Nguyen Thi Dua, 93, of Tucson, AZ, passed away of old age peacefully in her sleep at home on November 11, 2025.

She was born in Saigon, Vietnam in 1932 and was the eldest of three siblings. She and her husband Lam Binh Con managed a very successful import/export business in Vietnam until the fall of Saigon to communism in 1975, after which they migrated to the USA in 1983 with the family and started over.
