Betty O. Fong

Betty ended her battle with cancer peacefully in her home alongside her family on Saturday, October 04, 2014. She spent her life in the San Francisco and Monterey areas as a person devoted to her family and friends. She was born on April 27, 1959 in Hong Kong to the parents of Sau Wah Seto and Art Fong and moved to San Francisco at the age of three. During these formative years, she learned the importance of family and education that would shape her life's journey. After graduating from San Francisco State University in 1981, she moved to Sterling Heights, Michigan to begin her 30 year career with EDS (Hewlett Packard) as a software developer. She is survived by her immediate family: Nelly Fong, San Francisco, CA; Nancy and Benny Chang, Moraga, CA; Anna Fong and Scot Ferrell, Castro Valley, CA; Amy and Doug Wong, Alameda, CA; Jeffrey Fong, San Francisco, CA; and nephew and nieces, Christopher Chang, Kimberly Chang, Kayla Ferrell, Sarah Wong and Kristen Wong. Betty will be laid to rest in the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, CA on Saturday, October 18, 9:30 am. Donations can be sent to the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org/donate) or the Monterey library (http://www.fmcfl.org/donors.htm) in the name of Betty.
