Born in: Pune, India
Resided in: Alpharetta, Georgia

It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of Monika ‘Nimoo’ Keswani, who passed away on July 29, 2025. Monika was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She passed away peacefully in her sleep. She was always cheerful and laughing, lighting up every room with her contagious smile and bubbly personality. She deeply cherished her family and friends, making sure everybody around her was taken care of whether that meant feeding you your favorite food, telling you endless stories about her childhood in Malta, and spreading positivity with her infectious personality. She couldn’t resist a yummy treat, swimming in the sea, and taking photos with her loved ones to share with friends and family. Nimoo was also sincerely devoted to her faith as a devout Sai Baba follower and followed his teachings of “shraddha and saburi” whole heartedly.

She will be missed tremendously by her family and friends. Monika leaves behind her husband, Ramesh, her children, Tina, Ravi, Nitesh, Natasha, and her ‘fesudu, bablu’ grandson, Paarth. She will also be missed by her extended family and friends in Malta, London, United States, India, and all over the world.

Life is Fragile. Handle with Prayer.

Om Sai Ram.

    We only just met a few weeks ago, when you were here in Malta…. shared so many happy memories of our childhood days, going to Barakka, our Moms going swimming together and so much more!
    Can’t believe you are gone away so quickly – like they say, in a flash. You were a beautiful, bubbly, genuine and caring person…. laughing with happiness. God wanted You for his own to decorate his beautiful Heaven🌹 Will always cherish the lovely moments shared.
    Our heartfelt condolences to all the Keswani and Bharwani Families.

    Much Love
    Asha Caroline and Mario

  19. CandleImageIt’s hard to believe that Nimoo is gone. She wasn’t just someone we loved—she was a spark of joy, a burst of laughter, a light in every gathering. Nimoo didn’t just walk into a room; she filled it—with her energy, her jokes, her warmth. She had a way of making us laugh even on the worst days, and her spirit was simply contagious. It feels impossible that such a lively soul could be taken so suddenly. Our hearts go out to the Keswani and Bharwani families—this loss is immeasurable. Nimoo, you will always be missed, always remembered, and always loved. May you rest in peace, beautiful soul.

  20. CandleImageLove you Nim, was a great shock to hear the news that you are not here with us physically but spiritually you will always be there. Love to Dad who is with you now, till we meet again be our angels now looking over us.

    • CandleImageDear Aunty Nimoo,

      You were not only a wonderful soul but the mother of my dear friends, Tina and Ravi… I cannot deny the grief I felt for your own children… I am sure that you will always guide them, in whatever shape or form, on the righteous path… Om Shanti.

  21. CandleImageNimoo had the most incredible gift of lighting up every room she entered with her contagious smile and bubbly personality. She was always cheerful spreading joy wherever she went. Her heart was as big as her smile – she made sure everyone around her felt loved and cared for, whether that meant sharing endless stories about her childhood in Malta, or simply being the ray of sunshine we all needed.

    I still cherish those memories from our younger days at Floriana, the chats over the years – distance and time never mattered with Nimoo. Her warmth and love transcended everything..

    Rest in peace, dear Nimoo. Send your blessings to your beautiful family who adored you so deeply.

    Our deepest sympathy and love to the Keswani and Bharwani families during this difficult time. 🙏

    A true ray of sunshine who will forever remain in our hearts ☀️💖

  26. CandleImageAuntie Nimoo!!
    Can’t believe you’re gone 😭😭. The shocking news we weren’t expecting about your passing hit will remain in our minds. You left us speechless I am lucky to have enjoyed you with baby Ben before you were leaving back home few weeks ago and I am really happy I did. My mind can’t understand how you’re not here. It’s was and is still such a shock. I can’t believe it. We have soo many memories back in America when I was younger many years ago that I am fortunate to make with all the family. You were such a joyful person and always happy to see everyone and always thinking about everyone especially your precious bacchu Paarth. We always used to await eager for you to come to Malta during the summer and now we only have those memories stuck in our minds. Look out for us from there with nannu.
    Till we meet again.

