Dr. Davy Muth

In Loving Memory of Dr. Davy Muth
January 1, 1952 – November 7, 2025
Dr. Davy Muth was born in Kandal, Phnom Penh, and arrived in Seattle in 1981, where she built a life of
resilience, compassion, and service. A dedicated educator with a Ph.D. in Education, she became one of
the first Cambodian principals in the United States, leading Wing Luke Elementary with wisdom, warmth,
and an unwavering belief in the power of learning. She cared deeply about children, families, and the
community she served. Teaching was not just her profession; it was her calling.
A survivor of the Khmer Rouge, Davy helped her family and many other Khmer families safely
immigrate to America. She was known for her intelligence, kindness, love of travel, and passion for
hiking and personal health. Above all, she cared deeply for her family and community.
She is survived by her siblings Rin Muth, Ren Sao, Sopha Muth, Paula Muth, Jack Muth, and Darika
Muth (aka her daughter), and by her grandsons, Ethan and Jaden Oun. She is also survived by her nieces
and nephews, along with her extended family. Her legacy lives on in the many lives she touched.
