Sau Wah Wong - October 19, 1938 - March 05, 2024

Departed: 03/05/2024 (Boston)

Obituary Preview: Sau Wah Wong, of Newton MA passed away peacefully and was surrounded by her family at 85 years old, after years of battling with Parkinson’s disease at the West Arce skilled nursing home in Brockton on March 5th, 2024. She was a strong lady with determination and big dreams for herself and her family. Her biggest dream was to immigrate to the US and become an US citizen, and her dream was finalized and achieved in 2017. She is survived by her husband, Chau Wah Wong and her two children, Eric Wong and Emily Wong.

She was born in Palembang, Indonesia in 1938. When she was 16 years old, she traveled to China on her own to attend medical school with a full scholarship and to avoid an arranged marriage by family members. She graduated from Nanjing Medical College and completed her medical training with honor in 1965 and met her husband, Chau Wah Wong and had two children. Then in 1975, she took the entire family to immigrate to Hong Kong because of the “one child policy” of the Chinese Communist Government so that she would not be forced to give up any one of her children, and also to provide better opportunities for her family. After years of hard works and scarifies, she was finally able to immigrant to the US in 2011 and became an US citizen in 2017, and the whole family was once again reunited and living in MA ever since.

Our beloved mother loved to exercise, dancing, music and travel around the world and she will be missed dearly. Memoire: The journey of courage & scarifies

Deep in the calmest corner of my heart and soul is the precious memory of a very unusual lady – she was the light house of strength and perseverance – our mother. With her intelligence and circumspection, our mother created her own path in this often-treacherous life journey, which has left an imprint on our soul forever.

Our mother had big dreams and goals since she was little and always did all she can in her power to achieve them. When opportunities presented themself, and it did not matter how difficult or impossible as she was told by many others, she pursued them with all her heart. She wanted knowledges and be successful.

Our mother loved to seek knowledge and valued education all her life, and we can say that her life journey really set sailed when she was awarded with a full medical scholarship from one of the top medical schools in China. And the only way to get to this dream was to travel alone by boat to the heart of China and to study there by herself, far away from her birthplace in Indonesia at a very young age. Despite all the risks and dangers during the journey in the big open ocean and the loneliness studying in China being far away from her family, mother’s determinations did not falter. And after years of studies and hard works and trainings, our mother not only acquired the knowledge and techniques that were needed to graduate medical school with top honor, and she also became a famous and empathic medical doctor and a soul healer in China in the 60’s.

Faced with the uncertain political situation in China, and with a better opportunity presented to her, our very brave mother once again embraced this challenge and changed her life plan. Wanted to seek a better future for my sister and I, our mother had to let go her very successful career in practicing medicine and gave up her fame and fortunes of being a famous doctor in China and started from the bottom with virtually nothing when we moved to Hong Kong in 1975. They say time is like a river and for our mother time is ruthless as mother’s once delicate and skillful hands of an accomplished surgeon turned rough and stiff before our eyes because of the hard works. But she didn’t regret and never complained to any of us. She scarified herself to protect us from any harms and she was constantly teaching us to be strong and kind and dare to dream big,

and no matter how tough and difficult the situations are to always keep our faith and goals.

We all remember her laughter and her dancing in our humble home could make all the shadows and sadness disappeared. Each dish that she had ever made for us smelled so nice and tasted liked music from the orchestra! Her once skillful surgeon hands had become the hands to make dough for noodle dishes and to wipe dry her tears over the long and hard-working decades. But no matter, our mother had been the anchor of our family and our lighthouse during the darkest hours.

As days turned into years and decades, my sister and I grew up as well, and with education and hard work opportunities also bloomed like cherry blossom for the two of us. Our mother’s unconditional love to the family and perseverance had provided us with better a life, so we could hold our heads up and peruse our own dreams. She did not ask more wealth or fame for herself; she just wanted us to live a happy and meaningful life. Her dreams and ours had merged and cannot be separated.

Then with a terrible turn for her health, she suffered a stroke and the Parkinson’s diseases few years after. Her body betrayed her. Her arms & legs became limp, and the disease stole her voice too and she turned silence. The nursing home had become her refuge, home, a place with sterile walls and fluorescent lights. Even at the nursing home in poor conditions, her spirit would still shine. She smiled at my sister and I and her eyes were filled with memories.

Day after day, month after month and year after year, we visited her at the nursing home. Our hearts filled with words that we haven’t had the chance to tell her, but when she held our hands, her eyes told us about our precious memories in Hong Kong; watching sunrise and sun set, the jasmine flowers in our garden and the taste of the dumpling that she made, and we are loved. She was and will forever be our compass for love and determination.

Then in one quiet night, she let the God’s infinite wisdom to bring her home. She was gone and left us quietly. My Dad and my sister and I stood around her, the room felt so empty all a sudden and the air was getting thinner. But the gift that she left behind could still be felt and like an echo of her braveness, which deeply imprinted in our hearts.

we wonder if she is watching over us from the carpet in heaven. Maybe she would smile, knowing that all her scarifies had been repaid. All the memories of a beloved, tenacious, and elegant lady from a strict family – our mother.

We will miss our mother but will always remember that she taught us even in the darkest night the stars will always shine and be bright.

