Obituary of Jenny Lin Fong
Jenny “Lin Chi Ying” Fong, age 73, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, June 29, 2024.
Jenny was a very strong and independent woman. At the age of 21 years old, she made the journey for a better life in America. When she first came to America she took a job at a sewing company in Boston, this is where she learned how to speak English. She married in 1974 and moved to Lynn, MA in 1977. Even years later her resilience carried on, by working two jobs to make sure her 4 daughters were provided for. Jenny was a driven woman, with the drive to work and build herself a successful life. She moved her family to Danvers, MA in 1989. Jenny even opened and owned her own restaurant named Hing Won House. Jenny also spent many years at a company, Analogic, where she was well respected and appreciated by everyone who worked with her.
Jenny was a proud wife, mother and po po. She loved through her kitchen, no one who visited her home left with a empty stomach. Something that was extremely important to her was instilling and educating her family of Chinese traditions. Jenny was a giver, who spoiled her grandchildren through small thoughtful gifts. Jenny was not only loved by her family but also her friends. She was charismatic and could make friends anywhere she went. Jenny would go out of her way to keep contact with her friends and family, mainly by traveling to both Canada and Hong Kong. Some of her favorite travels included frequent trips to Cape Cod with her late husband, Frank, where they would go deep sea fishing together. Jenny spent every minute of her life working hard not only for herself but her family.
