| With deep sorrow, the Mukerji family announces the passing of
| Meenakshi Mukerji on June 11, 2024. Meenakshi fought very hard
| and bravely against stage 4 lung cancer for nearly 5 years, and
| she passed peacefully surrounded by close family and so much
| love.
|
| Meenakshi was born and raised in Kolkata, India. She obtained her
| BS in electrical engineering from the prestigious Indian
| Institute of Technology Kharagpur, and a MS in computer science
| from Portland State University, Oregon. After working in the
| software industry for more than a decade, Meenakshi dedicated her
| time to her family, her community, travel, and to the arts. She
| authored many origami books and spread her love and passion for
| the craft across the world.
|
| Meenakshi was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, wife, and
| friend. Her strength, creativity, positivity, and love will
| continue to inspire and touch the lives of those who knew her,
| and also those who didn't.

| I encourage anybody that likes geometry and puzzles to give
| modular origami a try. You just need lots of little pieces of
| paper, and some patience. Then you end up with fun little desk
