Nguyệt Thị Vũ Kamb, known affectionately as “Donna,” passed away peacefully on November 5, 2025, in Columbia, Tennessee. Born on June 20, 1937, in Cù Đà village, Hanoi, Vietnam, Nguyệt lived a life marked by resilience, love, and dedication to her family and community.
She was the cherished daughter of the late Vũ Văn Hoàn and Nguyễn Thị Mùi and is survived by her brother, Đỗn Vũ, and sister, Hoàn Vũ Nguyễn.

She became a proud naturalized citizen in 1974, embracing her new home while maintaining a deep connection to her Vietnamese heritage. As a skilled seamstress, she not only provided for her family but also enriched her community with her craftsmanship.

A Buddhist by faith, Nguyệt found solace and guidance in the teachings of Buddha. Her spirituality was reflected in the way she lived her life, always striving for peace and harmony in her relationships and surroundings.

Sewing was another pastime through which she expressed her creativity, creating beautiful garments and gifts for her loved ones.
