Anna Ming-Hwa & Kenneth Keng-Yu Wu

Anna Ming-Hua Wu, 89, of Houston, Texas, passed away on August 27th, 2022 in Houston.

Anna was born in Nanjing, China to Mr. Shi-Che Pan and Mrs. Shao-Yun Pan-Sha on October 18th, 1932. She went to school at Nanjing, moved to Sichuan and then back to Nanjing to complete junior high during the Japan invasion in WWII. She finished her high school in Taipei, Taiwan and graduated from the National Taiwan University as an English Literature major. She then married Mr. Kenneth Wu on June 24th, 1956 in Taipei, Taiwan and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Anna worked as a secretary all her 60 years of career life. She worked for airline and shipping companies for more than 20 years in Taipei, and retired at age 86 after 26 years of service at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston.

One of Anna’s favorite books was “The Count of Monte Cristo”. With keen interest in literature and passionate personality, she used to love to tell its story at school in between classes to her classmates. This was mentioned by a lot of her friends even after over 30 years when they had alumni reunions. A major hobby of Anna’s was to make her own dress from scratch. Her colleagues still remember her joyful and content face when they saw Anna wear her new dress to work.

Anna is preceded in death by her parents and all her siblings (2 sisters and one brother).

Anna is survived by her son and daughter. She is also survived by a younger cousin Hong-Qi who is currently in Taiwan.

The family of Anna’s wishes to extend our sincere thanks to doctors & nurses at the HCA West ER & MICU for their efforts to care for Anna, Chaplains Rick from the hospital and Hoang from the Hospice Care to deliver support and peace to Anna and her family.
