Ty Dang's Obituary
Ty Dang, 83, of Merchantville, NJ, passed away suddenly on May 13, 2023, in Cooper Hospital, Camden, NJ surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
She was born on November 15, 1939, in Hanoi, Vietnam, to the late Khue Dang and Tan Nguyen. She had one younger brother, two older brothers and one older sister. She lost her father at a young age, her mother raised the family, and later brought all, but the oldest son, to reside in Hoa Hung, Saigon, Vietnam in 1954. She met her husband through a mutual friend, they married and inherited two children (LeAnh & Tuan) from her husband’s previous marriage. Together, they have three additional children (Thanh, Hoang, and Quynh).
In 1973, a freak auto-accident robbed her of her loving husband, while still carrying their youngest daughter, Quynh. Through sheer will and internal strength, she overcame the grief, brought her daughter to life, and raised her family.
After the fall of Saigon, Ty was determined to give her children an opportunity for a better future. In 1982, she sent her oldest son Thanh, who was only 14 at the time, to the US. Son, her youngest son, would follow 3 years later. In 1992, Ty and her youngest daughter were the last to arrive in the US and the family was finally reunited. She resided in South Jersey for the remainder of her life.
Ty was a devoted mother to her children: LeAnh Tran Blovett (Eddie), Tuan Tran (Dung Tran), Thanh Tran, Hoang Tran (Hoa Huynh), and Quynh Tran (Tam Nguyen). She was also a cherished grandmother to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will miss her dearly.
Ty will be remembered for her strength, kindness, generosity, selflessness, and her love for her family. Below are tributes from her family.
“She thought of others before herself. She is my backbone forever.” (Thanh Tran – Son)

“Mom. She always gave us the best support since our father passed away 50-years ago. She always took from us our sorrow, and sickness. She was always the first one, every time, to stand beside us. She raised us all, not just as Mom, but as Dad too. My heart broke apart after I learned she left us, but I’m happy for her because she will be with our father in heaven.” (Tuan Tran – son)
