Sister Marie Marthe of Divine Providence Portieux, whose real name was Do Thi Suon, has passed away in the Mekong Delta’s An Giang Province.

Sister Marie, a nun who raised many orphans including the current Vice Chancellor of Germany - Philipp Roesler, died at the age of 82 at a retirement home in Cu Lao Gieng in Cho Moi District, according to the obituary of the Divine Providence Portieux.
Her funeral followed her death at the monastery chapel in Cu Lao Gieng on December 29.
Sister Marie Marthe is the character Tuoi Tre mentioned in an article on November 3, 2009, when we traced back to the place where Philipp Roesler, the then German Minister of Health, lived during his childhood.
Marie Marthe is known as a nun dedicated to nurturing orphans, teaching English to children and adults at the monastery of Providence Council of Soc Trang in 1973 because she was very good at both English and French.
