Philanthropist Maisy Ho, sister of Pansy, Daisy and Lawrence Ho, passes away

Summary

Maisy Ho Chiu-ha, Executive Director of Shun Tak Holdings and a daughter of the late Stanley Ho, passed away peacefully on 12 April 2026 aged 59. SJM Holdings, SJM Resorts and Shun Tak Holdings issued condolences and the Ho family obituary — signed by sisters Pansy, Daisy and Josie and brother Lawrence — asked for privacy. Corporate sites were turned to greyscale in tribute.

She graduated from Pepperdine University (BA, Telecommunications and Psychology) and was later awarded honorary fellowships by the University of Hong Kong (2018) and HKU SPACE (2024). Though she kept a relatively low public profile as an executive, Maisy was active in public service and philanthropy, serving with the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, as founding President of the Hong Kong Liaoning Confraternity and as executive Vice-Chairman of the Hong Kong Volunteers Federation.

Honours included the Bronze Bauhinia Star (2016) and appointment as a Non-official Justice of the Peace (2024). Her last public activity was in November 2025 encouraging voters in the Legislative Council elections; that month she and family donated HK$10 million to a disaster relief fund following a fatal fire in Tai Po.
