Nga Thi Ly

Ly Thi Nga , age 94, passed away peacefully on Friday evening, November 27, 2020, at her residence in Toronto, Canada.

She was born August 18, 1926 (adjusted August 18, 1929), in Can Tho, Vietnam. She was 94 years old.

She was a loving mother, grandmother to three and great-grandmother to four.  She leaves behind her son, Thong Ba Tran; daughter-in-law, Van Thu Mai; grandchildren: Andy (Khanh Duy) Tran, Megan (My Khanh) Tran-Vuong, Bill Vuong, Michelle Tran, and Simon Utkala; great-grandchildren: William Vuong, Sydney Vuong , Jackson Tran, and Maxon Utkala.

She was loved fully and closely until the day she left us. She loved to garden, eat, cook, and keep strong connections with friends. She was well known in the Vietnamese community for making her delicious Vietnamese Rice Wine Dessert (Cơm Rượu) for many years. She loved children and hugs and kisses with them. She was a dedicated caregiver to her grandchildren who will remember her very deeply.

Ly Thi Nga was always a strong, fearless, and independent woman and was able to pass these qualities onto her family. She will continue to inspire her family to go after what they want with a full heart and to be strong willed. She taught future generations about humility and less fortunate beginnings but also how to enjoy the present moment in the company of loved ones especially over delicious meals.

She leaves behind many friends who were close to her like family and she will be sadly missed by them all.

She lived a long and full life and has now finally reached peace and her final resting place.

A private visitation will be held with immediate family members on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2020.
