Yuet Kam Lee, age 100, of Cherry Hill, New Jersey passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 3, 2026 with her children by her side.

Born on September 18, 1925 in Taishan County, Guangdong Province, China, she is survived by her eldest daughter, Melina Au, and son-in-law, Leo Au; her second daughter, Angela Liu, and son-in-law, Scully Liu; her son, Warren Chiu, and daughter-in-law, Winnie Chiu; and her youngest daughter, Linda Li, and son-in-law, Lawrence Li. She has served as a steadfast pillar of the family, blessed with nine grandchildren (Cynthia Chiu, Bernard Liu, Jennifer Chan, Connie Au, Stephen Chiu, Christopher Au, Elaine Liu, Amanda Li, and Andrew Li) and nine great grandchildren (Simon, Cadence, Jaden, Amaya, Chandler, Liliana, Savannah, Tobin, and Cameron).

Yuet lived life with great gusto and resilient resolve. Often seen throwing deuces and victory signs, coupled with her signature affirmations and radiant smile, she exemplified enthusiasm, strength, and faith. Her keen mind matched her generous spirit. She encouraged her family to be the best they can be, while prioritizing peace and unity.

She devoted her life to supporting her family. In 1961, when her husband Sui Lung Chiu passed away suddenly following a brief illness, Yuet not only had to care for her four young children, but also had to shoulder the responsibility of managing the family business. She and her elder brother—respected Uncle Ming Wai Lee - worked in unison to ensure the continued growth of the business. To minimize expenses, she bravely faced challenges head-on and obtained a commercial driver's license for a 1.5-ton truck. She and her brother then took turns driving daily routes to deliver goods to various market stalls in Hong Kong. Her loyalty and diligence in business dealings earned the admiration of her peers and colleagues.

After more than a decade of arduous labor, she immigrated to Philadelphia in 1971 and later moved to Harrisburg to open and operate a restaurant. Her unwavering dedication, tireless work ethic, and insatiable thirst for achievement served as an exemplar for all. Upon retirement, she lovingly cared for her grandchildren for over twenty years. A generous and magnificent force of nature, she was deeply cherished, and her teachings have become guiding life mottos and profound sources of inspiration. Her legacy and loving memory lives on in the hearts of all she has touched.

Visitation will be held at Kirk & Nice on May 7, 2026 from 10:00-11:00 am, followed by a memorial service.

Our beloved Mom/Grandma/Taipo will be laid to rest at Sunset Memorial Park.

家慈生平簡介

家慈 趙李悅金在二零二六年五月三日蒙主恩召，安息主懷。出生於一九二五年九月十八日，中國廣東省台山縣都斛村，享嵩壽一百歲，彌留之際，兒孫隨侍在側，端詳而逝。育有長女趙美嫦、女婿歐潤鎏，次女趙美嬋、女婿廖德祥，兒子趙偉雄、媳婦史慧菁，幼女趙美葵、女婿李鼎立。九個孫兒女：趙珮珊、廖子賢、趙珮琪、歐潔薇、趙志傑、歐浩明、廖敏兒、李敏琪、李國泰。九個曾孫兒女：趙文傑、歐潔恩、許澤恩、許思恩、歐浩光、許頌恩、廖諾慧、陳珮恩和陳珮玲。

家慈與家嚴結婚後，相夫教子，直到家嚴 趙兆龍在一九六一年因病突發辭世，當年家慈在喪夫之痛後，除了要照顧年幼的我們四人，仍要料理生意業務，感恩有她的兄長，我們尊敬的李明偉舅父相助，齊心協力幫助家慈把業務繼續發展下去。當年的家慈每天都用心管理業務，為了節省成本開支，她更是踏上勇敢的一步，面對環境，考 取了駕駛噸半貨車駕駛執照，與兄長一起擔任每天輪流載貨去灑棚和送貨的職務，處事忠誠勤奮的美德和德高望重的風範，備受同行朋友的讚賞和欽佩！

經過十多年的辛勞付出，在七一年中旬，我們移民到費城，然後搬家到哈里士堡市經營餐館，家慈的敬業勤肯、好學不倦的個性，每天都在餐館協助工作，確實是我們學習的好榜樣。退休後，悉心照顧孫兒女們達廿十多年，身體一直保持健康，心態温和，笑容可掬，是我們趙家的精神支柱。她樂善好施的美德，頗受親戚朋友的愛戴，她的忠言教誨成為我們處事為人的座右銘，讓我們得益良多，受益匪淺。

家慈生前信奉勤儉，且愛心常存，為延續這份大愛，追思禮拜婉辭鮮花與奠儀。懇請將這份心意捐助予基督教青年會YMCA ，以紀念Yuet Kam Lee，以支援提升我們年輕人，將人們聚集在一起和加強社群的專案。
