Sally, known to many as Popo, was born in China, and later married her late husband Thomas Chen. Together they raised six children in Butterworth Malaysia. Sally was the principal of an elementary school for many years, before coming to America in 1980.
Sally cared deeply for others. Once established in Lincoln, she began operating a small Chinese library out of her home to ensure the Asian community always had a place where they could feel a connection to their home. She touched the lives of many, and will be greatly missed. Her love and compassion will be felt for generations to come. She was a woman of great faith and lived her life for the Lord. Simply put, to know Popo, was to know love!
Sally is survived by her five children; Anna, Lucy, John, Paul and Phebee, twelve grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband, and son David Chen.
A celebration of life will be held at The Stables at Wyuka. 3600 “O” St, Lincoln, NE 68510 on Saturday May 24th, from 11:00am-1:00pm.
