Lillian's obituary
Lillian Huichin Yen, a beloved mother, wife, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully at home on September 1, 2025, surrounded by her family.
Born on November 1, 1961, in Taipei, Taiwan, to Chung Ken and Chiao Ying Yen, Lillian grew up with a spirit of resilience and warmth. On January 24, 1988, she married Yishan Yen, after a joyful encounter at Square Dancing classes four years earlier. Together, they built a loving home, and on February 3, 1997, she welcomed twin daughters, Peggy and Tiffany. With strength and devotion, she raised them into accomplished and compassionate adults, a true reflection of her unwavering love.
Lillian embraced life with curiosity and joy. She loved traveling, crocheting, trying new foods, and sharing meals with loved ones. Her adventurous spirit filled her days with journeys, new friendships, and meaningful experiences. Her love for food also brought people together. Her table was always open, whether for friends from church, families new to Rochester, or her daughters’ classmates far from home during the holidays. For every guest, she created not just a meal but a sense of belonging, offering a home away from home.
Her kindness reached far beyond her own household. In Rochester, whenever new families arrived for short-term fellowships, Lillian dedicated herself to supporting them. Having once faced the challenges of living abroad, she understood their struggles and offered guidance, encouragement, and kindness. Her joyful, welcoming presence left a lasting mark on all who knew her. Friends and family remember her as a sun that brightened every room she entered, filling it with her distinctive, infectious spirit.
She is survived by her husband, Yishan, and her daughters, Peggy and Tiffany, who faithfully stood by her side through every season. Lillian’s legacy is one of kindness, generosity, and steadfast faith. As a devoted follower of our Lord Jesus Christ, her unwavering faith was an inspiration to many. Though her absence leaves a deep void, we find comfort in knowing she has been reunited with her parents in heaven.
As we bid farewell to Lillian, we remain deeply grateful for the joy she brought into our lives. She will be dearly missed, yet her spirit will continue to live on in our hearts.
顏匯靚 女士,我們摯愛的母親、妻子、姐妹與朋友,於2025年9月1日上午8:30,在家人圍繞相伴中安息主懷。
匯靚生於1961年11月1日台灣台北市,父母為顏宗根與顏陳巧英。1984年她與燕宜善先生在方塊舞的聚會中相識、相戀,於1988年1月24日主證下喜結連理共營溫暖的家庭,復於1997年2月3日喜提一對雙胞胎女兒:燕姵言和燕亭言。2004年八月舉家移民美國,安居在羅城,她以堅毅身教及慈母奉獻引領扶養她們從小學成長到讀完大學並成全優秀、善良的人格素養,淺移默化中彰顯了她的恩慈。
匯靚對人生充滿了好奇與喜樂,常笑逐顏開。她熱愛旅行、針織毛線、嘗鮮美食,更喜愛與親友共享餐點。她的積極心態使她生命旅程充滿著各樣的美好、珍貴的友誼與難忘的體驗。她更透過對美食分享凝聚了人心。因著家中餐桌的敞開,讓教會的朋友、新到訪問羅城的家庭亦或是在假期中無法返家的離鄉學子,都能在她的餐桌上感受到家的溫暖。對每一位到訪者而言,她不僅僅只是預備了餐點,更營造出每個人獨有的歸屬感,成為離鄉者的「第二個家」。
匯靚的良善超越了家庭的範圍,每當羅城有新家庭來短期交流的時候,她總是盡心盡力支持他們。因為她曾經也親身經歷過旅居海外的難處,更能理解、體會他們所面對的掙扎與困境,適時地給予協助、鼓勵與關愛幫助他們安頓下來。她的喜樂與溫暖的笑顏,讓所有認識她的人心中都留下了深刻的印記。她宛如是一個和煦的太陽,總能照亮她在的每個角落,散發獨特而撫慰人的光芒。
匯靚的一生,有摯愛她的伴侶宜善和乖巧又孝順的女兒姵言、亭言一路相伴陪她走到了屬世的盡頭 ; 如今她走進屬神的樂園並與父母相聚,她留給我們的是善良、慷慨與堅定信仰的榜樣。
作為一位虔誠的基督徒,因著她對主耶穌基督的信心堅定不移,激勵了我們。雖然她的離去帶給我們深深的不捨,但感謝 神 親自安慰了我們。 感謝她曾為我們帶來愛與喜樂,也相信她會永遠活在我們心中。
