Queeny Poulose was born on April 3, 1938, in Quilon, Kerala State, India and passed away on February 19, 2026. From an early age, she distinguished herself through her intellect, faith, and determination—qualities that would define her life and service to others.
She pursued higher education at Maharajah’s College and later attended Trivandrum Medical College, where she trained in Medicine and discovered her calling to Psychiatry. It was during her medical studies that she met her future husband, K. Paul Poulose. Their partnership, rooted in faith, mutual respect, and love, would span 64 years of marriage.
Queeny was deeply devoted to her husband and to raising their three sons. Together, she and Paul built a strong and loving family. In the early 1970s, they made the courageous decision to immigrate to the United States, seeking new opportunities while remaining firmly grounded in their values. They settled in Leavenworth, Kansas, where they raised their family, established lasting roots, and nurtured many friendships.
Queeny devoted her professional life as a psychiatrist at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Veterans Affairs Medical Center. There, she served with compassion, humility, and unwavering dedication, providing care to America’s veterans and honoring their sacrifices.
Above all, Queeny was known for her resilience, piety, and devotion to her family. She was a nurturing and loving presence—a steady source of strength, guidance, and quiet sacrifice. Her faith anchored her life, and her love shaped her home and all who knew her.
She is survived by her beloved husband Paul Poulose; her sons, Anil (Sheila), Abraham (Mari), and Benjamin (Michelle); and by a family who will forever cherish her memory and example. She leaves 13 grandchildren (Ellen, Mark, Pascal, Alex, Solomon, Kate, Gabrielle, Esther, Maria, Veronica, Phillip (deceased), Sebastian, and Isabelle). In addition, she is survived by six great-grandchildren.
Queeny Poulose’s life was one of service, faith, and love. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched—as a physician, a wife, a devoted mother, and a woman of deep compassion and grace.
