2022 has been a year of death. Not only has the Queen of England passed away after a decades-long rule as the country’s monarch, but numerous news anchors have also lost their lives this year. Among these deceased professionals is former Fox News anchor Uma Pemmaraju who appeared on the air for Fox News back when it launched in 1993 – and she was the first Indian American news anchor to land a job with a national news network.

 

Pemmaraju lost her life back on August 8, 2022, at the young age of just sixty-four years old. Although her family did not confirm the cause of the anchor’s death, her daughter, Kirina Alana Devi, did a post on social media about the anchor’s untimely demise. In the social media post, the deceased’s daughter wrote that her mother was her “very best friend” and a very good person who will be sorely missed by her loved ones.
In the social media update, Devi shared several pictures of her beautiful mother along with a video in which the mother tells her daughter, “I love you always, and you’re always in my heart.”

Devi wrote the following caption as a tribute to her mother, who passed away in August 2022.

“Words cannot express how deeply devastated I am to have lost you. Your bravery, kindness, and all of the laughter & light you filled every moment with have inspired me in every sense – You taught me everything I know and have always been my rock no matter what has come our way.”

Then Devi told her mother, “I know you are at peace now with the angels.” The daughter then told her mother just how much she loved her and would miss her now that she was gone from this world.
She wrote, “I will do everything I can to make you proud. I love you tons and tons big much, mommy. I am truly lucky to be your daughter. You are my heart.”
