Carolyn Huynh

It is with great sadness that the family of Cong (Carolyn) Kim  Huynh announces her passing on September 30, 2024, at the  age of 88.  

She was born in Saigon, Vietnam on February 3, 1936 to now  deceased parents, Nguyen Thi Nhung and Huynh Thieu Tu.  While living in Vietnam, she met and married her beloved husband An (Andy) Huynh on March 6, 1957. They had three  children, Sarah Dobberstein (Paul), Steven Huynh and James  Huynh (Dawn). In 1975, Carolyn and Andy fled Vietnam with their  family, finally settling in Blue Earth, MN. Together they were long term owners and operators of Andy’s Oriental Cafe. She continued residing in Blue Earth until the passing of her beloved  husband in 2020 when she moved to St. Louis, MO to live with  her daughter.  

She leaves her family behind including her many grandchildren  and great-grandchildren – Sean Dobberstein (Brooke) with their  children Elliana, Noah and Brayden; Tiffany Huynh; Anthony  Huynh (Rachel); Pam Fisher (John) with their children Eleanor and  Alyssa; Zachary Huynh; and Pauline Huynh.  

She is survived also by her brother Danh Huynh (Quynh) and  sisters-in-law Ngoc (Mike) Sorenson, Nga (Mike) Augustine,  Katherine Huynh, and Andrea Huynh (Thomas Dinh). 

In lieu of flowers, please make online gifts in memory of Carolyn to the Dementia Society of America.
