Mã Thúc Khanh

Khanh was born on April 4, 1923 in Bangkok, Thailand. At the age of nine, she moved to Chaoyang, Guangdong, China for school where she would meet and marry Nhu Trinh. After moving to Bạc Liêu, Vietnam in 1940, Khanh raised 10 beautiful children. In 1980, she moved to Houston, Texas where her family continued to grow—Khanh had 18 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Khanh loved reading novels as a young girl. Later in life, she enjoyed watching Chinese soap operas and American game shows. Khanh found joy in cooking and watching after her grandchildren. She was a generous person who was dedicated to her family and loved providing for others.

Khanh was the cornerstone of her family as she leaves behind a big family who will miss her. Khanh is survived by her children Nam and wife Tuyet, Ha and husband Dat, Linh and husband Thai, Kiet and wife Hanna, Ngan and husband Nguyen, Hong, Howard and wife Phuong, and Le; son-in-law Son; sister-in-law Hon; grandchildren Lien, Jeff and wife Julie, Steve and wife Linda, Vi, Phong, Trang, Jackson, Stephanie, John, Julia and fiancé Andy, June and husband Brian, Gordon, Victoria, Bryan, Tim, Hannah, Nathan, and Zachary; and great grandchildren Calvin, Duyen, Nghi, Taylor, Tiffany, Brandon, Trent, Dat, Katelin, Thinh, Huy, Everly, and Harper. She is preceded in death by her husband, Nhu Trinh; children Chieu and Nga; and four brothers.

Khanh lived a long and happy life surrounded by loved ones.

Her family wishes to thank everyone for their kind expressions of sympathy, prayers, and acts of kindness extended to them during this time of bereavement. They ask that in lieu of flowers, please donate to the Vietnamese temple, Chùa Viên Thông Tự, or to the Lustgarten Garden Foundation for Pancreatic Research.
