weeded, and harvested rice from a very young age. Throughout the Vietnam War, where her husband

was one of the many SGU soldiers, she farmed to support her family while her husband was away.

Sheng was a wonderful and loving mother and grandmother. Her way of showing her love was through

food. Whenever one of child comes by her house, she always asked them if they have eaten and would

set the table for a meal. Although she never worked, she never rest and can always be found tending to

her garden, doing yard work with her husband, and taken care of her household and helping with

grandchildren. She came to the United States with her husband Nou Cha and family in 1989.

She accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior in 1953 and baptized in 1963. She loved singing, reading her

Bible, prayed for her children, and attended church. Singing praises to her Lord and Savior and praying

are her two favorite things in life. She inspired her grandchildren to sing and do God’s work. She was an

active church member of the Kansas City Hmong Alliance Church that her husband Nou Cha Yang co-

founded until she passed away.

In April 24, 2022, Sheng suffered a hemorrhage stroke, which left her entire right side completely

paralyzed. She never fully recovered. She relied completely on her children for the last three years and

four months of her life. This left her sad and angry at times. She suffered countless loses in her life,

which left her a very independent woman. She taught her children love, compassion, kindness,

gentleness, generosity, and many other things in life. She’s the discipliner, whereas her husband was

the enforcer. She taught her children to love and give back to God. At an early age, she taught her
