Lai King was born on June 18, 1934 in Canton, China. She and her husband immigrated to America with their two young daughters in 1966 and settled in Fresno. Lai King was a seamstress by trade in China. In Fresno, she and Siu Hin worked in restaurants as kitchen prep and cooks, eventually opening up their own restaurant, Hin’s Kitchen, for a few years. After retirement, she became a full time grandmother, helping raise all 7 of her grandchildren. She loved to travel, tending her gardens, reading, and watching political news.

Always an optimist, she fought cancer head on with courage and grace. Her influence and memory will forever live on in her children and grandchildren.
