Thuy Bui is remembered with love and sadness by those whose lives she touched. News and obituary references indicate that she passed away before the death of Kevin Scott Smith, her former partner and the father of their three daughters. While her loss remains part of her family’s story, publicly available information about her life and passing in New Canaan, Connecticut, is limited.
Thuy’s connection with Kevin began when they met while attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Together, they raised three daughters, building a family whose shared experiences would remain meaningful long after their relationship changed. The loss of a parent leaves an absence that words cannot easily describe, and the memories of the time they shared can become especially precious as the years pass.
As a mother, Thuy holds an important place in her daughters’ lives and family history. The influence of a parent often continues through the lessons, traditions and moments of care that children carry with them. Even when details of a person’s life are not widely documented, the relationships they built can speak to the lasting significance of their presence.
Thuy’s memory is also connected to the wider story of her family, including the challenges and changes they experienced over time. Remembering someone who has passed away can bring both sadness and gratitude: sadness for the years and moments that cannot be recovered, and gratitude for the love and memories that remain. For those closest to Thuy, her memory is personal and cannot be measured by public recognition or written tributes alone.
In loving memory of Thuy Bui, heartfelt sympathy goes to her daughters, relatives and everyone who continues to hold her in their thoughts. May the memories they shared bring comfort in difficult moments, and may her place in their family story remain cherished through the years.
