Anne Shizuyo Ng

Anne Shizuyo Ng, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend, passed away peacefully at the age of 74 on Monday, June 6th, 2016 at home surrounded by her loving family. Born in 1942 in Stockton, California to Hikota and Fusaye Nishimoto, she lived in the Central Valley until her marriage to Edward Ng on February 14th, 1969. Anne and Edward called Fremont, CA home, and it was there that they raised two children and developed a strong network of friends. Anne dedicated over 20 years of service to the Fremont Unified School District as a teachers’ and office aide, mainly at Patterson Elementary School, where she touched the lives of both school staff and students alike. Her positive manner and helpful ways nurtured life-long relationships built from humor, respect, love, and friendship. A creative spirit, Anne loved crafting, scrap-booking, baking, and collecting. She had a love for dolls and board games, bowling and traveling. In the past ten years, Anne developed a special fondness for Julie Andrews - her movies, music, and children’s books. She even took a short trip to London, England to see Ms. Andrews perform live in concert. With her radiant smile, Anne lived her life fully, with abundant dedication to her family. Although a gentle person, her inner strength – allowing her to survive multiple bouts of cancer and other health issues - embodied the courage of a lion. Anne is survived by her son Scott Ng; daughter and son-in-law Charisse and David Feldman; her two grandchildren: Alex and Ella; brother George "Taka" Nishimoto; and a host of adored nieces, nephews, family, and friends. Anne’s husband Edward and sister Nancy Yada preceded her in death in 2007 and 2009 respectively. The family would like to thank those that cared for Anne over the past 4 years and Sutter VNA Hospice for their care during her final weeks of life. Memorial services for Anne will be held on Sunday, July 17th, 2016 at 2:00pm at the Southern Alameda County Buddhist Church at 32975 Alvarado-Niles Road, Union City, CA 94587. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation to In Our Lifetime 501 (c)3, P.O. Box 470981, San Francisco, CA 94147-0981 or online at www.classy.org/annengmemorialfund.
