Patty Sauling Yuen

It is with deep love and profound sadness that the family of Patty Sauling Yuen announces her peaceful passing on August 10, 2025. Patty was born in Hong Kong on October 20, 1949, the beloved daughter of Kai Suen-Yau and Wong Fong-Yang

She was the devoted wife of Richard Ng Yuen cherished mother to Kenneth Ng Yuen and Keith Ng Yuen and proud grandmother to Kai Hieu Thao Yuen, Avery Ng Yuen and Wesley Ng Yuen Patty was a loving sister to Kai Sau Wah Matty and Kai Ho Yee Andy and is reunited in peace with her late eldest brother Kai Ho Yan Gordon and youngest brother Kai Ho Suen Tommy

Patty's journey began at Pui Ching School in Hong Kong, where she graduated with the Class of 1968. She was the first in her family to move to the United States, earning her B.S. in Microbiology from Kansas State University. A dedicated and skilled Clinical Laboratory Scientist, Patty served at Kaiser Permanente Medical Group for over 42 years, touching the lives of countless colleagues and patients before retiring in 2016.

In 1975, Patty married her loving husband, Richard, and together they built a warm and welcoming home in Saratoga, California, where they raised their two sons. Patty became a U.S. citizen on August 9, 1983, and embraced the community around her with kindness and generosity.

In her retirement, Patty found joy in line dancing with friends, knitting and crocheting for loved ones, traveling to Asia and Europe, attending her treasured Pui Ching reunions, and spending time with her grandchildren in Southern California. Her warmth, laughter, and gentle spirit brought comfort to all who knew her.

Patty faced her two-and-a-half-year battle with pancreatic cancer with courage, grace, and gratitude, cherishing the moments she spent with friends and family near and far.

Her family is deeply grateful to all who have offered love, support, and prayers during this time, and to those traveling long distances to honor her memory.
