They were united in marriage for 71 happy and loving years. Grace spent 14 years as an interpreter and customer liaison for Japan Air Lines (JAL). She was the only female interpreter in the airline industry in Hawaii during that time period.

Following in her parents' entrepreneurial ways, Grace left JAL to assist her husband Eddie at Hawaii Camera; a chain of camera and electronics stores which he co-owned. When Hawaii Camera was shuttered, Grace and Ed owned Plaza Camera together, located at the Chinese Cultural Plaza in Chinatown. After a short retirement, they partnered with lifelong friends and antique dealers, the Lu family, to form Jian, Inc., a Chinese import business, located on Pohukaina, then Kokea Street in Honolulu. Grace is survived by her husband, Edward O. Dang; three daughters, Lauren Kau, Carol "Mei Wun" Evans, and Sheri Kent; two sons-in-law, Clifton Kau and John Evans; two grandsons, Alan Kau, and Clifford Evans, and his wife Sarah; two great granddaughters, Shannon and Sophia Evans; Godson James Tom, and his wife Sharon, their daughter Joyce, and son Edward (California); Goddaughter Jean Yu (Taiwan); and many other family members.
Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased
