Ku K'Paw Paw, 12, of Emmaus, died April 21, 2019 in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia surrounded by her family. Born in Thailand, she was the daughter of Ah Paung and Jamie K'Paw. She was a 7th grade student at Lower Macungie Middle School. She was a member of Whitehall Mennonite Church.

Beautiful Ku K (or Cookie) was a beloved daughter, cousin, sister, friend, student, and patient, and she was a treasure to many. She was a talented artist, a feisty and fun-loving young woman, a caring soul, and she trusted the Lord with all her heart. She was a brave fighter and the strongest person any who had the privilege to know her have ever known.

We love you darling Ku K and we will see you in heaven one day very soon. You were our light and our lives were richer for having you in them. We weep for our loss but we rejoice in your homecoming.

She is survived by her loving parents; sister, Julia Paw Paung; maternal grandparents, Yee Yee Win and Kyi Tun; paternal grandparents, Naw Mu Baung and Hla Myint; 2nd family, Marla Sell and her parents, Myra and Dennis Sell; many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. She was predeceased by her grandfather, Thaw Dah.
