Lam Khut was born on May 10, 1948 in Battambang, Cambodia to Chea, Touch and Srey, Khut. She married Pech Chy (d.), her childhood sweetheart in 1966. After moving to Chicago in 1985, Lam Khut began working for Watersaver Facucet Co. for a decade and then as a homemaker. Over the years, the couple welcome eight children into their home and Lam Khut set about teaching them her humorous, kind, and compassionate ways and her love for nature. Her children remember her as a loving, generous and resilient mother who encouraged them to always pursue their goals.
Lam Khut was an accomplished seamstress and cook; she often spent her time designing clothes, sharing recipes with peers and neighbors, as well as tending to her garden. In the words of her grandchildren she will be remembered as a “bad-ass, super funny and loving” individual who enjoyed the little things in life and was passionate about her family.
