Sau K. Huie
November 4, 1934 - May 4, 2025
Sau King Huie, 90, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 4, 2025 in Rocklin, California.
Sau was a devoted wife and the proud mother of seven beautiful children. As she would often say to others, she had “five boys, two girls” -- a “full house” (or a winning hand) in her eyes! Nothing meant more to Sau than her love for her family.
Sau was born in China on November 4, 1934. She married John Kuan Huie in 1956 and later immigrated to Stockton, California in 1962 with their three children: Chuck, Susie and Wayne. While in the United States, the immediate family grew to include Daniel, Peter, Andrew and Vera.
While raising their seven children together, Sau worked various jobs for local businesses in the San Joaquin Valley, that included Tillie Lewis Foods, Del Monte Corporation, Huey Brothers Farm and local Chinese restaurants. Sau was committed to hard work and self-discipline so that she could provide her children with opportunities that she never had. And, for that, her children will be forever grateful. Sau’s love continues to exist in the hearts of her entire loving family, with the expectation that it will continue on to future generations.
In 2001, Sau and John moved to Rocklin, California, where they spent the remainder of their retirement years relaxing. Sau enjoyed cooking, gardening, sewing and spending time with her ever-growing family.
Sau is survived by her husband, John and their children Chuck (Aida), Susie (Kevin), Wayne (Laura), Daniel (Vivian), Peter (Julie), Andrew (Debby) and Vera (Mark).
She is also survived by her twelve grandchildren, Dr. Ashley (Dr. Andrew), Amelia (Brandon), April, Gina (Kelly), Kristina, Linda, Philip (Sarah), Kyle (Brenda), AJ (Brittany), Jessica, Brandon and Kayla.
And by her thirteen great grandchildren, Olivia, KJ, Kiana, Kole, Kaie, Kodi, Konor, Xavier, Saoirse, Theodore, Liam, Elizabeth and Adeline.
