A memorial service will be held on Friday, September 11th at 2:30pm in the chapel at Memorial Park.
Priya was born to P. Saran and Krishnamma Saran in Mumbai, India on October 19, 1955. She earned a postgraduate degree in nutrition before marrying her husband, Narayana G. Pillai in 1975. They lived in England and Canada before settling in Amarillo, Texas in 1982.
An avid traveler and a voracious reader, Priya could frequently be found in the stacks of the public library searching for the latest Elizabeth George mystery or at the airport returning from her latest adventure. Family and friends will miss her abundant generosity and compassion.
She is survived by her husband, Dr. Narayana G. Pillai, her daughters, Rathi and Rupa, as well as her mother Krishnamma Saran, her brother, Dr. Prem Saran, and her sister, Dr. Preethy Nayar.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Storybridge, a children’s literacy non-profit based in Amarillo, Texas.
