Minh Chiem

Minh was born in Rach Gia, Vietnam on May 26, 1938. As a strong, kind and loving mother and grandmother, she has cared for many people throughout her life and will be greatly missed.

Minh led a brave and adventurous life, filled with many new beginnings. She led her family from Vietnam and started a new life by braving the cold winters of Trois-Rivieres, Quebec. When she had enough of the snow, she moved her family across the country to settle in Vancouver, BC.

She was a devoted member of the Universal Buddhist Temple, volunteering her time every Sunday and enjoyed traveling with other members of the congregation.

Minh Chiem is survived by 2 siblings, 5 children, and 10 grandchildren.
