My great-aunt Margaret Lee Loke passed away on Monday Nov 28. We drove up to Bakersfield on Saturday for the memorial service. Auntie Marge was the best. She was always laughing and joking around. She was the youngest of her generation and exuded an eternal youthful joy. I’ll miss her smile and her sly laugh. I joined my cousins as a pallbearer during the ceremony.

😢
Auntie Marge was my Grandmother Rose’s youngest sister. Marge was the last of her generation. We call it Generation 3 (third generation of The Lee Family in the US). My Dad is Gen 4; I’m Gen 5; my kids Gen 6.
Gen 3 lived in an amazing time. They had been young adults in the best of times 1920-1930s. They fought and lived through WWII. They raised their families in the baby boom. They saw space ships, computer, and internet born. They enjoyed their golden years in prosperity with their kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. They leave a legacy of love and a unique peak into the Chinese-American Experience.
Cool photo of Marge when she was going out for a fun night of dancing, likely taken in her 20s.
