Vân Th y Nguy n

Vân Thy Nguyễn, a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and the beloved matriarch of her family, was born on July 17, 1947, in Nha Trang, Vietnam. She built a life defined by courage, sacrifice, and unconditional love for her family.

In pursuit of a better life for her children, Vân bravely crossed the ocean as a refugee from Nha Trang, Vietnam. Through immense hardship and determination, she rebuilt a life in a new country, guided by resilience and an unbreakable commitment to her family. As a single mother of six, she devoted herself to raising her children with resilience, compassion, and independence. Her sacrifices and strength shaped not only her children’s lives but also those of her grandchildren, who carry forward the values she instilled in them.

She lived life fiercely, with joy and unmistakable style. She loved singing, dancing, cooking, traveling, and most of all, being surrounded by her family. Her laughter, warmth, and spirit filled every room she entered.

Vân is survived by her children, Vu (Danny) Nguyễn, Hanh (Trena) Nguyễn, Kennedy Nguyễn, and Judy Nguyễn, her younger brother Ngọc Nguyễn, sister Nga Nguyễn, niece Lynda Vo, and her beloved 13 grandchildren, along with many extended family members and friends who loved her deeply. She will be deeply missed and forever loved. She now rests alongside her beloved eldest daughter, Kimanh Nguyễn, and her baby boy, Tony Nguyễn, watching over her family from above. Her strength carried her family across oceans and through generations, and her love and legacy will continue to guide them in every child and grandchild who carries her spirit forward.
