黃婆婆鄭娟姊妹在1927年2月22日出生於潮州汕頭。童年雖然沒有機會接受教育，自學進修並能夠書寫及閲讀文章，為人勤儉樸實，努力工作。十二歲已經在工廠作勞工來供養自己及母親。結婚後生下女兒黃慧貞，二十歲前往香港，在工廠作車衣工，女兒仍留在汕頭與黃婆婆的母親一起生活。女兒長大至15歲才到香港與母親相聚。黃婆婆送她的女兒往香港培道學校上課，讓女兒接受良好教育。

1989年隨同董家遷至西雅圖，至今三十五年，董家待黃婆婆如同家人。董氏夫婦在黃婆婆年紀老邁的日子中，雖然他們的兒女已經長大，無需黃婆婆的照顧，仍然繼續讓她在家中居住像家人一樣，董家三個兒女：Jennifer，Diane及Christopher敬愛黃姐妹親如祖母。黃姊妹喜愛親手鮮榨橙汁給董氏夫婦以表達對他們的愛心。

黃婆婆鄭娟姊妹一生愛人及服事人之心，都是源自她敬愛上帝。 她每天閲讀聖經及背誦經文，並且每天為董氏夫婦及家人和教會的所有肢體禱告。黃婆婆有一位女兒黃慧貞，女婿陸連暢於九個月前歸勞歸主，兩位外孫Julian，Pauline，四位曾外孫Mason，Izzy，Macky，Quinn 。她有一個弟弟和兩個姪女Laura和Olivia移民澳洲。每年聖誕節都寄禮物包給黃婆婆，並前來西雅圖探望黃婆婆兩次。

黃姊妹於2016年1月17日上午在家中坐下不能站起來，送到醫院急救，女兒慧貞知道後，隨即從外州前來探望她，但是由於肺功能衰竭，在2016年1月22日下午5:55辭世於 Overlake Hospital，安息主懷，享年88歲。
