Along with Chiung-tung, she was a beloved member of the Richmond Annex Senior Center, where she was a cherished member of the mahjong club. She loved Santa Rosa, music, mahjong, cooking, art and flowers. Her adorable laugh and positive outlook on life was her trademark. All her family sorely misses her.
