In loving memory of Mary Margaret Chen Our loving angel Mary Chen passed away in her home of Lakeway, Texas on May 29th, 2007. She was surrounded by her loving family and husband, who were by her side during her peaceful passing. Mary was an adoring wife, a loving mother, and wonderful daughter, sister and friend. She was born in Columbus, NE on November 24th, 1955. Mary's childhood was full of memorable snapshots of life, typical of a curious little girl trying to understand the good and bad of everyone and everything. She was the fifth child from a family of nine children, who always adored her older siblings and provided comfort to her younger brothers and sisters. While living in Colorado, Mary developed her love for hiking, biking, and enjoying the outdoors with her two children. She successfully raised her two children, as a single Mom, and provided them the foundation of understanding the difference between right and wrong. Mary's professional career started in Columbus and continued in Colorado, and eventually ended in Austin, TX, where she participated in the cellular phone boom, as a marketing manager for AT&T. After ending a very successful career in the private sector, Mary's talents and energies began to focus on spiritual guidance, charity and philanthropy. Her time and efforts continued to grow in becoming an active member of her parish, volunteering for the Crisis Ministries of Lake Travis, and holding several officer positions with the Ladies of Charity - Lake Travis.
