Lu Ping Wang's Obituary
王媽媽閭萍，1924年十月十八日出生於中國杭州嵊縣，於2026年四月二十日在美國加州聖荷西仙逝，享年一百零二歲。
抗日戰爭期間，以長姊身分，一肩扛起照顧外婆及年幼弟妹的責任，以嬌小身軀在兵荒馬亂中，長途跋涉背米回家，只为不讓家人受飢餓之苦。王媽媽自幼聰慧成績優異，曾經考上國防醫學院，但因家人擔心女子 做軍醫太危险，所以放棄。
1949年隨國民政府赴台，1953年與王伯伯結婚。曾任職台灣省教育廳、台灣省立歷史博物館。工作認真、任勞任怨、與人為善、結交良朋好友無數。並且悉心養育四名子女，各個品行端正，長大成才。
1990年退休後，與王伯伯定居美國加州聖荷西市。來美後積極學習英語，主動融入新生活並與華人社區保持良好互動。王媽媽畢生好學不倦，興趣廣泛，琴棋書畫、插花多所涉獵，並熱愛攝影與音樂，尤其擅長於吹口琴。運動方面舉凡打羽毛球、乒乓球、楊氏鄭氏太極都在她的養身囊包中。
在苦難中成長的王媽媽，依然樂觀開朗，以自然天成的智慧，在遭遇人生低谷時，總能沉稳堅強的面對挑戰，因此往往能將阻力化為助緣；她這種臨危不亂、正向面對生活的堅毅與達觀，子女都認為這是母親留給他們最好的禮物。
王媽媽幼時即隨同外祖母在杭州觀音庵生活，每日誦經聲不絕於耳，可说與佛颇有缘份，晚年在女兒們的陪伴下，日日禮佛、誦經、念佛，一心期望臨命终時蒙佛接引，順利往生極樂，圓成菩提。希望老菩薩已達所願，位列蓮池海會與觀音勢至把手同行。
無盡的祝福送給這位純真的老菩薩。我們會永遠懷念您。阿彌陀佛!
Our beloved Lu Ping Wang passed away peacefully on April 20, 2026, in San Jose, California, at the age of 102. A woman of great strength and talent. She lived a life defined by her dedication to her family, career, and arts.
After moving from China to Taiwan in 1949, she built a distinguished career. She retired in 1990 after 28 years working at the National Taiwan History Museum. She was known by colleagues as a pleasant, responsible, and hardworking pillar of every organization she touched.
Lu Ping was a true artist. Whether she was practicing Chinese calligraphy, performing on the harmonica, or sewing and knitting beautiful clothing for her young children, she brought beauty into the world. Her cooking was legendary—those who sat at her table will never forget the care and skill she put into every dish. After moving to the U.S. in 1990, she and her husband, Hsieh Wu Wang, remained active community members and were seen by many as a model of a devoted, loving couple.
She is survived by her loving family: two daughters, two sons, two daughters-in-law, five grandsons, and one great-granddaughter.
Best wishes to her next journey. She will be missed deeply.
