Thuvan Nguyen's Obituary
Ms. Thuvan Nguyen, age 75, passed away Sunday, August 25, 2019.
Thuvan was born in Long Xuyen, Vietnam. She moved to the United States in 1975 with her husband and three children. Though a highly respected math teacher in Vietnam, she had to start fresh upon her arrival in the US.
She immediately set out to improve her English and to get a degree in computer science. She worked at McDonald’s while doing this and raising her family. Upon finishing her degree, she went to work as a contractor at the Department of Transportation. She remained there until her retirement in 2009.
She is best known for the courage she demonstrated to get her family to the United States so that her three children might have a better life and future.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the temple where the monks caring for her transition are located: Chua Lien Hoa, 6510 Lake Drive, Charlotte, NC 28215.
James Funeral Home is serving the family and condolences may be sent to them through our website at www.jamesfuneralhomelkn.com.
