Kathy Wing Chi Wong

July 15, 1953 - November 18, 2020

Kathy passed away peacefully in her sleep after a 17-year long battle with Alzheimer's on November 18th, 2020. Born in Hong Kong on July 15th 1953, Kathy was the middle child of the late Man Foon Lee and Kwai Shim Leung Lee. At the age of 13, the family immigrated to New York City, where she graduated from Washington Irving High School with honors. She came from a strong Christian family and became a believer when she was a teenager. A dedicated student, Kathy earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Cornell University. After graduating, she worked at Lutheran Immigration Refugee Services before joining IBM for 15 years. She met her husband James at church and they married in 1977. She eventually left her career to stay home with her children. Kathy was dedicated to reading and studying the Bible - she also taught Sunday school which she enjoyed and felt was a gift from the Lord. Her many interests included arts and crafts, Broadway shows, Christian music, singing, and sewing. She loved her children dearly. She is survived by her husband James, her daughter Diana and son Samuel, as well as Samuel’s wife Ashley and children Simon, Violet, and Theodore.
