It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mala S. Kavde on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
Born in Nagpur, India on March 16, 1942 to Sri Ganpatrao Vyankatrao Naik and Satyabhama Naik, she spent her childhood surrounded by a large, loving extended family that she maintained close connections to over her lifetime. After completing college, she married Shashikant Kavde on May 24, 1964 and had 61 wonderful years together with a life rooted in respect, laughter and love . She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother known for her warmth, kindness, compassion and wisdom.
She served as an anchor for a large extended family spread out over many countries, always ready to provide a compassionate ear to all. She lived in many places and made friends with ease. Throughout life, she had the opportunity to travel extensively around the world and had visited all 50 states in the US. She found happniess in simple pleasures - knitting with care, cooking with love and staying engaged in all world events, and above all spending meaningful time with family and friends.
Mala is survived by her devoted husband, Shashikant; loving son Uday and daughter-in-law Pratima; adoring grandchildren Karishma, Arjun and Dylan.
