Wan Zhen Fang Ng

Wan Zhen Fang Ng passed away on August 27, 2026, at 64, with her daughter by her side at Boston Medical Center. Born November 20, 1961 to Yi Mian Fang and Yue Mei Cai in Guangzhou, China, she was a beloved mother, sister, aunt, and friend whose kindness, strength, and generosity touched the lives of many.

Her journey was one of bravery and resilience. She grew up during a time of great change in China, experiencing the Cultural Revolution, the era of reform, and the country’s opening up to the world. Shortly after graduating high school, Wan was assigned to work at a factory. She then made the courageous decision to immigrate to the United States, and built a new life far from everything she knew. After settling, she had her two children, who became her greatest source of happiness and pride. She later brought her parents to America, so they could be together as a family. With determination and an open heart, Wan developed new relationships through work and school, eventually creating a loving family, lifelong friendships, and a place she could truly call home. Wan worked at the Marriott Hotel for 24 years, and studied at Bunker Hill College. At one point, she balanced working, studying, and raising her children all at the same time—a true reflection of her dedication, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to her family. For the remainder of her life, she devoted the rest of her time caring for her children and parents before retiring.

Wan was a cheerful and warm-hearted woman, known for her cooking and traveling as her hobbies. She also enjoyed indoor gardening, dancing, photography, and spas. She was a modest woman who always put the needs of others before her own, especially those she loved most. Wan was also very generous when it came to food. When a close family visited or when her daughters attended gatherings, she would prepare enough food to feed many people—or enough to last for days. Through her cooking, she created countless memories and brought people together. For Wan, cooking was more than a hobby for her—it was a way to express love.

Additionally, she taught her daughters the importance of hard work, saving for the future, and taking care of one’s health. Her wisdom, love, and sacrifices will continue to guide her family for generations.

She was an extraordinary mother, a loving family member, and cherished friend, and all who were fortunate enough to know her. Wan will be deeply missed, but her legacy will remain in the hearts of her family and friends forever. The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to all relatives and friends for their love, care, support, and kindness during this difficult time. Please see below for service details.

We respectfully and kindly ask you to NOT attend service or contribute if you are in the below category:

◦ Had/s a birthday in August/September

◦ Had/s a celebration, such as a wedding, in August/September or in planning

Wan believed celebrations clash with a funeral, which can bring misfortune. Another example of her thoughts of others before herself. We hope you understand.
