Requiem Mass (presided by Fr. Stephen Chow, S.J.) was held on Friday, 27 November, at 8:00pm at Hong Kong Funeral Parlour and Final Commendation (presided by Fr. A. Deignan, S.J.) on Saturday, 28 November, at 9:00am. The cortege proceeded to Cape Collinson Crematoria.

Mrs Ma taught at Wah Yan College Kowloon from 1945~78. As she was the only Chinese teacher at the entrance level, P6 and F1, she had taught all earlier graduates at their very early formative years at school.

A 1961 Form 5 graduate remembers her as:

最憶Meen See黃	循循解文義	黃潔君女士, P. 6D班主任, 後嫁與馬玉麟先生
常見交費遲	婉轉問家貧	通常每月第一日交學費, 我常遲交。馬玉麟先生教國文。
