My great-grandmother Theng Luis Nio (I call her makco) is originally from Magelang, Central Java.
Like most of the couples in former times, she and her husband Gan Thian Bo were matched by their parents.
Theng Luis Nio lost many of her close family members as young lady, but still she was very patient and she never seemed to be angry or bitter with her life.
First, she lost her baby daughter. Then her husband Gan Thian Bo died after a disease when her two other sons were still little children. Afterwards, the youngest son Gan Koen Djin died in the river during a swimming lesson.

My great-grandmother died 1971 when I was four years old.
She died very peacefully when she was cooking in the kitchen in their house in Purbalingga.
