Trinh Nguyen

I was lucky enough to work with and know Trinh for the last 3 years at UCF. Trinh's warmth and kindness was such a bright light in the world. She made me feel so welcome and included when I first started at UCF. Her kindness and compassion for others was something I always admired about her and looked up to her about. I will always cherish the time we were able to share at UCF.

Elegant, spirited, resilient, loving....just a few words that describe Trinh. She brightened every room, made family events feel whole, and shared a love with Fred that not many are lucky enough to experience. Though we only had met 4 years ago, she will be remembered and honored for the rest of my life with every flower seen or cooking show watched.

We were so lucky to have Trinh as part of our family. She brought so much joy to my dad´s life and loved her grandchildren, Paisley and Izzy, with all her heart. Her kindness, warmth, and contagious smile touched everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed, but her love will remain in our hearts forever. We love you Trinh!

I had the privilege of working as an accountant in one of the colleges at UCF, and whenever I needed guidance or expertise in the ever-changing world of Higher Ed, I knew I could reach out to Trinh. She was always upbeat and cheerful, and we often shared a chuckle or two during our work conversations.

We spent many moments crafting emails together to clearly convey what was needed to complete a purchase, and she never minded the call-always answering when it was me. I was grateful for that. It´s rare to have someone you can simply say, "YO, call me when you´re free," even when their "busy" light is on.

She was a good egg-full of experience, wisdom, guidance, and a calm, reassuring voice over the phone. I will truly miss her. May she rest in peace in the heavens above.

My deepest condolences go out to Trinh's family and friends during this difficult time. I worked in the same department as Trinh did at UCF. Though I didn't work directly with her due to our different jobs, I was fortunate to be on the same team as her for a team build we did a few months ago, and got to interact with her via Teams that day. She was very kind and upbeat during all of our activities. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who loves and cares for Trinh and the Nguyen family. God bless.

Thank you to everyone for posting your memories and photos of Trinh. We love seeing her life as she lived it with family and friends.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Trinh at Siemens Energy. I worked with her in the procurement organization. She was a special person who cared about her job and even more so about the people. Her warm and friendly personality made it a joy to see her in the office. Always positive and smiling in such a tough business environment. My thoughts and prayers to Fred and her family.

My heartfelt condolences go out to Fred and the Nguyen family during this challenging time. I had the pleasure of meeting Trinh and Fred 14 years ago when I joined Siemens, and Fred and I quickly became friends. Trinh was always kind and warm in our interactions. I truly appreciate the love that Trinh and Fred cultivated over the years. She will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who loves and cares for Fred, Trinh, and Nguyen family.

We lived far apart starting in 1993. My strongest memories of us are in our school days. The strongest memories are always the ones that are accompanied by oft-told stories. Like the time in elementary (or was it middle school?) where I had to hold your purse while you put up your dukes against a bully. Or the story told by mom (no memories here) where you and I decided to run away from home and promptly walked to the elementary school, each carrying one underwear, because we were prepared!
After we grew up and started to lead our own lives, we saw each other less and only at holidays...I am going through those photos now and loving them all.

Rest in peace sweet lady. I didn´t know you very well but I could feel your warmth and sincerity.
Fred we send you our sincere deepest condolences.

I´m grateful to the love you and my dad shared. You always lit up a room with your smile and infectious laugh. You have the kindest and most generous heart. We shared some great memories with our family and I´m so glad you were a part of it. You will be greatly missed.

Trinh, what a warm, kind, beautiful soul you are. You filled our family with joy and you are truly missed. Thank you for all that you gave to us. We love you very much.

We will miss you my beautiful friend, you were a big part of our family!

I love you...

You are truly the love of my life. I am so thankful for the life we shared and how incredibly loved you made me feel. My memories of us are helping with the loneliness, but I still miss you beyond comprehension. I love you Hun.

I love you and miss you so much, Trinh. We shared good times. You will be forever in my heart, and I am grateful to have you as a sister.

I love you and miss you so much, Trinh. You will forever be in my heart. We shared good times together. Forever grateful to have you as my sister.
