Po Kam Chun's Obituary
Po Kam Chun was born on February 5, 1931 in Joong Shan, China. At the young age of 15, she was married to Mon Fay Chun. They were happily married for 54 years until her husband passed in 2001. They have three children, Beverly married to Ronald, Kearny married to Violet and their late daughter Linda married to Andrew. She was a grandmother to Tracie married to Wilson, Jonathan married to Heather, Kasey and Lauryn and a great grandmother to Xander and Jordan.
She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She worked hard in several sewing factories. She was a hard worker and a talented seamstress. Po Kam and her husband purchased a small grocery store in their neighborhood. She worked six and half days a week. Although she did not speak English fluently, she was able to do an excellent job managing the store while her husband worked at a restaurant. The customers loved her because she was always kind. She received lots of compliments on her lovely smile. With all her hard work, she was able to put all three children through college and help pay off the mortgage.
Po Kam was happy that she was able to travel internationally and within the United State. It was gratifying for her since she had worked so hard all her life. She loved spending time with her family and friends. She also loved trying new restaurants. She enjoyed her collection of cymbidium orchids and had a green thumb for gardening. She knitted and crocheted until she developed arthritis. Recent years, she walked twice a day for exercise.
Po Kam passed away peacefully and pain free on April 20, 2019. We were fortunate to celebrate her 88th birthday as a family!
