Carol Liyung Yu's Obituary
Carol LiYung Yu was born on November 18, 1953, in Kaoshiung, Taiwan, the youngest of 8 children. She no doubt inherited her strong will from her mother, who raised Carol and her siblings after the death of their father (a general in Chiang Kai-shek‘s army) when Carol was but 2 years old. It was with this sense of fearlessness that Carol left Taiwan in her twenties and came to the United States to study, eventually earning certifications in both histotechnology and cytotechnology.
Carol was forthright but always kind. She made friends easily, insisting on sharing a plate of dumplings with the nearest stranger. Carol loved life and enthusiastically traveled, made her own jewelry, lost herself in knitting, and cultivated beautiful gardens. Never one to miss a good sale, Carol’s closets and garage were filled with clothes, shoes, and purses. She spent the last few weeks of her life gifting friends with her “lucky finds.“ There have never been so many well-dressed ladies in DFW!
On May 3, our beloved Carol, moved on to paradise to join her parents, sister Lily, and 12 furbabies. She will be missed by all, but we are assured she will be one of the brightest stars in the sky, forever keeping an “objective“ eye on all below, until we all meet around the great conference table in the sky. “Welcome to Paradise.“
Carol is survived by three brothers, two sisters, and Lan Jiun, her sister-in-law, who has been an earth angel in keeping Carol comfortable and peaceful in her last few months.
