Inwon Hwang Leu

She was born in South Korea on November 11, 1958. She graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics from Ewha Womans University and received an M.S. in Statistics from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. She served as a math instructor for 14 years at Cuyamaca College, where she had also been a department chair. She was well-respected by her students and colleagues.

Her passion for life was unparalleled. The illness never stopped her from continuing her French and Chinese studies for the past few years. Music was central to her life. She played the piano since her teenage years and started her guitar lessons recently. Her pursuit of excellence became a core value of the family. Due to her influence, her two children have been musicians since a very young age. They have both soloed with the San Diego Symphony as winners of the Young Artist Competition. Her two children are Harvard and Yale College graduates.

She will be especially remembered for her optimism, never-ending commitment to her children, and her heart-warming smile.

Funeral services will be held on November 22, 2014 at 1:00pm at the Eternal Hills Chapel.
