Minh grew up and attended school in Vietnam. She worked hard to achieve her academic and professional goals by earning a degree in Pharmacy. She married her husband Hien and had 5 children Triet, Hoc, Chuong, Minhchau and Dao. Minh continued to pursue her career while still being a wonderful mother. She excelled at propping up members of her family and supporting them through the trials and tribulations of their lives. She always put her children first.
Minh immigrated to the U.S. as a refugee to start a new life with her children. She provided support for other refugees by working at a community clinic in Chicago. Minh was passionate about cooking. When she wasn’t filling her home with the aroma of her cuisine, she could be found spending time with her family and friends, traveling, or relaxing and watching Asian drama series. We will miss her greatly.
Minh was predeceased by her husband, parents, and siblings except for a sister Jeanne, brothers Henry and Francois and dearest cousin Cuc. She is survived by her beloved 5 children and their spouses, and her 9 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
