She will be laid to rest in Forest Lawn, Glendale, California.Lily was born at the close of the Chinese Civil War. When Lily was still an infant, the war separated Lily from her biological mother, although they would later reunite briefly in her adulthood. Lily spent her early childhood in Macau, and later moved to Taiwan with her father and step-mother where she grew up into a young woman. The oldest of five children, Lily had a close bond with all her siblings - George, Ling Ling, Albert, and John, whom she loved.In the 1970s, Lily married and immigrated to the United States, first to Manhattan, then settling in Queens, New York, where she raised her two sons, Victor Look (born 1975) and Vincent Look (born 1978). After her sons left for college, Lily returned to school, earning a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, and becoming a licensed acupuncturist in New York. She built a thriving practice in New York. In 2010, Lily moved to Los Angeles, to be closer to her children, who had made their lives there. In Los Angeles, she once again returned to school, became licensed in California, and established a second successful acupuncture practice where she brought healing to many, including helping women with their reproductive health. During these years, she spread joy with her sons Victor and Vincent, her beautiful daughter-in-law Grace Chon, and her grandchildren, Jasper Look (born 2013) and Elliot Look (born 2020). Together, they spent the days walking through Los Feliz, Silverlake, Descanso Gardens, Griffith Park, and Eagle Rock. Lily filled her life with movement as a ballroom dancer. She spent her time healing people, dancing, hiking, and sharing meals with friends and family. She sang and hummed along with Blondie, Cyndi Lauper, Céline Dion, and The Phantom of the Opera. In her retirement, Lily spent her time playing Sudoku, hiking and dancing with friends, and building puzzles and Legos with her grandchildren. She also deeply appreciated art—loving to draw, paint, and practice calligraphy—and found peace in playing the guzheng, the traditional Chinese harp. Above all, Lily followed her heart and lived boldly, yet always carried herself with thoughtfulness and grace. Lily Wang will be remembered for her love, her beauty, her wisdom, her generosity, her healing hand, and her grit with which she built a life across continents and generations.Note: Official U.S. records list Lily's date of birth as December 24, 1949; however, her actual date of birth, which falls under the Lunar Calendar, is February 10, 1950.
