Molly Ting, b Blenheim, November 3, 1911; m Joseph Ting, Wellington, 1933; 2s, 1d; Lower Hutt, June 4, 2013, aged 101.[1]

Ting (nee Low) was born in Blenheim in 1911, and was the fourth child in a family of eight. Her parents migrated from China and set up the Chong Lee and Co fruit and vegetable business in Market Street, Blenheim.[1]

She left Marlborough College, aged 15, so she could work in the family fruit and vege shop. She married Joseph Ting at St Mark's Church, the Basin Reserve in Wellington, in 1933.[1]

She lived at the Ting family's market gardens in Moxham Avenue, Hataitai, before she and Joseph moved in to their own home at Strathmore, in Wellington's eastern suburbs. In this home the Tings raised two sons and a daughter.[1]

Joseph Ting died in 1972 and Molly Ting decided to join her sister-in-law Dolly Wong as a resident of the Shona McFarlane home in 2001.[1]

Molly Ting's father-in-law, James Chin Ting, owned and operated a market garden on the land where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints now stands at 140 Moxham Avenue, Hataitai.[1][2]

The Tings' highly successful Hataitai market garden supplied products for the family's Yee Chong Wing and Te Aro Seeds businesses, which operated (up to 1984) from premises on the corner of Courtenay Place and Tory Street.[3]

In 1929, the Evening Post reported that Mollie (sic) Low (and sister Nettie Low, and Ida Chong) were bridesmaids at the wedding of Herbert Kwok and Ida Low, at the Chinese Anglican Mission Church, on Frederick Street. [4]----
