* Violet Ka-Wai Loh; Longtime Resident

Longtime county resident Violet Ka-Wai Loh died Wednesday after a brief illness. She was 50.

Loh was born Nov. 11, 1947, in Hong Kong. She married Dr. Christopher W. Loh before moving to St. Louis, Mo., in 1973. The Lohs had two sons before moving to Camarillo in 1977.

In 1982, Loh and her family settled in Somis, where she was active at Los Primeros Structured School. She also worked in her husband’s medical office for eight years.

Loh served on the Ventura County Chinese American Assn. board, helping to arrange culture nights, food booths for fairs and art shows, her family said. Loh also volunteered for American Heart Assn. events and was active in the Ticktockers of the National Charity League, her family said.

Loh enjoyed ballroom dancing, investing money and traveling. She was a bargain hunter and a cook, her family said.

In addition to her husband of 25 years, Loh is survived by two sons, Elliot Pak-Chun Loh of Texas, and Edward Pak-Han Loh of Somis; a daughter, Tanya Yuk-Ting Loh of Somis; three sisters, Teresa Wong of Brisbane, Australia; and Bella Leung and Carmen Yam of Hong Kong; four brothers, Harry Leung, of Perth, Australia; and Daniel Leung, Laurence Leung and Kevin Leung, all of Hong Kong.

Services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the United Methodist Church in Camarillo. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made in Loh’s name to the American Heart Assn. in Camarillo.

Camino del Sol Memorial Center and Funeral Home in Oxnard assisted the family.
