Khuyen Nguyen Obituary
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Khuyen Thi Nguyen, 91, who left this world peacefully in her sleep on March 7, 2025.
Born on May 20, 1933, Khuyen was a woman of unwavering strength, selflessness, and resilience. After her late husband, Manh Van Le, made the decision to stay behind in Vietnam after the war ended in April 1975. She courageously left war-torn Vietnam and came to the United States with her six children, determined to build a better future for her family. Through tireless work, unshakable optimism, and boundless love, she created a life filled with happiness, laughter and hope for those she cherished most.
Our mother’s dedication to her family was the foundation of her life. She faced every challenge with grace and an indomitable spirit, always putting her children before herself. Her kindness, wisdom, and warmth will forever live on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
We find comfort in knowing that she is now at peace, reunited with loved ones who passed before her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, perseverance, and generosity that will continue to inspire generations to come.
She is survived by her loving children: Hung Viet Le and his children and grandchildren; Minh Thi-Kieu Le and her husband, Robert Clement Mailloux, with their children and grandchildren; Khai Hoang Le and his wife, Maria Aznaran, with their children and grandchildren; Hanh Thi-Kieu Le and her husband, Dy Binh Nguyen, with their children and grandchildren; Manh Khuyen Le and his wife, Thuy Dung Quach, with their children; and Khuyen Thi-Manh Le and her husband, Giacomo Striuli, with their children. She leaves behind a legacy of love and family that will be cherished for generations to come.
A memorial service will be held to honor and celebrate her life on June 15, 2025. Family will provide more details when they have them.
Our beloved mother’s love and sacrifices will never be forgotten. She will be dearly missed and forever cherished.
