Giuyun Zhai's Obituary
June 5, 1928 – October 14, 2022
We are sad to announce the passing of Guiyun Zhai. She died at the age of 94 on October 14, 2022. Guiyun Zhai is survived by her four children, six grandchildren and one great grandchildren.
Guiyun Zhai was born in the spring of 1928 to a wealthy family in central Hebei and grew up during the Sino-Japanese War. She loved her hometown and risked her life many times to help the Chinese resistance from a very young age. She was a fearless woman who faced innumerable hardships and yet was diligent and kind, optimistic and open-minded, and not calculating when dealing with others. Guiyun worked tirelessly to raise her four children through the cultural revolution. Although Guiyun was widowed after losing her husband in 1980, she worked hard to ensure her children would finish their education.
In her golden years, Guiyun enjoyed a peaceful and quiet life in the US helping to raise her grandchildren, all of whom have grown up and graduated from college.
An active member of the church, Guiyun was baptized in 1997. She loved the bible, reciting versus to her family during family gatherings. Guiyun Zhai has gracefully joined the holy father in heaven. May peace and joy be with her from here to eternity.
