With profound sadness, we announced the passing of Syvay Phongsavanh, our loving & devoted grandmother, mother, & friend to all whose lives she touched. On June 8, 2023, at the age of 78 she received her wing in heaven at Baptist Hospital, Fort Smith, AR, after a long battle of multiple illnesses.
Born on February 19, 1945, in Laos. She immigrated to the U.S with her husband and kids to give them a better life. She originally lived in Oklahoma City and later moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas where she resides. She worked at Tyson Food and retired after 24 years.
She lived a full life as a wonderful mother, grandmother, friend, and dedicated employee. She loved gardening and spending time with her family. She was an exceptional mother and grandmother. She cared deeply for her family, not out of obligation, but it was because of who she was. She instilled good value in her children and grandchildren which have served them well. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts. Syvay is survived by her son, Lamphone, and a daughter, KhaiKham, and 7 grand kids, and 8 great-grand kids.
