Mon completed her high school in Cambodia. She married Ros Nhim in 1969 and together they had 5 children. Mon and her husband worked as farmers to support their family up until the civil war in Cambodia in 1975. Mon and her children fled to Thailand in 1979 to escape the conflict, and they became separated from her husband during the civil war.

Mon lived in Moose Jaw until her passing. Mon was very loving, giving, caring and kind, and her children and grandchildren were the center of her world. She loved every single one of them so much. She loved to feed and cook for people, with her signature dish being “Yeay” spring rolls. Mon loved to spend her time with her grandchildren. She also enjoyed travelling with her family, with her favourite method of travel being by cruise ship. Her most memorable trip was to go back to see her family in Cambodia.

What a beautiful picture of your Mom. She was always a pleasure to run into or see, she was a wonderful mother and grandmother which I seen first hand. Never wanted any babysitter or Daycare to watch her grand kids even at times when her arthritis was flared up she still managed to take care of business, she made the best spring rolls. I know that. She had a good sense of humor always would have a few laughs when we would see each other. You will be missed dearly Mon Chey, by your Dear Family and friends, you rest in peace now, you are so deserving. May God Bless you.
Thank you to you and Mike for all your support and Love during this time❤️
