Obituary
We are deeply saddened to announce the demise of our beloved mother, Mrs. Kamalamma Nair on August 9, 2019, in Laguna Hills, California. Wife of late Major V. T Nair, she is survived by her daughter Anitha, son Arun, and their families. A loving wife, an amazing mother, a caring mother-in-law and a dedicated teacher, she left an indelible impression with her kindness and selflessness.
A Presidential Teaching Award recipient, she was an inspiration to her students, and helped shape the lives and careers of many.
We will miss her dearly but she will continue to live in the hearts of those she loved and cherished.

Dear Arun and Anita,
You both were fortunate to have such amazing parents . Aunty and Uncle treated me not just as a friend but like their own child. I am devastated to lose both of them in couple of months. Aunty was a wonderful mother and an ideal companion to your father. When I met Aunty couple of months back she vividly remembered all the days I spent with her and uncle.I pray God to give you strength during this tough time. May her soul Rest In Peace.

Extremely shocked to hear this news. Nair madam was our biology teacher in k.v.Meenambakkam. She was very passionate about teaching and used to go out of the way to ensure each and every student does well. May her soul RIP.

Me too….Shocked to hear this news.
Nair mam will always be remembered by all of us as our favourite Biology teacher.
I still recall how anxious my class was to a get a “Good” or some times “V.Good” from Nair maam for the record book drawing(s).
May her soul RIP.

Nair Miss, one of our favourites. You didn’t have any partiality or anything of that sort for your son, who was one of our classmates. You were too liberal and loving each one of us as your child, and you shaking your legs while u sit keeps coming, RIP madam.

Nair Ma’am as she was respectfully and fondly called was a true embodiment of a mature, caring and a giving soul.
Her one understanding and affectionate look at you with that motherly magnetic smile was sure enough dose to calm all the monkey’s fickleness and effervescent mischieviousness of a adolescent student. I cannot recollect even a single student whom she might have treated strictly; such was her positivity that even when she disagreed and implored us otherwise… deep beneath we felt she has a point and the thought to revolt never occurred and rather always we mended our ways. And like a lamb we used to follow her and her instructions.
It was a time when corporal punishment was the norm of the day and I still remember the countless times Nair ma’am intervened to save the day. Her untiring faith and the ever positive words were (and till date are) the magical catalysts that made us the supremely confident self-believers.
She was a biology teacher but was a part of a circle of few other great teachers who were instrumental and constantly encouraged us to think beyond the obvious, differently, openly and without a shade of influence or made up mind. Later in the trials of life that we faced this very trait of being able to be open, to fail unabashedly, then to analyse, understand, to adapt and evolve is what has made us what we are today.
Like me many more will thank her for being a part of golden and memorable childhood. She will be remembered in so many reunions to come, in the stories that we will tell our children and to our grand children.
She is a part of so many of us and so thus has outlived death. Like her life, her death is a celebration in a way for a heavenly journey. And pray, request god that he takes care of her and bless her soul.
