Obituary of Mei Kiu Chan Li

Mei Kiu Chan Li, also known as Florence or “Flo”, age 57, died on March 3, 2022, at 5:16 PM alongside her husband, Wai Tak Chan, and daughter, Po Yan Chan, at the Tufts Medical Center. Fighting severe covid pneumonia for over a month, it was her time to go. However, under sedation and paralyzation, Flo passed away peacefully without any pain. Florence was born in Hong Kong on August 31, 1964. She grew up with her parents, Hong Bing Li and Chai Shing Li Lau, and five siblings of which she was the youngest of the six. She met Wai at work when she was 19 and three years later, they got married on July 27, 1987, in Aberdeen, Hong Kong. Two more years later, she gave birth to Po Yan. As her father passed away at a young age in Hong Kong, her oldest sister immigrated to the United States of America. Along with her mother and sisters, Florence and her family also immigrated to Boston, Massachusetts in 1992. She later became a U.S. citizen and lived in Boston for 22 years. She then moved to Malden and lived there for 8 years. Although Flo’s time was cut short, she did enjoy most of her life with her family like traveling to different places every year. She will always take a special place in our hearts as she was a very kind-hearted, caring, and selfless person. She was always full of laughter and joy. She was always willing to help others with her true heart. As a devout follower in Tian Dao, she was a vegetarian for over 20 years and volunteered at the temple in Brighton, MA. She also did a lot of donations to those in need. Everyone loved her cooking as she loved to cook for people. Flo will forever be remembered. Please share any photos or memories you have with Flo to her family.
