Tricia Chen Yen's Obituary
On the morning of May 19, 2022 beloved mother, Tricia Yen, went home to our Lord Jesus in heaven at age 64 after a two-year’s long, hard fought battle with breast cancer. She is survived by daughters Rebecca Castro (29) and Amber Yen (27); Sisters: Ching-Chi Chen, Seiko Suen, Diana Hsu, and Jessica Castro. She was preceded by her husband William Yen; father, Yun-Dao Chen; mother, Hsueh-Cheng Wu Chen; and sister, Roseanne Huang.
Tricia was born on July 31, 1957 in a small sugarcane town in Taiwan. In her early twenties, she immigrated to the United States and earned a Bachelors degree in accounting, which helped her in her many business ventures. She lived a full life, dedicated mostly to raising her daughters to walk with Jesus, and being a blessing to her friends and colleagues. She enjoyed singing, traveling, gardening, learning, piano, waking, and her fellowship with friends. She will be remembered for her wisdom and dedication to her family and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at Wildwood Chapel at Restland Cemetery at 2:00pm on June 25, 2022. Reception to follow at the Event Center on Restland grounds at corner of Restland Road and Greenville Avenue. Pastor Benjamin Wong of Asian American Baptist Church to officiate.
TREASURED MEMORIES OF TRICIA YEN
Tricia Yen was the epitome of the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31. She had a genuine goodness, authenticity and strength of character about her. She had a great heart. She dearly loved & cared for her family & her friends - a great mother who wanted the very best of life for her daughters and would sacrifice anything for them. She loved well. My most treasured memories of Tricia are the many hours of conversation we had exploring and discussing the issues of life. We could talk about anything – and did. We would analyze, reason through any issue, laugh often, share burdens, pray together - she had such tremendous wisdom & insight, and a deep, abiding faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I am comforted to have full assurance she is in heaven with Him now. Tricia was the most courageous, caring & and trustworthy woman I have ever known. I will forever treasure our many conversations & time spent together. She was, and is, a true inspiration in my life – an inspiration I will gratefully carry with me for the rest of my days.
