Her family moved to Houston in 1952, settling in the Ship Channel area where they operated a grocery store for 35 years in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. She was the second of five siblings, all of whom pursued professional careers. Her grandfather immigrated from China and brought her father to the United States when he was twelve. Her mother was American-born Chinese from Augusta, Georgia. The Quan family were founding members of Houston’s first bilingual Chinese Baptist church, established in 1953. Choi graduated from the University of Houston in 1972 with a degree in elementary education. She spent approximately 15 years teaching at People Place Multicultural Center, a federally-funded HISD program where students visited rooms representing different countries. She married her husband through their church youth group and has three sons and four grandchildren. After retiring from teaching, she cared for her mother until her passing in 2025, just before her 100th birthday. In this interview, Choi reflects on her childhood in Houston’s Ship Channel area, her family’s grocery store, and the strong Chinese American community built around their church. She also talks about her experiences teaching at People Place Multicultural Center, preserving Chinese traditions within her family, her siblings’ contributions to Houston’s Asian American community, and the central role of Christian faith throughout her life."},{"label":"Abstract","value":"This recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University.
