CHCP is sad to advise that Gerry Low-Sabado passed away after a battle with cancer at the age of 71.

Gerry was one of the most dedicated and passionate persons about Chinese American history, especially in the Monterey area.  She was a valuable member of CHCP's Advisory Board and was featured as a panelist in one of our Speaker Series events. 

She has left a legacy as a Pre-School Teacher and Director, a Community Preservationist, amateur Archeologist, and Historian. Her energy, passion, and enthusiasm in telling the story of the Chinese on the Monterey Peninsula will live on in the many interviews, videos, and stories written about her. She also considered herself to be an activist, who for many years, has been involved in the struggles of Asian Americans.
