Grace Aurelia Yee

Grace Aurelia Yee, 89, of San Francisco, CA passed away on September 26th, 2022 after a long battle with Lewy body dementia.

Grace was born on September 25th, 1933 in Trinidad and Tobago. Her parents were Edward and Adriana Lee Chie. She was raised by her grandmother Grace Tim Pow. At nineteen, Grace met Eugene Yee on a double date. By the end of the evening, they left with each other instead of their original dates. They were married five years later.

In the sixties, Grace, Eugene, and their three children moved to San Francisco for more opportunities. Caring deeply for her family and helping to raise multiple generations, Grace was active in her children and grandchildren's schooling as Star of the Sea Parents Guild President and an aide at Frank McCoppin Elementary School. Grace enjoyed knitting, spending time with her friends and family, and Cadbury chocolates. She was known for her immaculately clean house, candid speech, and incredible appetite. Grace was a strong willed, passionate person who advocated for others. She will be greatly missed.

Grace is survived by her husband, Eugene; their three children, Grace A. Yee, Allison Clapper (John), and Mark Yee (Rich Wyatt); their grandchildren, Monica Crussell (Jon), Gillian Heitman, and Jin Clapper; and their great granddaughter, Mina Crussell.

Services are still being planned at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
