Please join us in celebrating the life of our beloved Cindy Kieu Nguyen. A visitation service will be held at Westminster Memorial Park Mortuary on Friday, July 3 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. with the first hour for family only.
Due to COVID-19, only 50 guests will be allowed at a time inside the building during the viewing. The family requests that those who attend wear masks or face coverings and maintain 6-feet physical distance when possible.
Due to even more strict COVID-19 restrictions in Oregon, the viewing, mass, and burial services will be limited to a maximum of 25 guests and will be for family only.
We created this memorial to celebrate the life of Cindy Kieu Nguyen. Collecting your stories and memories here will offer us great comfort. As we plan gatherings, we will post invites. Thank you for contributing to this lasting memorial.

Cindy Kieu Nguyen was born on September 21st, 1985 to Viet and Kim Kieu in Escondido, CA. The family moved to Portland, OR a year later. She has 3 younger sisters: Christine, Tina, and Trini. Cindy attended Century High School and played varsity basketball as a freshman. She later attended Portland State University and then moved to California, graduating from San Joaquin Valley College's School of Dental Hygiene in 2013. Since then, she worked as a dental hygienist treating all of her patients with her bright personality and friendliness.
In 2008, she met Christopher Nguyen in Las Vegas and they got married in 2015. They went on to bring two beautiful boys into the world, Caleb and Christian, aka "Boom Boom" and "Bam Bam". With them, she shared her passion for sports and love of visiting Disneyland while wearing their favorite Mickey Mouse attire. She never missed a chance to get everyone together to just eat, hang out and crack jokes to everyone present.
For anyone who knew Cindy, they would know that she was one of the most welcoming, personable, charismatic, compassionate, and badass people out there. She was a mom, daughter, wife, sister, niece, cousin, and friend and she will be forever missed. If family or friends needed anything, she was always willing to help because her loved ones were the most important facet to her. A dedicated and loving wife to Chris and an amazing and incredible mother to 3 year-old Caleb and 8 month-old Christian, she was taken from us way too soon. We are all devastated by the sudden loss of this amazing and beautiful person, who would light up the room as soon as she walked through the door.
Services will be announced once the family has determined a date, though visitation may be limited due to COVID-19. The family appreciates any donations that will go towards the memorial service.

The first time was in December 2016 at Buffalo Wild Wings to watch football, the beginning of many such hangouts. Cindy was about 5 months pregnant with Caleb at the time. Later we would go over to Chris and Cindy’s and play with Caleb and eat, drink, watch football/basketball or movies. Occasionally go out to eat or go to Dave & Buster’s. We also went to Palm Springs to celebrate her 33rd birthday. It was easy and comfortable. We became fast friends. In the short time that I knew her, she was very outspoken, confident, open and welcoming. Always wanting to get people together to have a good time. Great at peer pressuring you to drink. Great at her job. We talked about marriage, family and work. It was clear that family meant everything to her, especially her two boys. The last time I saw her was to introduce our sons right before the shelter in place order. I wish I got to see her again.
It's hard to believe you're gone. Rest in peace Cindy. We love you, and we will miss you. We will always be here for Chris, Caleb, and Christian. less

You know as well as I do that we were perfect BP partners as we traded seafood and veggies from our pots. On hot days or cold, that was our spot. I enjoyed all the last minute hang outs on our days off just to eat, chill, have boba and take the kiddos out. I’m going to miss you so much!! My heart aches so much, but I hope that you are resting in peace and know that I will always be here for the boys and my bro. You live on in our memories and the boys and we will never forget you! I love you, always! ❤️ less

It still feels like it’s all a bad dream and you’re still here with us. The first time we’ve met, we talked about the Blazers and we just clicked. You were one of the few girls that could hold a sports conversation with me. I loved that about you. I remember going to some Blazers playoff games with you and we would cheer our team on to the point that we lost our voices. I remember you always bragging about how soft your skin is so I gave you the nickname “Charmin” ultra soft! Thank you for always being real and being a great friend. I’ll never forget all the times we would tease each other and give each crap but at the end of the day, we knew we would always have each other’s back. I’ll miss you my dear friend. You better have my beer and those thunder sticks ready cause we’ll be cheering our team together again someday. Til then, Rest In Peace my Charmin! less

I want to laugh and think of all the fun times we had together as a family. I remember when I first met you I thought “Wow Chris has such a pretty tall Korean girlfriend” and then one day I heard you say something in Vietnamese and I asked aren’t you Korean?!!! And you laughed! And from that moment on you became family. You are always so fun to be around and so easy to talk to. I remember the fun times we took shots together as a family and our funny drinking experience together in Vegas and so many more memories. But beyond that You and Chris have always been there for me and especially Liv and John. I knew you both before you even became parents. Then along came little Caleb and beautiful Christian. I knew you would be such a great mama because of the love I’ve seen you share with my kids. Your love and kindness of always reaching out and being here for your family is beyond this world. I miss your laugh, the kids miss you so much. They will always remember you as their pretty fun sweet auntie. I love and miss you so much and just know that we will always be here for Chris and the boys while you watch over us from heaven. You will always be my Pretty tall Korean sister and We will never forget you. less
