Funeral of Mrs. Đào Thị Nguyễn
1/11/1935 - 1/18/2024
On 1/11/1935, our Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother, Mrs. Đào Thị Nguyễn arrived on Earth in a small farming village of Tho Lac, Xuyen Tan, Duy Xuyen District, Quang Nam Province, in the middle of Vietnam by her Mother Phạm Thị Trữ and Father Nguyễn Văn Đồng. She has a younger brother Nguyễn Văn Lợi.
She went to schools in Quang Nam Province and became a maternity nurse. She worked in hospitals in Quang Nam Province and other Provinces in Vietnam.
After 1975 when the Vietnam War was over, she moved to Phước An District, Dak Lak Province, Vietnam in a small farming village with her parents, her brother and his family, and her kids. During that time, there’s no hospitals, nor doctors or nurses for maternity available in our district. She continued to serve as a maternity nurse helping young mothers in our villages including the villages in our district deliver their babies at no charge.
In 1995, she moved to the USA and lived in Tacoma WA until now.
On 01/18/2024, our Mom and Grandma and Great Grandma, Mrs. Đào Thị Nguyễn, peacefully departed from the Earth Space Station at St. Joseph Medical Center Hospital in Tacoma, WA at about 11 pm aboard the RIP (Rest In Peace) Spacecraft. She was 89 years old. We bid her farewell at the Station during her departure.
Now, she embarks on a new journey of life. We love you, Mom and Grandma and Great Grandma, and wish you well on your new journey, and take good care of yourself.
With love, Your Children, Grandchildren, and Great Grandchildren.
Our Mom and Grandma and Great Grandma, Mrs. Đào Thị Nguyễn visited Earth for a short period of time. She lived a good life. She did good deeds. And she is a good human being.
Her nurturing spirit, unwavering support, and boundless love for us will forever live on in our hearts. We’ll always remember her as a kind and loving Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother with a good heart to all her loved ones, family, relatives, friends, and fellow humans. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Her kindness and compassion touched the lives of many, and she will be deeply missed by those who had the privilege of knowing her.
Her memory will be forever cherished by her family, relatives, and friends. Her legacy as a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, community volunteer, and friend will endure, and her spirit will continue to inspire all of us. In our hearts, she lives on, and we will forever honor the legacy of a beloved mother and grandmother who made a lasting impact on the world, leaving behind many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Our loves will always be with you Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma.We wish you rest in peace. And united with your ancestors.
May wisdom shine in your path that connects you with your ancestors and Mother Nature. May the path of wisdom guide and help you realize that joy and happiness can grow and blossom from suffering, much like the lotus grows and blossoms from mud. This realization will give you the ability to see life as it truly is, following the way of nature. The way of nature is an awareness of nature which represents the wisdom of the universe. You came from the universe, now you are going back to the universe. You are the universe.
May you rest in peace.
