It is with great sadness that the Ju Family announces the passing of their beloved Chowsoon Ju.
Chowsoon Ju, of Princeton, NJ, passed away on Sunday, November 21, 2021. We pray to God for her departed soul to rest in eternal peace and give strength to the family members to bear the loss of their beloved Chowsoon.
In 1946 our mother Chowsoon Chuang graduated from the law school of Xiamen (Amoy) University in China and migrated to the Philippines. She took on a teaching post at Manila’s Chiang Kai Shek High School. In 1968, she obtained her master’s in political science at the University of Santo Tomas. In the same year, she and our father, I-Hsiung Ju, with four daughters, immigrated to the United States of America. Together in Virginia, they established the Art Farm to promote Chinese culture and art. She managed the Art Farm while our father taught at Washington & Lee University. Our mother was a writer; her pen name was Hsin Jen. She published 4 collections of essays. Her four children are Doris Ju, Helen Ju, Jane Ju (husband: Weijan Chi, daughter: Chienyn Chi), Grace Ju (husband: Garth Miller, daughter: Zea Miller, son-in-law: Seth Shipman, son: Noah Miller). Our mother’s body was cremated November 24, 2021; the date of the burial is yet to be determined (spring of 2022 is our estimate). Her ashes will be placed with our father’s ashes at the Kingston cemetery, in New Jersey.
2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
