Obituary of Doa K. Nguyen

Doa K. Nguyen of Swedsboro, passed away at Cooper Hospital on May 10, 2023 in Camden at 76 years.

Doa was born and raised in Quang Binh, Vietnam where he served as an officer in the South Vietnamese government.  Following the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam war in 1975, Doa emigrated to America where he was instrumental in starting the Vietnamese Buddhist community in the Washington DC area.  This is an area of joy for him and he continued to be an active leader in developing and growing this community until the end of his days.  Doa spent the bulk of his career as a social worker with the Catholic Social Services.  His primary focus was on helping Vietnamese families resettle into the US and helping them thrive through education, job placement, and community connection. 

He is survived by his children Hieu, Duc, Hanh, Thao, Nam and his ten grandchildren.

Relatives & friends are invited to the Visitation from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM at Falco Caruso & Leonard Funeral Home, 6600 Browning Road in Pennsauken.
