A dedicated, caring mother and grandmother, Kieu Le treasured her children and grandchildren. She cherished every moment with them, and would put them before herself. She will always be remembered for her kindness and devotion towards her loved ones. Her perseverance and strong will allowed her to live a long, fulfilling life. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her.
