Nancy Wong

Nancy Wong, 81, born on January 24, 1943, in Shanghai, China, peacefully passed away December 13, 2024 and went home to the Lord. Nancy was the 2nd of four children born to Chu Zoy Bong and Chu Sim Kuen.

Nancy's family moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong in 1949 to escape the Communists. She attended Pui Ching Middle School in Hong Kong where she would learn about Jesus.

Nancy came to the US in 1967 and went to Hartnell Jr. College in Salinas, California. She would eventually meet her husband while working as a waitress at his brother-in-law's restaurant. She would eventually move down to the LA area and started to attend Cal State, Los Angeles. She didn't finish her degree but she was a go-getter and a hard worker and started working as a bank teller at Cathay Bank in Chinatown. She would make connections and learned about real estate. She would eventually open her own real estate agency in Monterey Park. She spent the majority of her career as a real estate agent. When the market was slow she would redefine herself and do different side jobs to help make ends meet, such as selling mooncakes, being a loan officer, selling plots at Rose Hills.

When Nancy wasn't working she really enjoyed having fun. She loved playing Maj Jong, eating with friends, travel, and ballroom dancing. Nancy was a social butterfly and has numerous friends from her school days, work friends, and Mah Jong.
