She was raised by her father Jing Fai Yiu (姚曾輝) and mother Yao Hui Zeng (鄭秀娥), who had a factory that made candy. She grew up helping out in the family business since she was young age. Even though her education was limited due to World War II, she always made sure her children were properly educated. She was always a hard worker and dedicated to stay active.

She was a woman who lived life to the fullest. When she was in her 50's, she discovered her new passion for learning to swim. Every morning, she would meet her friend at the beach and enjoy a nice swim every day.
Later in life, she learn how to play Mahjong and spent hours enjoying the strategic, thinking and social aspect of the game. It became one of her favorite pastimes.
She loved to prepare delicious meals for her family and friends, especially during Holidays. She never gave up on being independent and learnt how to drive in her early 70's.
Sadly, in her 80's her health began to fail but even during her struggles, she remained a kind and loving mother.