    We love you aunty xxxx

  27. CandleImageOur dearest Nimoo you will be sorely missed by one and all.
    I have vivid memories of you as a six year old little cute girl playing around in barrakka gardens in your pretty frock and very nicely neat plaited braids like a doll. It was always so lovely to see you in Malta and have you with us at Satsung singing your favourite bhajan
    Om Sai Namo Namah. You will always be remembered by us all in Malta.
    Rest in peace dear Nimoo
    Deepest condolences to her husband Ramesh her children her grandson Keswani and Bharwani family

  28. CandleImageDear Ramesh & Keswani Family,
    Our hearts are heavy and our eyes are teary as we remember Monika with her smile and bubbly charm when she used to be around us.
    We are thankful to have reconnected with her during the recent family wedding and as usual she always was making sure we were all in good spirits and having fun.
    She will surely be missed by everyone.
    She is now watching over us like an angel would watch over her loved ones from above with her smile and blessings.
    May her soul rest in peace with the Almighty.
    Let us always remember her as she would want to be remembered with her contagious laughter and smile.
    Please accept our deepest condolences🙏
    Love & hugs from
    Mahesh, Reina, Karisma & Serena Daswani

  29. CandleImageSai Ram Monika, As you are moving away from all of us you have left sweet memories that touched everyone’s heart. I cherish you forever my friend.
    Rameshbhai , Tina and Ravi no words can describe the pain you all are going thru . My prayers with family . 🕉️🕉️SaiRam🙏

  30. CandleImageIt’s hard to put into words what it feels like to lose someone so vibrant, so full of life, and so deeply loved. Always smiling, always cheerful, and always ready with a kind word or a warm hug, my sister in law, Monika had a way of making everyone feel seen, heard, and cared for.
    Her laughter was contagious. Her spirit was bright. She brought so much joy wherever she went—whether it was a simple family gathering or a casual conversation, she had this incredible ability to lift your mood without even trying.
    She genuinely cared. You could feel it in the way she listened, the way she asked how you were doing and truly meant it. That kind of love is rare, and we were so lucky to have it in her.
    It’s difficult—impossible, really—to imagine our family without her. Her absence leaves a silence that feels too loud. But even in this pain, I hold on to the gift of having known her, and laughed with her.
    She will always be remembered, always be missed, and forever loved.

  31. Uncle Ramesh, Tina, Ravi, Nitesh, Natasha, Paarth & family – it’s with a heavy heart that I write this message. Aunty Monika was a wonderful person whose warmth, kindness, and laughter brought joy to everyone who knew her. She was the life of the party and brought a special presence to every room that she entered. I feel lucky that I got to spend time with her at Nirat & Shay’s wedding and at Ravi & Natasha’s wedding and share beautiful and happy memories together. I’m grateful that she got to meet Ilyana ❤️

    Family gatherings will never feel quite the same without her presence, the way she made everyone feel welcome, her sense of humor, her caring words. She was a light in all of our lives, and that light will be missed every single day.

    Please know that we are grieving with you and holding you close in our thoughts and prayers. Though she is no longer with us in person, her love and the memories she created will remain a part of the Keswani family forever.

    With love and our deepest sympathy,
    Sharan, Deepak & Ilyana

  32. CandleImageMonika was a friend who was genuine, warm and kind. She made everyone feel seen and loved. She was always smiling and lifting others up. Her spirit was a reminder that the smallest gestures can have the biggest impacts. I will carry her memory with me always.
    RIP… Om Sai Ram! 🙏💖🙏

  33. CandleImageBless Ramesh and the whole family.
    Lots of courage and good health.
    In this difficult and tragic time.
    Om Sai Ram

  34. CandleImageDearest Uncle Ramesh, Tina, Ravi, Nitesh, Natasha, Paarth & family,

    Aunty Monika came into our family when I was nearly eight years old, and from the very beginning, there was a spark between us—a bond of two Leos. Aunty always graced us with her beautiful smile, bubbly personality and a love of life that made every memory with her feel brighter.

    I’ll forever hold close the beautiful times we spent together over the years, especially celebrating Ravi and Natasha’s wedding, and more recently the quality time we shared at Nirat and Shay’s. She was radiant—full of laughter, joy, and love, just as always.

    Though she has been taken far too soon, her light remains with all of us. I thank her for the love she gave and for being such a special part of our family. She will always be remembered, always missed, and always loved.

    With love and our deepest condolences,
    Sonia, Situ, Shaan and Sohan

  35. CandleImageDear Keswani Family,

    Words cannot fully express the deep sorrow I carry within myself. Our beloved Monika left us far too soon, and her passing has created a profound void in your lives, as well as ours.

    For nearly two decades, we shared not only our joys and sorrows but also the everyday moments—meals, laughter, and the invaluable gift of friendship and companionship. Monika was, in every sense, my sister from another mother, as she always used to say. She was my mentor, my counselor, my friend, and a wonderful aunt to my children.

    She never missed a birthday—mine, our anniversary, the children’s, and even our dog’s. Her thoughtfulness knew no bounds. She brought light into every life she touched, a true ray of sunshine to all who knew her.

