Sayfonh Sykhanethong, 81, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 15, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was the devoted wife of Dam Sykhanethong. Together, they embarked on a new chapter of life, immigrating to the United States over 40 years ago and making Massachusetts their home.
Born on June 12, 1943, in Laos, Sayfonh was raised and educated in Laos before beginning her journey to America. She worked diligently in manufacturing, most recently at C&K in Watertown, where she earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues before her well-deserved retirement.
Sayfonh cherished her family above all else. In addition to her husband Dam Sykhanethong, she is survived by her daughter Boualoy Keovongsa of Lowell, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense joy and pride.
You are welcome to attend her calling hours on Wednesday from 3 pm until 7 pm at the McDonough Funeral Home 14 Highland Street, Lowell, MA 01852. Her funeral will begin at 8 am at the funeral home followed by procession to Merrimack Cremation Service, 10 Henry Clay Drive, Merrimack, NH. www.mcdonoughfuneralhome.com
