Mrs. Nga Le was born in Ha Dong, Vietnam on March 15th, 1933. She later moved to South Vietnam in 1954 and resided there until relocating to the USA in 1989 and had lived in many places in USA until her passing in 2024.

She was the loving mother of six living children, Nguyen Thi Vinh (Van Cu), Nguyen Duc Hien (Them), Yen Huynh (Tai) - Albany NY, Ha Nguyen (Duyen) -Augusta GA, Oanh Nguyen - Annadale VA, Son Nguyen (Jenny)- Houston, TX. Vinh Nguyen and Hien Nguyen reside in Vietnam.

Also, grandchildren Nguyen Thi Thu Hang, Nguyen Duc Trung, Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Pham Hoang Tien, Pham Hoang Thanh, Pham Thi Thanh Thao, Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong, Nguyen Huu Tri and Nguyen Thi Thanh Truc, all in Viet Nam

She was also great grandmother to Tyler, Matthew, Avery, Addison, and Ari, all in USA. Also, Nguyen Minh Hue, Chau Duy Tan, Chau Ngoc Minh An, all in Viet Nam.

Widowed at a very young age (42), Mrs. Le raised her children single-handedly, through many hardships and challenges, especially during the time after the fall of South Vietnam. She made sure that her children completed their education, grew up to be good people, and had a family of their own. She instilled values of perseverance, determination, and hard work in them at a very young age and taught them to live by these values. She enjoyed cooking, sewing, and gardening. She loved her small garden of roses and were always proud of her traditional Vietnamese dishes. She adored her grandchildren and had helped raising them when they were young.

She was a strong, level-headed, and very determined person. She was well loved, admired, and respected among families and friends. After 91 years of shining bright, especially through dark and difficult times, her light dimmed and vanished on June 15th, 2024. The memories of our mom, however, will forever shine brightly through her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and everyone’s lives she has touched with her kindness, compassion, and generosity.

A Catholic service will be held on Saturday June 29, 2024, from 10.30 am to noon at the Holy Martyrs of Vietnam Church, 915 S Wakefield Street, Arlington VA 22204.
