Anjali Lall
September 21, 1995 ~ June 7, 2014
Anjali Kumari Lall was born on September 21, 1995 in Fargo, ND to Rita and Vinod Lall of Fargo, ND.
Anjali just completed her Freshman year at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus, where she planned to study biochemistry before attending medical school. She was involved in volunteer work and research and her passion for helping others was evident in everything that she did. She was a devoted student and volunteer.
Anjali truly touched the lives of those around her. As a graduate of Davies High School, Anjali left her mark on the Fargo community. She was active in debate club, orchestra, and Fill the Dome. Always putting the needs of others before her own, Anjali was a devoted friend and sister.
She is survived by her parents, Rita and Vinod Lall; her sister, Naveena Lall; and extended family in the United States and India.

Dear Vinod and Rita:
My words cannot express the shock and sorrow I felt when Mary Jane told me about your loss. I never met Anjali, but I know how proud of her you both were. By what you told me and by what I read about her, she must have been a very sweet, caring, and intelligent young lady. Both of your daughters were always topics in our conversations. As a mother, I cannot imagine how painful her loss is for you and the family. I hope you find some comfort in the love of your family and friends. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
Dear Vinod and family I was shocked and saddened to learn of your beautiful daughter’s passing. I did not know her but in reading other’s comments about her she sounded like a young woman of strength, character and love. May the God of all comfort, comfort you in these difficult days. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Quito – ECUADOR Dear Vinod and Rita

I was so sorry to hear about Anjali. We can only celebrate the life of this incredible young woman. I had her in orchestra for a couple of years and admired her self-discipline, confidence, and quiet leadership as she set an example for other students. She touched the lives of many young adults and she will be remembered with nothing but positive thoughts! My prayers are with your family for healing and acceptance.

Anjali was part of my group for Foundations of Biology. The way the class is set up, you are constantly interacting with your classmates. I got to know Anjali very well and boy was I impressed with her character and work ethic. For every project we had to do, she made sure that all the work was submitted before the deadline. She also made sure no group member felt left out. She was quiet and composed each and every time. I also got the chance to speak with her outside of class a few times when we bumped into one another, and it was amazing how much she was always trying to better humanity. Each one of us became like family members and we each are taking this loss as if we lost a family member. My prayers go out to Anjali and your family. In her 19 years of life, she has sure made such a bright impact on this world. And that impact will continue on with us for the rest of our lives.
San Francisco I still remember babysitting little Anjali during your visits to India. I can’t believe how tough it might be for you, but please know that you all are in our prayers.
We are so sorry for not being able to make it to the funeral but please let us know if there is anyway we can help.
You are in our thoughts. We will miss Anjali and her thousand volt smile.
I am deeply saddened at the news of Anjali’s passing. She was a very intelligent young girl with a bright future. Her kind and giving spirit is something I will never forget.

Grand Forks/Minneapolis Anjali was intelligent and kind when I met her through debate, and when I ran into her on campus she was just as compassionate as when I first met her. Thoughts and prayers with your family.

I am very sorry to hear of Anjali’s passing. I lived by her this past year and have fond memories of going on various adventures with her such as attending the Nobel peace prize forum, sporting events, and wandering to find a cupcake shop. I admires how motivated, encouraging, and involved in the community she was.

Jamestown ndRita, so sorry for your loss, been thinking of you a lot.
I was a close friend to Anjali in Foundations of Biology class this year. It has come as a shock to me when I received the news she has passed, and I am still in utter dismay. Anjali was the sweetest, kindest, and one of the most friendly people to enter my circle, and it thickens my lung to comprehend that such an amazing and beautiful person has been taken away from us. Anjali was inspiring. In the time I had known her, there was not a single thing I could have found that was negative about her. Always had a smile on her face, always cheering others up and on. Anjali was a close friend and my heart goes out to you. May she rest in peace.
