Tong Se Ly
Tong Se Ly, known by everyone as "Lee", age 70 of Celina, passed away on Saturday, August 14, 2021, at Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati surrounded by family. He was born on November 15, 1950, to the late Song Teck and Taing Ngin Ly in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. On October 15, 1973, he married Kim Eng Gov who survives in Celina.
He is survived by his daughter, Siv (Dan) Dresher of Springboro, Sue (Bamphot) Huon of Mason, May (Tavis) Wehrhahn of Celina, nine grandchildren: Katie, Kiara, Emma, Dani, Caleb, Grace, Avery, Ezra and Daphne, brothers and sisters-in-law Tong Key (Sokha Huy) Ly of Celina and Tong Nam Ly of Celina, Sisters and brother-in-law Cha Cheng Ly (Sarun Nou), Cha Geck and Taing Bunly all of Cambodia.

He loved to tell stories and jokes. He lived life to the fullest and had a smile that could light up the whole room. He enjoyed playing cards especially Chinese poker, fishing and finding the best bargains at a garage sale. His pride and joy were his grandkids. He has touched so many lives and will be missed dearly.