May Soot find eternal peace, and may her memory be a gift and blessing to all who mourn her loss. EULOGY

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, a woman who embodied love, generosity, and selflessness. Throughout her life, our dear mother showered us with endless affection, always putting the needs of others before her own. For example, when we were young going to buy McDonalds was a special treat since we could not afford it on a regular basis, she would buy it for the kids but not herself. Family was the core of our mother & #39s existence, and she cherished the moments spent with her children Jeannie, Henry, and Willy. Her daughter in-laws that she took in and adopted as her own daughters Lynh and Eng. Her grandchildren Kayla, Vyvy, Malana, and Jacob. She loved all of us above all else. What made her so special and dear to us Always serving others – loved to serve food to everyone at a party even if she is not the host, she could not help herself asking people and bringing them food and drink. Making the grandkids their favorites all the time, green onion/garlic/oil – jars of it, soy sauce chicken, juy yim pork, eggs every day when they were kids and most recently for Kayla every morning before school, fried shrimp, har gow, steamed eggs, chow foon, lobster sauce. Har Gow parties not allowing anyone to pay for anything anytime – hated it and she didn’t work but we don’t know where she got all that money from. Always giving you money for no reason or push you to reimburse for example if we bought something for the house for say $20, she goes here’s $100 to cover it. You couldn’t leave her house without food, bags of food she cooked and prepared into containers especially for Jeannie since she doesn’t cook and bags of vegetables not 1 or 2 bundles, like 6 or 7, you’re always thinking where I am going to fit this, I still have vegetables from last time….

She was like the Mayor-ess of Chinatown, never a trip when she didn’t know someone or wasn’t stopped to chat, so we knew it would always be a couple hours shopping in Chinatown basically a Social Butterfly. Loved talking about prices of vegetables at every store and knew where to go for which vegetable at what store just to save .02 cents a bundle, walk every aisle and everything went into plastic veggie bags. Always a smile or hearty laugh, overflowing with love and happiness no matter where she was and who she met, that’s why we loved going with her even if was to Chinatown, creating Goofy pictures with the kids, taking the kids when they were younger to Mission Park and then going to Tremont St Pizza, shopping at Stop and Shop. Calling us to show up the at the house to attend an event to “bai” no idea what for just show up on this day by this time. We are blessed and happy that we were able to cherish time with her during her living years: Taking her on vacations with us since 2007 every year and visiting places she would never take herself.

Most memorable trip was in 2021 driving to Florida, all 10 people packed into a Conundrum van. It took us 33 hours and every time we stopped and opened the side door it was the ASIAN INVASION group coming out. Every family dinner, events, birthdays, graduations, celebrations – but still would not let us pay, babysitting all the grandkids when they were young without hesitation – and over feeding all the kids with everything under the sun. Comedian with the grandkids, crack a joke then stick her tongue out and look away as if she hadn’t been the one to say it. Loved watching Chinese family feud and laughed throughout the house watching it.

Mom’s Fav’s and pet peeves. Colors: Red, Pink, with black pants or vest, flower designs on her shirts or at least some kind of sparkly bling. Always fashionable and put together even if in the hospital and wanted to make sure her hair wasn’t sticking up. Food: Guess.. Chinese food, dim sum, lobster, crab, chicken feet, chicken wingtips, white rice, bagels, bread. Purse and pockets always had candy, cookies or snacks for anyone especially grandkids in case they were hungry. Mah Jong in her years prior to 2021 – She would end a call just to play because she was in the middle of a round Cantonese movies, You Tube

Barkmakian Jewelers – loved gold, diamonds. Did not like Goo Goo’s red BMW ride, it was way too bouncy and gave her a headache. Her unfiltered comments about people, if she thought you were fat, she would laughingly tell you or if you looked old, she would say to us they look really old now. Mom (Nen Nen) we are going to miss you with all of our hearts and souls. You created a family bond that will never be duplicated, we simply can’t imagine a day going by without you asking us if we had lunch or dinner yet, a day hearing your happy voice no matter how you felt, a day asking about every single person in the family, a day you would talk about who came to visit you or took you out, a day about making sure we get enough rest, a day making sure we went to work or to school, a day if we wanted to have lunch or dinner even if we were just dropping off things, a day making to work or to school, a day if we wanted to have lunch or dinner even if we were just dropping off things, a day making us feel loved all the time. You made it through a lot for us, broken shoulder, kidney bypass surgery, blood infection, a broken back and gave us one precious year with you before leaving us. We all believed you would watch Kayla and Vyvy graduate college, watch Malana and Jacob graduate high school, send off Malana to college and ride with her since she was getting her license, attend their events and concerts, have many more house parties and dinners with all of us, vacation with us just one more time, one last hug, one last chance for us to say “I Love You”…

We were not ready for this, it just came too fast, you visited your brother’s house spent time with them, went shopping for Chinese New Year’s with Henry, you looked and acted too good that day, perky as usual, laughing and talking up a storm right up to the last minutes reminding us to get the ginger and vegetables from the house. I’m sorry mom we couldn’t save you, we tried, we really did, getting you into the ER but it didn’t make the difference. I’m sorry how much pain you must have endured during your last few minutes, the only solace we have is that you left on your own terms being independent and did not suffer for days/weeks/months which we know you did not want. We will remember you for all the memories you left us and love you gave us each and every day. We know you have found peace joining Yeh Yeh, WE LOVE YOU!!
