Edna Lee

Edna Lee, age 95, of Brookline, MA, passed away peacefully on February 27, 2026. She was born on May 10, 1930, in San Francisco, CA, to Hung Yum Ung and Hom (Hai) Ung. Edna was predeceased by her loving husband, Edward, and is lovingly remembered by her daughters: Joy (Lee) Ricciuto, her predeceased husband Anthony, June (Lee) Kongruengkit and her husband Isara, Patricia (Lee) Chen and her husband Ed, and Cynthia and Kathryn Lee. She was a devoted grandmother to Jessica Ricciuto-Uga, Derek Ricciuto, Jennifer (Kongruengkit) Young, Jonathan Kongruengkit, Jason Kongruengkit, Daphne Chen, Leeson Chen, Olivia Chen, and Sophia Chen. She was also the most adoring and affectionate great-grandmother to Tyler Young, Kaia Young, Wes Young, Fenley Ricciuto, and Rosalie Ricciuto-Uga.

Her love for family knew no boundaries, and as the years went on, she found new ways to keep us all close even when we were far apart. Our Mother embraced modern technology with enthusiasm and joy, using WhatsApp to stay connected with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The virtual chats and shared photos brought her endless happiness and kept her heart close to her family, no matter the distance.

Mom will be remembered for her boundless energy, positive spirit, and pure unconditional love. She never complained, always saw the good in every situation, and continually hoped for the best for everyone she loved. Her zest for life meant she was always on the move – never one to sit still, always curious, and eager to stay engaged with the world around her.

To us, her daughters, she was a strong and loving leader whose inner strength guided us to become who we are today. Her love was the quiet foundation of our lives – steady, selfless, and steadfast. We are forever grateful for her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering support. We will hold her dearly in our hearts and love her forever.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Forest Hills Chapel,95 Forest Hills Ave, Boston, MA 02130, on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 1 PM to 2 PM, followed by interment.
