Helen C Lum

Our mother Helen Chin Lum passed away peacefully on April 14, 2017, less than 45 days after the passing of our father and her beloved husband of 65 years Abe G. Lum. March 17 would have marked their 66th wedding anniversary. Our mother lived a life of family, love and caring. She was born in Seattle, attended Rainier Elementary and Garfield High School and worked as a marine insurance underwriter for T.W. Rice & Co. She raised four children while Abe helped found and run the Four Seas Restaurant in Seattle’s Chinatown/International District. She loved getting together with family and friends, quilting and volunteering her time for many organizations, including the Gee How Oak Tin family association, Kin On Nursing Home and the Seattle Chinese Garden Society. She is survived by her children Dean (Gayle), Todd, Angela (Joe), Laurel (Jeff) and grandchildren Derek, Taylor and Alexi. A private family service was held. In lieu of flowers, remembrances should be sent to Kin On.

Arrangements under the direction of Bleitz Funeral Home, Seattle, WA.
