Obituary for Shuntian Zhang
Shuntian Zhang, of Newton, passed away peacefully on Tuesday February 28, 2023, in the comfort and care of her residence in Medway Country Manor Nursing and Rehab center at the age of 93.
Born on July 28, 1930, in Shanghai China, the first child of MIT graduate Huikang Zhang and Duke graduate Yungtiao Huang. She was raised in Shanghai and graduated from Sacred Heart High School for girls in 1949and attended St. John’s University (later it merged to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics). She graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics with a bachelor’s degree in Economics and Accounting in 1953 and joined her father’s company, Ya Guang Manufacturing Co., Ltd as an accountant. She was persecuted during the Culture Revolution and retired in 1980. She married to a St. John’s alumni Xiangfu Zhu, a civil engineer in December 1960 and they had two daughters.
In 1999, she and her husband moved to the states to live with their elder daughter in Louisville Kentucky, where they took care of their grandson and watched him growing up. In 2010, she and her husband moved to Newton Massachusetts to live with her younger daughter and accompanied the growth of her two other grandchildren. Her life was filled with love and joy from her grandchildren. She was a strong woman. She never lost faith in life, though she suffered breast cancer in her late 70s and several fractures in her 80s. In November 2022, her health was deteriorating fast and she was admitted into the hospital, and later transferred to Medway Country Manor where she peacefully passed away.
Shuntian was an elegant lady, never shouting and arguing with anybody. She loved reading medicine books and practiced what she learned on herself. This may be one of the reasons that she had longevity despite the ups and downs in her health through her late life. One time she said that she should study in medicine instead of finance and economics. She also had a great sense of fashion from designing and making unique beautiful clothes for her two daughters back in China and making a recommendation of her daughter’s fashion until her late 80’s. She travelled around the world to enjoy different culture and beautiful landscape. She visited England, France, Holland, Denmark, Spain, and Germany in Europe; Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Grand Canyon, most of the famous cities and national parks here in the states and left lots of pictures for our memories.
Shuntian is survived by her husband Xiangfu Zhu, her eldest daughter Jin and her husband Lingbo, her younger daughter Xueming and her husband Kecheng, grandchildren Allen, Vincent and Katelyn. In addition, she leaves many nieces and nephews that will all miss her dearly.
Private Funeral Services in Celebration of Shuntian's life will be held at The Brasco and Sons Memorial Chapels, located 773 Moody Street Waltham, MA. on March 7, 2023, at 2:30pm. Although services are private if you would like to sign the guestbook please do so, at www.BrascoFuneralhome.com.
讣告

出生于1930年7月28日中国上海，是麻省理工学院毕业生张惠康和杜克大学毕业生黄韻苕的第一个孩子。她在上海长大，1949年毕业于圣心女子中学，就读于圣约翰大学（后并入上海财经大学）。 她于1953年毕业于上海财经大学，获得经济学和会计学学士学位，并加入父亲的亚光制造有限公司 担任会计师。她在10 年文革中遭受迫害，于1980年退休。 1960年12月，她嫁给了同是圣约翰大学校友的土木工程师朱享紱，育有二女。
1999年，她和丈夫搬到了路易斯维尔，肯德基州，他们的大女儿家，在那里他们照看外孙，陪伴他长大。2010年，她和丈夫搬到牛顿，麻萨诸塞州，与小女儿同住，陪伴外孙，外孙女成长。 她的生活充满了来自孙儿们的爱和快乐。 她是一个坚强的人，尽管她在70多岁时患上了乳腺癌，在80多岁时多次骨折住院，但她从未失去对生命的信念。2022 年 11 月，她的健康状况迅速恶化，住进医院，随后转到梅德韦乡村庄园，在那里去世。
舜田是个优雅的女士，从不和人争着，永远轻声细语。她喜欢看医学书籍，并把学到的知识应用到自己身上，这可能是她长寿的原因之一。她曾说，她应该学医而不是财经。她有很时尚的审美，为她的女儿们设计和缝制了很多式样新颖独特的衣装，这些服装让她们走在街上赢人注目，直到80多岁还是女儿时装的好参谋。她周游 世界，享受各国不同的文化和美丽的风景。她访问了英国，法国，荷兰，丹麦，西班牙，德国等欧洲诸国，波多黎哥、加拿大、墨西哥，夏威夷、阿拉斯加、大峡谷 等，许多美国的风景名胜和著名城市都留下了他们的足迹，也为我们留下了大量照片视频，成为我们珍贵的记忆。
