Jasmine Lily Manivong, age 55, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family and friends on Friday, January 2, 2026.

Jasmine was born in 1970 in the country of Laos to Khamphong Douangphachanh and Saphanthong Douangphachanh. She moved to the United States in 1990, where she built a life rooted in love, resilience, and community. She later met her husband, Linthong Manivong, with whom she shared a deep and devoted partnership of over three decades. 

Jasmine was an incredibly strong woman, known for her fighting spirit and her remarkable ability to make anyone feel welcome. She truly never met a stranger, greeting life and people with openness, warmth, and kindness. 

She loved to travel—especially returning to her home country of Laos—and found joy in doing puzzles, cooking, dancing, and singing. Jasmine was happiest when surrounded by her friends and family, filling every space with laughter, music, and love. 

Jasmine is survived by her loving spouse - Linthong; her children - Jenny, Johnny, and Jack; her siblings - Dong Douangphachanh, Ta Douangphachanh, Tong Douangphachanh, La Douangphachanh, Long Douangphachanh, Air Douangphachanh, Nilaphong Siripanyo, Pit Douangphachanh, and Kack Douangphachanh; and her beloved mother - Saphanthong. 

Jasmine will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered for the boundless love she gave so freely to everyone around her.
