Khin Than Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Merle Hay Funeral Home on Mar. 12, 2026.
Khin Aye Than, was born on June 15, 1985, in Rathedaung, and passed away on January 10, 2026, at Everystep Kavanagh House.

Khin was a loving wife, a caring mother, and a loyal friend. She brought kindness, strength, and compassion into everything she did, and her love touched everyone around her.

She is survived by her spouse, Kyaw Maung, her son, Htet Lin, and her daughters, Myat Wai and Khine Thu Wai.

We are grateful for the time we had with her, and though our hearts ache, her memory fills us with joy. She made our family better, and we will always be thankful for all she did for us and our children.
