A woman who devoted much of her life to her family while remaining active into her later years has died peacefully at the age of 100.
Centenarian Chuah Tuah Moey died on Sunday (Nov 1) and is survived by six children and 14 grandchildren, according to her obituary on Obits.sg.
She also leaves behind 18 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
Chuah died at Changi General Hospital, according to Shin Min Daily News.
Born in Singapore in 1926 to a family with ancestral roots in Chaozhou, China, Chuah married at the age of 18 and went on to have three sons and three daughters with her husband.
Despite her age, Chuah remained active well into her later years, playing mahjong twice a month and remembering the names of her family members well into her 90s.
Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, Chuah's second daughter-in-law, Guo Miaoyin (transliteration), 73, said her father-in-law worked in the rice wholesale business and was often away from home.
As a result, Chuah shouldered the responsibility of managing the household, from handling daily chores to raising the children.
"My mother-in-law was a traditional good woman. She worked hard for most of her life and only began enjoying retirement after her children had achieved success in their careers," said Guo.
She added that her in-laws moved to Lucky Heights in Bedok more than 30 years ago to live with her and their son.
Healthy diet and active lifestyle in her 90s
Guo recalled that her husband once asked his mother what she wished for, to which Chuah replied that she wanted a garden at home.
The family later bought a house with a garden, giving Chuah space to grow flowers and tend to them in her free time.
Apart from gardening, Chuah also enjoyed cooking and playing mahjong, and continued to cook and help care for her grandson in her 60s.
According to Guo, Chuah maintained a healthy lifestyle and regular daily routine, being mindful of her diet by avoiding fried and raw foods.
Her love for cooking also left a lasting impression on her granddaughter, Hsu Shu-en (transliteration), 45, who fondly remembers the meals her grandmother prepared during her childhood.
"I really like my grandmother's stir-fried potatoes and chicken. Although they are simple home-cooked dishes, they have a special taste, which you cannot find elsewhere," said Hsu.

一位一生大部分时间都奉献给家庭，晚年依然活跃的女性，安详地去世，享年100岁。
据 Obits.sg 网站上的讣告显示，百岁老人朱图阿·莫伊于星期日（11 月 1 日）去世，身后留下六个子女和 14 个孙子女。
她还留下了18个曾孙和1个玄孙。
据《新明日报》报道，蔡某在樟宜综合医院去世。
蔡女士于 1926 年出生于新加坡，祖籍中国潮州。她 18 岁结婚，与丈夫育有三子三女。
尽管年事已高，蔡女士在晚年依然保持活跃，每月打两次麻将，90多岁高龄还能记住家人的名字。
蔡先生的二儿媳郭妙音（音译）今年73岁，她在接受《新明日报》采访时表示，她的公公从事大米批发生意，经常不在家。
因此，蔡女士承担起了管理家庭的责任，从处理日常家务到抚养孩子。
郭先生说：“我婆婆是一位传统的贤良淑德的女性。她一生辛勤工作，直到子女事业有成后才开始享受退休生活。”
她补充说，她的公婆30多年前搬到勿洛的幸运高地与她和他们的儿子一起生活。
她90多岁高龄依然保持健康的饮食和积极的生活方式
郭女士回忆说，她的丈夫曾经问过他的母亲想要什么，蔡女士回答说她想要一个花园。
后来，这家人买了一栋带花园的房子，让朱阿可以在空闲时间种植和照料花卉。
除了园艺，蔡女士还喜欢烹饪和打麻将，60多岁时仍然继续做饭并帮助照顾她的孙子。
据郭女士介绍，蔡女士保持着健康的生活方式和规律的作息，并且非常注意饮食，避免食用油炸和生食。
她对烹饪的热爱也给她的孙女许淑恩（音译，45岁）留下了深刻的印象，许淑恩至今仍深情地回忆起祖母在她童年时期烹制的饭菜。
“我特别喜欢奶奶做的炒土豆和炒鸡。虽然是简单的家常菜，但味道很特别，在别的地方是吃不到的。”许女士说。
