Kaitlynn Minh Thu Nguyen

Our darling angel Kaitlynn “Minh Thu” Nguyen tragically left us suddenly on March 8, 2024 in Taos Ski Valley New Mexico. She left behind a loving grandpa, “Ong Noi” Tien Nguyen; grandma, “Ba Noi” Tram Dang; grandfather, “Ong Ngoai” Duc To; grandmother, “Ba Ngoai” Lien Phan; father, “Ba” Kenny Nguyen; mother, “Me” Thuy To; sister, “Chi Hai“ Katie Nguyen; uncle, “Chu” Ethan Nguyen; auntie, “Co” Evelyn Chang; uncle “Cau”Toan To; cousin “Chi” Vy To; and many members of her extended family from her Great-Great-Grandmother to her cousins, all of whom miss her so so much.

As an 8th grader at Harmony School of Innovation, she was an Honors Student with multiple Certificates of Excellence in Science Fairs, Speak Up Speak Out State Competition (2024 1st place), Speak Up Speak Out DFW Regional Competition (2024 3rd place, 2023 2nd place). She was a member of the National Junior Honors Society and received numerous medals.

Kaitlynn loved school, her friends and her teachers. She also loved traveling, practicing karate, and playing piano. As if she and her family knew her time on Earth would be so short, she and her family traveled the world and our country extensively, visiting Viet Nam, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Korea, England, France, Belgium, Canada (Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec), Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, Seattle, Portland, California, Nevada, Maine, New York, Niagara Falls, Boston, Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida (Miami, Orlando, Disney World), Alabama (Orange Beach), New Orleans, and other places.

After almost 14 years on Earth bringing love, happiness, and joy to her family, relatives, and those whose lives she touched, Kaitlynn embarked on her last journey. Under the sunny morning of March 8th, 2024, wearing a white jacket, from the top of the Summit at Taos Ski Valley, our Little Angel skied her way back to Heaven and into God’s Eternal and Loving Embrace.

We love and miss you so much, dear Kaitlynn “Minh Thu”! We hold you and your memories in our hearts forever until we can hold each other again in Heaven.
