Obituary of Tuyet Thanh Thi Vu
Tuyet Thanh Thi Vu, age 60, passed away on Sunday, April 21, 2024 at her home in Fredericksburg, VA. She was born on September 23, 1963 in Vietnam to Tiem and Sang (Thi) Vu. Our beloved mother and GaGa passed away peacefully at home after a courageous battle with cancer. Her life started out with trials and tribulations, being a young refugee from Vietnam; from taking care of all her younger siblings to adjusting to her new life in America. She married the love of her life and had three children. She became a widow in her late 30’s and worked hard as a single mother. She was a fierce, protective, and loving mother. She was the definition of a strong, independent woman. She was a business owner and a caregiver – always working to take care of others until she physically couldn’t anymore. She was a woman of faith who was dedicated to her family. Through all her struggles, her faith sustained her. She trusted in God’s will. She was a devout catholic and embodied the same patience, compassion, and love that our Lord Jesus Christ does. You could always find her at church or at one of her patient’s homes. She loved each patient like they were her own family, even spending Thanksgiving and Christmas with them so they wouldn’t be alone. After becoming a grandmother, she became softer, warmer. Always calling to see how they were doing and what they were eating (and if we dressed them warm enough). She was a worried wart. Her family was her treasure and she wanted to protect us and keep us safe. She was the perfect example of a grandmother, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and caregiver. If you met her, you loved her and you remembered her. She was truly one of a kind. The family wishes to share a favorite bible verse, “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.” John 15:12. Predeceased by her father: Tiem Vu and husband: Tam Minh Nguyen. Survivors include her mother: Sang Vu; three children: Paul Nguyen (Vy), Mary Malaguti (Justin) and Peter Nguyen (Oyo Bounnaphol); siblings: Ninh Vu, Thai Vu (Vicky), Vinh Vu and Hong Vu (Lia Nguyen); and grandchildren: Sophia Malaguti, Jaxon Malaguti, Arthur Nguyen and Rowan Nguyen. The family will receive friends on Thursday, April 25, 2024 at Mullins and Thompson Funeral Service, 1621 Emancipation Highway, Fredericksburg, VA 22401 from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, April 26, 2024 at 10:30 AM at St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, 1009 Stafford Avenue, Fredericksburg, VA 22401 with Father Robert Renner officiating. Interment will follow at Oak Hill Cemetery in Fredericksburg, VA.
