Celebrating the life of
Preeti J. Francis Menon
August 27, 1984 - August 22, 2022
Mother of Bilbo & Matilda - Programmer at Heart - Steminist - Hooman
After a heroic battle with cancer, Preeti J Francis Menon, 37, died peacefully at her home in Pooler,Ga on 22nd August 2022, surrounded by a wave of love from friends and family. She died as she lived, fearlessly! We love her and know how lucky we are to have had her in our lives.
Preeti was born in Pune, India in August 1984, to John Francis and Kshama Francis. She graduated from Pune University in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and started her career at Infosys as a Software Engineer where she met Rahul Menon.
Preeti married Rahul in December 2009 . They came to the United States in 2011. She pursued her Master’s in Computer Science from Wichita State University and joined Gulfstream Aerospace in 2015.
She was a devoted volunteer for the causes close to her heart. She volunteered for the Wichita Public Schools from 2012-2013 and won the Good Apple award in 2013 for her contributions. She volunteered for the Humane Society for Greater Savannah and One Love Animal Rescue, and she adopted and welcomed two rescue pups to her home. She was the proud mother to Bilbo and Matilda whom she loved dearly. She volunteered for the Society of Women Engineers and played key roles in coordinating STEM events for kids.
She enjoyed new technologies, programming, coffee, painting, food, DIY, video games and travel. She was an avid reader and a potterhead.
Preeti was diagnosed with a rare type of sarcoma cancer in her abdomen in June 2022. She underwent a surgery and was fighting the cancer with chemotherapy, but lost the battle.
She is survived by her husband Rahul Menon, mother Kshama Francis and aunt Sandhya Mohan Rao.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Humane Society of Greater Savannah, a cause that was close to her heart. We will be celebrating her life in Savannah, GA in a few weeks.

So many memories cross my mind as I write my final goodbyes to a dear friend, amazing woman and one of the best brains I have come across! We worked together at Infosys and there was never a dull moment around Preeti.

I have lost a dear friend. We had the best times together, while we were young. In the recent years, I remember having heart to heart conversations with her regarding life as were trying to navigate it as middle aged women. I miss her! I wish I could meet her and give her a hug.
