We are devastated to announce the passing of our matriarch. The most courageous and strongest woman we knew. Vanthan Mean born June 5, 1939 in Cambodia was orphaned at the tender age of 4. It was at that very young age her strong will to survive molded the woman we knew and adored. Within her journey she learned to speak an impressive number of languages and bore 10 children. In 1983 she was fortunate to bring her family to America where she spent countless hours with family and at temple. She was a very spirited and independent woman and will best be remembered by her endless storytelling. On Saturday January 15th she passed peacefully while listening to her favorite song, Celica by Jay Chan.

Thank you, Mom, for everything you sacrificed for us. You no longer have to fight. Please rest now. We will continue to carry your torch with all the life lessons you instilled in us. We love you always and are forever grateful.

Her legacy lives on through her last surviving daughter, 3 sons and countless grand and great grandchildren.

We welcome any and all donations, prayers and helping hands during this time of grief.