    Goodbye and farewell, my dearest soul sister. You will be loved, remembered, and missed forever.

    With deepest sympathy,
    Yours ever loving Sudanthi and Family.

  36. CandleImageWe are absolutely crushed by the sudden loss of our beloved Aunty Monika. It still doesn’t feel real. Her laughter, warmth, and joyful spirit filled every room and every heart she touched. Her bubbly personality and radiant smile will forever live on in our memories. Our deepest condolences to Uncle Ramesh, Tina, Ravi, and your beautiful families. We are holding you close in our hearts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. May her love continue to surround you always.

  37. Farewell dear sweet Nimoo. I will miss the love you showed me every time we met, you were an incredible personality. God bless you.
    Heartfelt condolences to your mum, Ramesh and all of your family
    Om Shanti

  38. May baba give the strength to Ramesh and family to bear this loss. May she rest in peace. Om Sairam 🕉

  39. Sorry to hear of the tragic loss in the family.
    My prayers and strength to all especially the Keswani family and Ramesh.
    My deepest sympathies.
    God Bless.
    Om Sai Ram.

  40. Our dearest sister Nimoo.Thank you for sharing your life with us with your love laughter warmth and care. You will be missed . Rest in peace at Guru Charan and watch over us all our angel now in Heaven. Your sisters Bella and Sandra.

  41. CandleImageIt’s hard to find words big enough to honor someone as special as Monica Auntie.

    From the moment we moved into the neighborhood in 2008, she welcomed us with open arms. At first, she was a wonderful neighbor, but before long, she became family. That was who she was—someone who drew you in with her warmth, her kindness, and her incredible ability to make everyone feel loved.

    I will always remember her big, beautiful smile and the way her laughter could fill a room. She had a way of making ordinary moments feel special—whether it was sharing stories from her rich life, showing up for our family remembrance ceremonies, or cooking the most delicious vegetarian pizzas you could ever imagine.

    When my wife and I were newly married, I returned from Sri Lanka, and Monica Auntie cooked us a beautiful meal to welcome my wife to the U.S. She cooked with so much love that day, and in many ways, that’s how I’ll always remember her—nurturing, joyful, and giving.

    Losing her leaves an emptiness that words can’t really fill. To me, she was more than a neighbor; she was my own aunt. I will carry her memory with me always and try to honor her by living as she did—with love, kindness, and an open heart.

  42. CandleImageDearest Uncle Ramesh, Tina, Ravi and family,

    We wish you all the strength and love in this world to get through this loss together. Please accept our sincerest condolences and prayers during this difficult time🙏 We hope that with time you find comfort and peace in the fact that Auntie Monika has touched the lives of so many, in so many ways. May her soul rest in peace.
    With love always, Anisha & Jan

  43. CandleImageI will truly miss our chats by the mailbox — those small moments always brightened my day. You were like family to me, and I always called you Aunty with respect and affection. I’ll never forget how eager and happy you were to make me pizza, always making sure I ate it fresh and warm because you believed that’s when it tasted best. Those thoughtful gestures meant so much, even if they seemed simple.

    Having you as a neighbor was a constant comfort growing up. You were always there, a familiar presence who brightened the cul-de-sac with your kindness and warmth. It’s hard to imagine coming home now without those little interactions — without stopping for a quick chat, a laugh, or your friendly smile by the mailbox. Those moments were more important to me than I realized until now.

    You were my parents’ neighbor, but having you around felt like having an extended family close by while I was growing up. Those familiar interactions were a comforting part of everyday life that I will deeply miss.

    Thank you for your kindness and care over the years. Your warmth touched my life in so many ways, and I will carry those memories with me always. I will miss you deeply and remember you fondly.

  44. CandleImagePls accept Our heartfelt condolences to Keswani family .may god bless all of you n give the strength to bare big loss .it was really pleasure to meet her . Going to miss her smiling face, 🙏 Om shanti 🙏

    Even though we did not meet recently but all the wishes you texted me for my recovery touched my heart
    Will miss you my friend ❤️

  46. CandleImageSincere condolences to all the family
    Albert and Dorothy Sant, Adrian, Christopher, Maria and Sarah Sant.

  47. I’m so grateful for Ms Keswani. Calling her warm and able to light up a room is an understatement. I’ll fondly remember all the many times over at the house or spending the night with Ravi. I appreciate her delicious meals, Klondike bar offers, and unmatched sweetness and kindness. A beautiful life well lived for everyone lucky enough to have known her.
