Shortly thereafter they immigrated to the United States and settled in Houston, Texas. For over 50 years, Houston was their home. It was there they successfully opened several restaurants and more importantly to her, started their family. She enjoyed meeting friends and family for friendly games of mahjong and dining out, trying different ethnic foods. She loved preparing home cooked meals, especially Cantonese-style soups, for family. Later in her life, she was blessed with the opportunity to travel with her children, grandchildren and siblings, exploring numerous destinations
She is survived by her husband, Wing; three children, Michael, Monalisa and Marcus; daughters-in-law, Lynn and Tien-Tien; son-in-law, Anthony; several siblings, nephews, nieces, cousins and extended family members. She is predeceased by her parents and older brother.
