CHINATOWN, Ohio (WOIO) - The Cleveland community lost an icon on Thursday.
Donna Hom was a prominent local figure, not just in the Asian community, but for anyone who has big dreams.
Hom immigrated to Ohio in 1960 from Guangzhou, China.
She was the owner of Clevelandâs famous Li Wah restaurant. She and her husband actually helped develop the Asia Plaza Mall.
Johnny Wu, Homâs longtime friend, said sheâs inspired him since he knew her as his landlord in 1990.
