When someone is identified as a natural leader, certain images come to mind. First thoughts are of a no-nonsense, tough-minded, dedicated and disciplined person. This description accurately fits Marietta Lim-Yee Sin who was indeed a born manager. She will be remembered as being highly organized, practical and realistic. She was a person who always carried a strong sense of duty with her throughout her life. Possessed with traditional "old school" morals, Marietta was an individual who clearly communicated to those around her just who she was and what she was all about. Everyone acquainted with Marietta knew her as a well-respected woman who was a stable force in her community.
Marietta was born at Nethersole Hospital in Hong Kong. Her parents were Mo-Chu Sin and Sin-Ying Chan. Marietta was raised in Hong Kong. Even as a youngster, Marietta learned to be objective and decisive. Her faith in the principles of authority and dependability was something that she carried with her throughout her life.
As a young girl, Marietta was able to put her natural abilities to work. She was a bit like the sergeant of the family, helping to make sure that the others did what they should do and that they avoided those things they weren't supposed to. In other words, she liked to organize and direct. Marietta was raised with four siblings. She had an older sister, Man-Yee, a younger brother, Chor-Yiu, and two younger sisters, Christina and Linda. Marietta had an inborn appreciation for the order in the family, allowing for the oldest members to be the most respected and to take on the most responsibility. For Marietta, this was a natural order of life, one she gladly embraced.
Marietta's matter-of-fact attitude about most things was developed during her childhood. As a young girl, Marietta enjoyed being part of teams, and organizations and groups of other kids who shared similar interests. She was a member of the Catholic Society.
In school, Marietta was as close to being a model student as one could possibly imagine. She sought to achieve perfect attendance in all of her classes. She would eagerly complete her homework, and often put in extra study time when she felt it was necessary. A logical and focused thinker, Marietta was always good at following directions and meeting her schedules, whether they were set by her teachers or were self-imposed. Marietta's personal motto could well have been, "Do it right the first time." She graduated from Saint Paul's Convent School in Hong Kong in 1979. She enjoyed some courses more than others, having favorite classes and teachers. Her favorite class in high school was English.
Marietta's practical work ethic carried over into her college years. Her logical mind permitted her to work hard without succumbing to the usual distractions of college life. She would tackle an assignment and work through it before moving onto the next project. Marietta's orderly nature gave way to establishing personal study habits and procedures that not only helped her stay on track but often put her ahead of schedule. When Marietta saw the need or benefit, she would willingly take on the extra assignment or even attend extra classes in order to learn more and become a better student. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Marietta was sociable and approachable. Because she was always so straightforward in how she approached relationships, friends and family knew that what they saw was always what they got. She enjoyed the camaraderie of being with a group of friends. When Marietta was a member of a group, her interaction worked to keep the others grounded. She wasn't afraid to confront her friends and, when necessary, she challenged them to stick to the task at hand. Those close to Marietta came to expect her high standards of performance. While growing up, some of her best friends were Amanda Ng, Betty Ho, and Jo Chou. Later in life, she remained friends with Amanda Ng, Betty Ho, and Jo Chou.
An objective and conscientious individual, Marietta reveled in the security of her family. On March 31, 1991 Marietta exchanged wedding vows with Peter Wai-Tak Kwok in Hong Kong. One of Marietta's most endearing qualities was her uncanny ability to remember important dates and anniversaries, and her unending enthusiasm for organizing a celebration for her family and friends.
Marietta was ever watchful of her children. She worried about them and was deeply concerned for their development as they grew up. She maintained a firm hand in their upbringing. Marietta would give her stamp of approval to their requests, as long as she could see how they might benefit. She also had the ability to enforce the rules as needed to ensure that her children were properly raised. Marietta was blessed with two children, one son, Stephen, and one daughter, Sharon.
Marietta passed away at O'Connell Hospital. Marietta fought a brave battle against lung cancer. She is survived by her husband Peter, and her two children Sharon and Stephen.
All who knew her would agree that Marietta was a pillar of the community. She lived her life with her feet firmly on the ground. She had a strong work ethic, was pragmatic in her thoughts and acts, and constantly sought the means for self-improvement. She was willing to share her ideas and knowledge for the benefit of others, so that they could accomplish more in their lives. Marietta Lim-Yee Sin did her best to ensure that her family, friends, loved ones, co-workers, and everyone whose life she touched was given the chance to become a better person.
