Vimolluk “Oot” Tiyaamornwong Vimolluk “Oot” Tiyaamornwong, age 81, passed away on September 21, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones. She is survived by her devoted husband, Kamol; her children Vanessa (Shawn), Kevin (Pam), and Veleda (Clint); and her beloved grandchildren Leo, Milo, Kono, Kaeden, Ginny, Reed, and Jase. Oot was born on September 29, 1943, in Bangkok, Thailand, to Pon and Chawanee Sutakul. One of seven children, she grew up in a close-knit family and went on to graduate from Chulalongkorn University with a degree in accounting. During her university years, she was active in the marching band and swim team, and she formed friendships that she treasured for a lifetime. Her journey brought her to the United States, where she joined her sister and best friend, Vilaiwan “Eed” Sirisambhand. In time, she met and married the love of her life, Kamol Tiyaamornwong, and together they settled in Monterey County before moving to the Central Valley. Side by side, they raised three children and built a successful group of restaurants. Oot and Kamol often said that as long as they worked together, they could accomplish anything. They instilled in their children the values of hard work, humility, perseverance, and unwavering love for one another. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Oot dedicated her life to family. She believed family extended far beyond bloodlines, and her generosity touched countless lives. Her home was a place of welcome for nieces, nephews, and children of family friends who came to study and build new lives in the United States. Her kitchen was always open, her table always had room for one more, and her hospitality left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She will be remembered for her generous spirit, her love of life, and the joy she found in gathering family together. Her greatest happiness came from time spent with her children and grandchildren, who were the pride of her life. Even in her most challenging days, she never complained and never gave up. Oot’s legacy of love, resilience, and hospitality will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her. Visitation will be held Saturday September 27, 2025 at 9:00 am at the Wat Brahmacariyakaram Temple 4485 S. Orange Ave., Fresno Ca 93725 with Traditional Buddhist Thai Services.
