We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Zhang "Joan" Shuhua on the evening of Tuesday January 7, 2025 in Salt Lake City. Born in the Year of the Horse, she was a woman with an energetic spirit and lively confidence. Her adventurous personality left an indelible impact on those privileged to know her.

Joan was known for her perseverance and strength, teaching valuable lessons in tenacity and the true meaning of grit to all who knew her. A native of China, she attended Kunming Medical University, and served as a pulmonologist. She then moved to the United States where she received her Masters in Molecular Pathology from the University of Utah, and continued to contribute to scientific research at the University of Utah Genetics Department for over 35 years. She lived a life that exemplified resilience in the face of any challenge, including her final battle against leukemia.

She is survived by her husband Barry Nangle, her brother Zhang Yu, her sister Cao Shukang, her daughters Jia Jia Ye and Fay Fay Ye, local relatives Shang Ming and Zhang Yuting, and the generous Chinese-American community of Salt Lake City.

Per her wishes, Joan will be cremated in a private service with immediate family.  Please see the Events tab on this website for details for a Celebration of Life in Joan's honor.
