95, a life-long resident of San Francisco, passed away peacefully
Thursday, April 26, 2018.
From her early years drumming in San Francisco’s St. Mary’s marching band, to her
later years of social dancing and tai chi chuan, Mary’s signature was her active lifestyle.
Her passion for all things beautiful and her uncanny sense of decor suited her longheld
position at Gump’s very well. Upon retirement, Mary’s creativity continued to
shine by dabbling and eventually mastering the brush of classical Chinese art.
She is pre-deceased by parents, Jean Sue Chong and Yin Lon Chong, sister - Rose
Chong and brothers Henry Chong and Charlie Chong.
She is survived by brothers George Chong and Gary Chong, son - Dennis Ho,
daughter - Gloria Ho-Donesky, granddaughters, Kimberly, Valerie, and greatgrandchildren,
Dempsey, Hilina and Aahana, as well as many nieces and nephews.
All who came into contact with Mary remembers her as a woman of light, laughter
and love.
Memorial services will be held in the chapel at Woodland Memorial Park in 1000 El Camino Real Colma,
CA, 94014 on Sunday, May 6th, 2018 at 1pm.
