Magdalane Khoo
Shy and reserved by nature, Magdalene began life with the odds stacked against her. She was born with polio. Then at the tender age of six, her father died. But rather than wallow in her unfortunate circumstances, she was driven by her sense of compassion for others to missionary work, including stints at the holy Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in Southern France.
It was there she developed a fondness for roses. Even today, roses of every shade and colour remind her of the good times she spent in French countryside.
These days Magdalene spends her time knitting socks, shoes and scarves – an activity that keeps her fingers nimble and her mind sharp.
When she passes on, Magdalene has asked to be buried in a simple white dress.
