Hai Thi Ly, 92, passed away on March 14, 2026. Born on November 11, 1933, she lived in Loma Linda, California. Hai Thi Ly will be remembered as compassionate, hard-working, inspirational, kind-hearted, faithful, and devoted, leaving a legacy of steady love and quiet strength in the lives of all who knew her.
After this introduction, Ly’s presence is recalled with deep respect and admiration. She was very beautiful, and her grace was matched by a spirit that drew people close and made them feel cared for.
Ly loved Vietnamese opera (cai luong) and would recall poetry from memory, a gift that reflected both her remarkable recall and her appreciation for tradition, beauty, and the spoken word.
Ly was married for 60 years to her beloved husband, Hoa Vinh Tran, and together they raised 11 children. Through the years, she remained the center of the family—the glue that held everyone together—offering guidance, comfort, and constancy through every season of life.
A devoted Buddhist, Ly lived her faith with sincerity and humility, expressing her values through kindness, devotion to family, and compassion for others.
