Linda Quynh-Dung Luu, beloved wife, mother, daughter, and sister, passed away peacefully on August 20, 2024 after a heroic battle with breast cancer in the arms of her devoted husband Nguyen, son Austin, and surrounded by family members.
Linda was born on March 3rd, 1962, in Da Nang, Vietnam, the oldest of seven children. She immigrated to the United States in 1975. She graduated from Portland State University with a degree in computer science then worked for Intel Corp where she excelled as a software engineer, manager, and later on as a data scientist. Her numerous technical accomplishments include three patents, one of which enabled software installation over the network which is the foundation of downloadable software today.
She was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer three months after giving birth to Austin. The diagnosis was devastating but it did not conquer her positive spirit. After retirement from high-tech, she took on a new interest as a certified financial planner after training at UCLA. In addition to having private clients, she also gave pro bono financial advice to the underserved.
Linda got the upper hand over cancer for more than twenty-five years with the unwavering support of her steadfast husband and son. Her biggest love is to spend time with her son and husband in any activities - from thrilling tennis or chess tournaments to just driving to visit her son at OSU. She had a passion for travel and went on many international trips throughout her life. She enjoyed shopping for antiques with her sisters-in-law, hunting for rare lace and old jewelry to the extent that she became an expert in both. During the COVID years, she found joy in feeding the chipmunks, squirrels, and birds in her backyard oasis. She was a tower of support for her extended family and friends whether it be just listening, providing sage advice, or giving thoughtful gifts.
Linda will always be remembered for her strong will, her positive outlook, her generosity, and her devotion to her family. She is survived by her husband Nguyen Dinh Nguyen, her son Austin, her father Lưu Văn Thang, her mother Lê Thị Không Ngự, her brothers Hung, Long, Tuan, Vu, and her sisters Susan and Donna.
The funeral will be held on Monday August 26, 2024 at Finley-Sunset Hills Mortuary, 6801 SW Sunset, Hwy, Portland, Oregon 97225.
