I do not have much information about the family of Madam Tan Jit Neo. In fact, i don't even have the name of Madam Tan Jit Neo's husband. As for her children, there was an article dated 25 April 1949 that mention's the engagement of Miss Nonne Quah (the only daughter of Mr and Mrs Quah Peng Gam ) with Mr. Quek Too Mong (third son of Madam Tan Kah Jeu and the late Mr. Quek Peng Kim). But without knowing more details of the family tree,it is now speculation that this Quah Peng Gam is indeed the son of Madam Tan Jit Neo.
Madam Nonne Quah nee Mrs Quek Too Mong passed away at the age of 47 on 28 July 1971. She is survived by her parents, husband, brother, 2 sons, Francis Quek, Steven Quek, 1 daughter, Judy Quek. The cortege left from 43 Farleigh Avenue for cremation at Mount Vernon crematorium.
