Thy Vu-Oliver Obituary

CORNELIUS, N.C. - Thy Vu-Oliver, 32, of Cornelius, N.C., passed away peacefully with family and friends by her side on Wednesday, Dec. 5. The spiritual presence of so many others was felt as well. Though Thy fought harder than anyone could have asked for, God had a different plan for her and He now has the most special angel with Him.
Thy is survived by her loving husband Benjamin Donaldson Oliver, her precious sons, Colyn Patrick Oliver, 8, and Masyn James Oliver, 1, her father, Bau Ngoc Vu, her mother, Hong Thi Le Duong, her sister, Hang Trang Vu, her brother, John Viet Vu, her brother, Andy Binh Vu, her mother and father-in-law and many special brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
Funeral services for Thy Vu-Oliver were held Saturday, Dec. 8 at St. Therese Catholic Church in Mooresville, N.C.
We would like to express our thanks to the incredible staff at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital and the SECU Family House in Winston-Salem, N.C. We also want to thank the amazing company, Dave & Busters. Your caring support and thoughtfulness for Thy and the entire family was tremendous.
Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming support and prayers you have and continue to give the family.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to the Vu-Oliver Family Fund, which was set up to assist with the children's needs and education. Donations can be addressed to: Vu-Oliver Family Fund, P.O. Box 43, Vernon, N.Y. 13476. Again, thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers.
