Ms Patel was in the class of 2001 at Canberra's Radford College and has been remembered as a "lovely person" by those who studied with her.
"Still totally in shock," a classmate said on a social media post by the Radford Collegians' Association.
"Bhavita was such a lovely person and a good friend during our years at Radford.

"Super funny and friendly. She will be missed."
After leaving Radford College in 2001, Ms Patel studied accounting and finance at the Australian National University.
She worked for the federal government in Canberra before moving to Melbourne, where she rose to a senior manager position with consulting firm Deloitte and was described as a "high-flyer".
Ms Patel had been walking back to her office from her lunch break when she was struck down.
She is the sixth person to die after 26-year-old Dimitrious Gargasoulas allegedly drove his car into the busy CBD mall and mowed down dozens of pedestrians on the afternoon of January 20.
Mr Gargasoulas has since been charged with five counts of murder.
The five other victims of the Bourke Street tragedy were three-month-old Zachary Bryant, 10-year-old Thalia Hakin, 33-year-old Melbourne father Matthew Si, 22-year-old Sydney woman Jess Mudie, and a 25-year-old Japanese national.
Seven victims remained in hospital on Tuesday, with one of those in a "grave condition", Victoria's Premier Daniel Andrews said.
