Aui Mahon of Colorado Springs passed away on April 20, 2019 at age 66. She was a very strong person and battled kidney disease and numerous side effects for 18 years. She was born in Mae Yen Tai, a rice farming village in northern Thailand. After she became the beloved wife of James Mahon 43 years and 15 days before her death, she moved to Colorado Springs where she worked in a few restaurants, a wholesale flower growing business, and had a clearance at TRW before she retired to spend more time as a loving mother to Shawn Mahon and eventually a special "Yah" to grandsons Evan Mahon and Cole Mahon.
She was preceded in death by grand-daughter Kelsey who died at birth and daughter-in-law Rhonda Mahon in December of 2018. Thai family members who also preceded her in death were her younger brother and sister Paht and Pahn and her father and mother Som and Dee Keiwkumpan. Immediate Thai family members that survive her include her younger brothers Kahm and Gaow and her younger sisters Sriwan and Make. There are also many other aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and their families. She was an excellent cook and loved to cook for her family, friends, and the monks. She won a cooking contest at a large Thai Wat in Denver.
