Hwey Mei Connolly and daughter Becky
A
Hwey Mei Connolly
becomes U.S. citizen
Among the thirty people
who become naturalized
citizens in ceremonies at the
Lancaster County Court-
house Friday, May 14, were
Koreans, Germans, Cana-
ians, Greeks, and one
Chinese. That one Chinese
was a young woman from
Maytown, Hwey Mei Con-
nolly.
Mei as she’s called by her
friends was born and raised
in Tainan, a city in the
southern part of Taiwan.
After finishing High School,
she went to work on an
American Air Force Base.
There she met and married
Allan Connolly on October
9, 1969. In June of 1971, the
Connolly family moved back
to Allan’s native Massachu-
setts. When college was
finished, Allan received a
job as chief of Respiratory
Therapy at Columbia
Hospital and moved the
family to Lancaster County.
Now the Connollys live in
the Villager Townhouses in
Maytown with their 2
children, Becky and Bryan.
It seems a fitting celebra-
tion of the nation’s birth for
the Connolly family to have
a new citizen in the family.
