Yi Cen, age 78, passed away peacefully on November 30, 2022 at her home in Norwich, Connecticut. She was born on September 7, 1944 in Taishan, Guangdong, China, daughter of the late Shaozhen Cen and Yuhe Li. She was the beloved wife of Zhao Li. Her memory lives on in her children, Ze Bo Li and Dianbo Li; her daughter in laws Xiaolan Zhang and Juanfeng Li; and three granddaughters Cindy Xintong Li, Xinyi Li, and Jasmine Li, and a grandson, Walson Xuanhua Li (Connecticut, USA). She leaves behind younger brothers Zhiping Cen and Deping Cen and three younger sisters Yina Cen, Yiwen Cen, and Xiufang Cen (Virginia, USA) and many hardworking and exceptional nieces and nephews around the world.
Yi Cen lived a simple life filled with heartfelt gratitude, acts of love, and gentle patience. As is the life of a first-generation immigrant, Yi persevered and worked with the strength of an angel to make life in the United States comfortable for her and her family. Yi Cen devoted her life to taking care of her children, her husband, and her family as a whole. She was a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother who will be missed very, very dearly. She loved her family and friends and was as devoted to them as they were to her. Much love to all of Yi's friends and family during this time. Final goodbyes will be said during a private service on Sunday, December 4, 2022 from 10:00AM-12:00PM at Labenski Funeral Home in Norwich, CT.
