Nguyen Thu Thuy passed away on January 29, 2011 at 12:40 PM at Swedish Hospital First Hill in Seattle.
She was diagnosed with lung cancer in March of 2010. At one point she was given only forty eight hours to live, however, she defied the odds and stayed with us for ten months. After spending seven months under hospice care, she came home to her family and enjoyed one more Christmas and New Years at home. Unfortunately, her cancer continued to progress and she spent her last week in the hospital where she was able to share a few words with friends and family until her final day.
Thuy was born in Saigon, Vietnam on September 13, 1967 where she lived until coming to America October 13, 1992. She resided in Santa Ana, California for two years until she moved to Seattle in 1994. She is survived by her daughter Susan Thao Nguyen, two brothers Son Nguyen and Tom Nguyen, and five sisters Nguyen Minh Nguyet Nguyen, Nguyen Ngoc Mai, Nguyen Ngoc Yen, Nguyen Hoan Phuc, and Nguyen Hoan Cash. She also had several brother and sister-in-laws, along with many nephews and one niece.
Thuy was a very independent person who lived life by her standards. She was also a generous person who was always willing to help family and friends in need. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
