Kareena Neela Baijoo

Born March 4, 2007 — Passed Away May 2, 2026

Kareena Neela Baijoo was the adored daughter of Sita and Vedanand (Petty) Baijoo, precious younger sister of Navin and Kiraan Baijoo, and a cherished sister-in-law to Kimberly. She was perfect in every way one could describe. On her paternal side, she was the youngest of thirteen grandchildren to George and Leila Baijoo, and a princess to her five aunts and one uncle. On her maternal side, she was the second-youngest of sixteen grandchildren to Frederick and Shanti Lauchman. She was also the beloved niece to her four aunts and two uncles. Kareena was not just family to her many cousins, but also a close friend. At a young age, she became a loving and caring figure to two great-grandchildren in the family. In just 19 years, Kareena achieved many accomplishments — choreographing and dancing her own routines, graduating from CTEA in 2025 alongside many friends, and continuing her education at Hunter College's School of Nursing. Although her career and life were far too short, Kareena's bubbly personality and spunky attitude will be deeply missed by all the lives she touched.
