Aparna Chandrasekhar of Roslindale, formerly of Pittsburgh, PA, passed away unexpectedly on June 7, 2026. Beloved fiancée of James “Jay” Hogan of Roslindale and his daughter Keira. Devoted daughter of Krishnamoorthy and Anasuya Chandrasekhar of PA. Dear sister of Archana “Archie” Chandrasekhar of NY. Aparna lived life with vigor. She traveled the world with curiosity, sought adventure at every turn and was ever in search of a good meal (or Taco Bell). Most importantly, she never hesitated to give of herself to help those who needed it. Aparna had a unique ability to ensure every person in her large orbit knew how special they were. She made every community stronger, more creative and capable. It is this compassion and focus with which she will be remembered. Visitation services provided by the William J.
