Dr. Davy Muth

Dr. Davy Muth was born in Kandal, Phnom Penh, and arrived in Seattle in 1981, where she built a life of resilience, compassion, and service. A dedicated educator with a Ph.D. in Education, she became one of the first Cambodian principals in the United States, leading Wing Luke Elementary with wisdom, warmth, and an unwavering belief in the power of learning. She cared deeply about children, families, and the community she served. Teaching was not just her profession; it was her calling.

A survivor of the Khmer Rouge, Davy helped her family and many other Khmer families safely immigrate to America. She was known for her intelligence, kindness, love of travel, and passion for hiking and personal health. Above all, she cared deeply for her family and community.

Her siblings survive her: Rin Muth (and her husband, Daniel San), Ren Sao, Sopha Muth (and his wife, Mom Muth), Paula Muth (and her husband, Thoeun Kouch), and Jack Muth. She is also survived by her daughter, Darika Muth, and her son-in-law, Andrew Oun, as well as her grandsons, Ethan and Jaden Oun. She leaves behind many nieces, nephews, and extended family members. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched.

Dr. Davy Muth is remembered for her resilience, her service, and her love for family and community.
