Anne Marden

February 16, 1926 - May 31, 2022

Anne Marden, wife of the late John Marden, mother of Jennie, Doro, Anto and Debs, devoted grandmother to 11 and great grandmother to 14, died on 31 May 2022 aged 96, at her home in Shek-O. During the last years of her life she suffered from Parkinson’s disease, which she bore bravely. Born in Shanghai, she lived all her adult life in Hong Kong where she was a champion for the rights of underprivileged, especially children, strove to improve life and opportunities for Hong Kong’s physically handicapped, and used her personal standing to encourage acceptance of marginalised people, from refugees to women sex workers. She received many honours for her pioneering contributions to modern social services in Hong Kong.

Anne has been likened to an angel many times since she passed. Her generous, kind and caring nature has been portrayed by a great many others. I did not know her well but having read of her extraordinary contribution to the pe, ople of Hongkong be they young or old, sick, sad or lonely one recognises she was a person of very special qualities. A missing accolade was her generosity to The Society for the Promotion of Hospice Care and her faithful attendance at their Annual Christmas Carol Concert. I wish to thank Anne on behalf of the Society for all she did to help us and assure her that though she may not be with us in person this next December she will be in spirit. Her name will be tied with a red ribbon to our Tree of Life. Lit during the service this 15 foot glittering and overloaded conveyor of heartfelt messages …… gives the congregation an opportunity to remember all the angels we have loved and lost - a meaningful tradition that will keep them alive forever.
