Mae Sit Lum, aged 84, of Little Rock, Arkansas passed away on April 20, 2023. She was called to Heaven to be with the Lord and join her late husband, Richard Lum.
Mae Lum was born June 13, 1938 in the Guangdong province of China to the late Mr. and Mrs. Sit Sing Tui before her family fled to Hong Kong. There, she married Richard Lum before immigrating to the U.S. at the age of 19. She was a selfless wife, mother and grandmother and enjoyed cooking, listening to music and spending time with her grandchildren. She is survived by her three children whom she loved, David Lum (Lisa) of Wylie, Texas, Tim Lum (Immy) of Little Rock, Arkansas and Linda Glover (Chris) of Little Rock, Arkansas. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Michal-anne Ang (Warren), Victor Lum (Sarah), Luke Glover (Rachel), Kalli Lum Lao (David), Maddie Jones (Samuel), Audrey Glover and Julia Glover.
In addition to being a dedicated mother, Mae worked with her husband, Richard, at their family-owned grocery store in Blytheville, Arkansas. She was known by her thoughtfulness, selflessness and humor. Most of all, by her love for her family.

I would to express my condolences to the family.
Mae, Richard and Mr. John were friends to my family. My brothers and I lived "down the street" from the store. I still remember the Christmas gifts Richard would give us when we were young.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
