Tranh Ng c Lý (61) was born in Vietnam, where she worked as a primary school teacher as head of the department teaching 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders, she was a talented singer, an incredible cook, loved by the local community, was very well known for her tailor-ship, who later worked as a nail technician. Her craft extended into the United States after she met her husband i p Ng c Lê (70) where they opened a tailoring store together named “Song-Ng c”. Tranh and i p shared the same middle name, so they chose “Song” meaning “pair/twin” and “Ng c” meaning “gem” as their middle names. Soon after, when Tranh gave birth to her only daughter Helen Ng c Lê (24), both she and her husband decided Helen’s Vietnamese name would be after their store (Lê Song-Ng c). Tranh was devoted to being an incredibly supportive and sweet mother, wife, sister, friend, and teacher. She was known to be a gentle, elegant, and selfless person. Unfortunately, despite living a healthy life, her battle with stage IV lung cancer was discovered at the start of 2021. She had pulled out a strong fight since then. In the time having known her, her long-term and short-term care team at UMass Memorial had expressed so much love for Tranh. Her light-heartedness, humor, and energy were infectious. They would say, “She’s so sweet, she’s my favorite, she’s so adorable, she’s so funny.” In her final days at home she radiated and overflowed with so much love and peace you could tell there was an incredible energy that surrounded her. Guests who walked into the room to greet her have shared they could not help but feel the love and beauty at home. She spent her time at home singing karaoke, smiling making little finger hearts, and reminiscing her life with close loved ones surrounded by walls of flowers and balloons. She was so happy to have been met with so much love in the last month of her life. One of her last few wishes was to ensure we spread awareness of lung cancer and to advocate for methods of early detection. May her love continue to live within us today and tomorrow.
