September 5, 1946 - June 10, 2026
OBITUARY
Our beloved grandmother Vieng Nasovann, lovingly known as “Ma,” passed away surrounded by family and love.
Born in Cambodia, Ma later immigrated to the United States as a refugee in search of a better life for her family. She eventually settled in Stockton, California, where she became widely known in the community as “The Fried Chicken Lady.” From her apartment on Kentfield and later at Jill Circle, Ma spent many years selling her famous fried chicken wings and papaya salad, feeding generations of family, friends, neighbors, and loyal customers with love and care.
To her grandchildren, Ma was more than a grandmother—she was a mother figure, protector, best friend, and the heart of our family. She cherished time with her grandchildren and found great joy in bringing loved ones together. In recent years, some of her happiest moments were spent camping, traveling, taking road trips, visiting Thailand, tending to her garden, and enjoying spontaneous casino trips and adventures with family.
Ma’s kindness, warmth, generosity, laughter, and unconditional love touched everyone who knew her. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she nourished, cared for, and brought together. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever held in our hearts.
