No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, Neeraja’s life was cut short, only God knows why!

Neeraja Venneti, of Dallas Texas, passed away unexpectedly on February 9th from complications due to a massive cardiac arrest. She was only 45 years old. Our family and friends are deeply saddened and shocked by Neeraja’s sudden demise. Neeraja was born in Hyderabad, India, lived in New Jersey after marriage and eventually moved to Frisco, Texas where a lot of her passions, interests and community involvement blossomed further.

Neeraja finished her Master’s degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University and became a consummate professional in the field of Data Science and Architecture. With over 20 years of experience in a myriad of industries including but not limited to finance, telecommunication, travel and insurance industries, she was passionate about everything Data, especially in the healthcare industry. She poured her heart and soul into helping her teams and clients with complex Data related issues for more than 2 decades.

Apart from her professional life, Neeraja supported numerous causes and initiatives that she was extremely passionate about. She was a certified Master Gardener, led zero-plastic initiatives as a sustainability advocate, and energy conservationist and supported multiple charities toward kids’ education and well-being. She was a mentor and a friend to many supporting healthy living and natural nutrition-based lifestyles. Frisco Style Magazine published an article in August 2018 titled "Sustaining a Green Frisco " where they featured Neeraja and her strides at creating an eco-friendly sustainable lifestyle.

Everyone who knew Neeraja knew how full of life she was. She was full of zeal and was highly motivated and driven, traits that were obvious to one and all no matter what level of interaction one had with Neeraja. Neeraja is survived by her husband Vikram, two kids Varnika and Nidhish, her two poodles Yuvi & Yodha and other friends & family.

Through your contributions to this fundraiser, we intend to support kids’ education, stroke survivors’ assistance, ayurvedic awareness, eco-friendly initiatives and charity for the elderly and homeless. While we miss Neeraja more than words can say, it is our family’s mission and vision to keep her spirit alive and to celebrate her life by continuing to support her initiatives and causes through a foundation.
