Funeral Fund for Mor Hang

Dear family and friends:

It is with a heavy heart to say that our dear mother, grandmother, sister has left this world on the morning of Monday, October 14, 2019. Our mother Mor Hang and her friend Rosey Vang were tragically shot multiple times on a rural area on Siskiyou County a few miles away from Dorris, California that Mor had been occupying for a while. The act of violence is unknown and this case is still on-going by the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office.

On Thursday, October 17, an autopsy was conducted in Yreka. The cause of death for both women was attributed to one or more gunshot wounds. The manner of death was homicide. ​

According to Sheriff Jon Lopey, “The department’s Major Crimes Unit detectives have been working diligently this week to solve this case. Evidence was recovered and leads have been developed but we still have a lot of work to do on this case. Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the SCSO’s 24-hour Dispatch Center at (530) [phone redacted].”

Our mother Mor was born on June 15, 1938 in Laos. She is remembered as a hardworking person who had more laughs to give than tears. People always walked away with a smile after a conversation with her. She was lovable, humorous, silly, and cheerful.

Mor loved to spend time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren that continuously brought her joy. She was the grandma that everyone loved, sought happiness from, and spoke with when times felt hard. People knew her as a person who was strong and persistent throughout her entire life but sadly, on that morning she could not overcome her injuries despite her fight to survive.

Mor Hang leaves behind 2 brothers and sisters-in-law, 4 sisters and brothers-in-law,  2 sons and daughters-in-law, 2 daughters and sons-in-law, and many grandchildren and great grandchildren who loves and misses her dearly.

With the sudden loss in our family and time of darkness, we are seeking for donations of any amount that will help with the cost of bringing Mor back to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and for the funeral. Any and every amount is greatly appreciated. If you would like to help in any other way, please feel free to reach out through the listed contact here on this specific GoFundMe website. We all thank you for your love, support, and kindness at this time of grieving.

The funeral will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the Lakeview Funeral Home from Saturday, November 23, 2019 at 9:00 AM through Monday, November 25, 2019 until 10:00 AM. 

My family & I sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your time and donation.
