Obituary

Mrs. Mai Pham was born in 1925 in Bach Mai, Ha Noi, Vietnam.  Surrounded by her children and grandchildren, she passed away at the age of 89 at 2AM on Sunday, March 22, 2015 in Seattle, WA.

Mrs. Mai Pham was born by her parents Mr. Pham Van Duc and Mrs. Nguyen Thi Tram.  Her father passed away when she was 9 years old.  She was raised up by her Grandparents and had many beautiful memories about her Grandparents.  She had two brothers Pham Loi, Pham Van Duc, and four sisters Pham Huong, Pham Muon, Pham Van, Pham Nhan.  In 1954, she migrated from Ha Noi to Saigon in Southern Vietnam.  She met her husband Mr. Dong Sin in Saigon and married to him for 52 years until he passed away in July 2011.  In 1988, she immigrated to United States and since lived in Seattle, Washington. 

In Saigon, she started her own business and became a very successful woman.  Raising up by her strong Catholic Grandparents had shaped her to be a compassionate girl at young age and remained all the way until her passing.  Throughout her life, she reached out and helped those who were less fortunate and needed help.  She was a kind-hearted woman and involved in many funding activities for building churches for remote villages in Vietnam,  drilling water wells in remote areas in Vietnam,  supporting elderly priests, providing scholarship for blind children, helping to bury the poor, and many more charity contributions.  During her retirement, she was a good cook, raised up her grandchildren and continued to participate in charity work.
