Loyal, Fiesty and Funny

NeNee Namvansy, 41, of Richfield, MN, passed away on October 16, 2024. Born on February 28, 1983, NeNee was known for her vibrant presence and generous spirit. She was truly the life of the party.

NeNee attended Willard Elementary and graduated from Chaska High School before furthering her education at the University of Wisconsin Stout. She brought joy and laughter to all who knew her, embodying a caring and loving nature that made her beloved by many.

She is survived by her father, Davon Namvansy(MN); sisters, Dow Ritter(IL) and Anna Namvansy (Eric) (NC); niece, Kiana (Ben) Waters(OK); and nephews, Dillon Ritter(IL) and Kaden Wenda(NC). NeNee was preceded in death by her mother, Saysamone Namvansy.

NeNee will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing her, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

Our forever Fairy

Nenee lived a “Fairy life”. She did what she wanted and rarely let someone coerce her to change her ways.

I remember hearing that all the magic and power a fairy had was in their wings. So it would make sense that (as the myth goes) fairies would protect their wings because their life depended upon it. And if their wings were removed they’d have much shorter lives.

Lupus and Leukemia “clipped” her wing, made her incomplete, but that didn’t stop her from living the way she wanted to - like that fairy is not going to stop living like a fairy because it lost some part of or both of its wings. It’s still going to live … as a fairy. She did that.

Celebration of LIfe

November 13, 2024

Jackson Town Hall 1091 130th St W, Shakopee, MN 55379, USA

We are celebrating NeNee and her colorful life and personality. She would want this to be a happy event and not a sad one. In honor of her wishes, there is no need to dress in formal funeral/memorial attire but casual. She would want us to be comfortable while celebrating her. NeNee's favorite color was neon green; she loved magical/mystical fairies, and if you'd like to add that element to your attire in honor of her memory, we encourage it.
