much you worried about us especially Kalpana and Shobha.  But we’ll take care of them.  I know how tired you and Mommy were.  Mommy and Daddy take care of each other and please stay with us forever and make sure our family is together always and forever in every lifetime and for eternity.

Always and forever our family🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️

Love always and forever,

Vanaja, Shobha, Kalpana, and Chitra
