In Memory of Tôn Nữ Cẩm Quỳ

Left this earth on March 10, 2026 while in the care of her children after battling years of a rare Cold Agglutinin Disease.

Cẩm Quỳ was born in Huế, Vietnam. She started her career as an Art Teacher in Đà Lạt, started her family during the American war, escaped Vietnam after the war and came to the US in 1981. She raised four children in Tustin, traveled all over the world to care for her 11 grandchildren and eventually retired in Irvine, California. She is fondly remembered for her compassion, courage, and amazing cooking. Her students remember her most for her care and encouragement to pursue the arts. Her children benefited from her courage, braving the seas in post-war Vietnam in search of a better life for her family. Her grandchildren loved the joy Bà served with her incredible cooking. She made lasting impressions with everyone she met and anyone lucky enough to know her. She brought people together with her cooking, she cared for so many with her kindness and she brought us all great joy and memories through food. In loving memory of our strong, courageous and caring mother, grandmother, and teacher.

She is survived by her 4 children:

Son: Lân, his wife Minnie and three children: Dan, Daisy, Hannah

Daughter: Mimi and her two children: Nicolas, Adrian

Daughter: Christine and her two children: Lucas, Siena

Son: Anthony, his wife Meredith and four children: Amelia, Alice, Oscar, Oli
