  But she is not a Lady nor Dame.
  
  The award level and seniority doesn't allow her any access to titles.
  
  Unless of course she married to a Lord. Did she?
  
  

  Hmm, I always believed an OBE granted the right to place Sir/Lady as a prefix?

  Ermm, no. There are 5 levels to the award. Only the first 2 are granted titles of Sir and Dame for woman.
  
  Furthermore, they have to be subjects of the ruling Monarch. if not, she can just use Elizabeth Choy, OBE as her title.

  Requiescat in pace.
  
  It's worrying to see that some people have no recollection of her, when a generation of folks who know the value of peace is fast disappearing.
