Suquin Lu

October 6, 1935 - July 22, 2025

It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Lu Suqin, who peacefully passed away at Capital Health on the morning of Tuesday, July 22, 2025, after a long illness. She was 90 years old. Her younger daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughters were fortunate enough to share her company in her final days.

Suqin was born on October 6, 1935, in Yiyang, Henan Province, China to Shaozeng Lu and Xiu Ji. She attended Luoning High School, where she met her future husband, Xuejie Liu. Throughout her life, our mother was humble yet truly remarkable — hardworking, resilient, kind and strong. With her selfless love and unwavering strength, she held our family together and gave everything she had. She deeply loved her husband and children, caring for our father with devotion through all of life's ups and downs. She raised us with endless love and patience, and after we started families of our own, she continued to give selflessly, helping to care for her granddaughters and embracing new generations with warmth and love.

Our mother was independent, hardworking, and dedicated. She never shied away from any hardship. She worked at Luoyang Glass Factory, Quzhou Transformer Factory, and the Luoyang City Tunnel Bureau Staff School, where she carried out her duties faithfully and earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues and supervisors alike.

Outside of work, she was multi-talented and full of life. She had a passion for performing arts and actively participated in performances at her workplace and in the community. The vivid characters she portrayed on stage brought joy and warmth to all who watched her. She was also an excellent basketball player, representing her workplace in many competitions. Her energy and fighting spirit inspired many. She passed on her passion for sports and dance to her younger daughter, but more importantly instilled in her an optimistic, active approach to life that remains to this day.

Suqin was sincere, kind, and always willing to help others without concern for her own gain or loss. Her generosity and kindness earned her the love and respect of family, friends, and everyone around her. Throughout her life, she showed us the true meaning of love, strength, kindness, and selflessness. She gave the best of herself to her family. Though she has left us, her spirit of resilience, independence, dedication, and optimism will forever be engraved in our hearts. She will always be our role model and the source of our strength.

Mom, thank you for everything. You are and will always be our greatest comfort and our pride. We will love you forever and keep your memory alive in our hearts. May you be reunited with Dad in another world, free from pain and at peace.

Lu Suqin is survived by her daughter Liu Jingxiao and her husband Jin Hongyong, granddaughters Jin Xiaowei and her husband Yang Qi, and great-grandson Yang Ruichen; her daughter Liu Jinghua and her husband Michael Walker, and their children Sophia Walker and Mia Walker; her sisters Lu Sufen and Lu Sumin and their families, and many dear relatives and friends who mourn her passing.

We share this obituary with heavy hearts and invite all family and friends to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. A memorial service will be held on August 10, 2025 from 10:00 to 11:30 AM, at Kimble Funeral Home, One Hamilton Avenue, Princeton, NJ 08542.

沉痛讣告:我们最亲爱的母亲陆素琴,因病医治无效,于2025年7月22日星期二上午在Capital Health不幸离世,享年90岁。她的幼女、女婿和外孙女们有幸陪伴她走过了生命的最后一段旅程。

母亲出生于1935年10月6号。她的父亲是陆绍曾,母亲是季秀。母亲曾就读于洛宁高中,并在那里结识了父亲。母亲的一生,平凡却伟大,勤劳而坚韧。她用无私的爱与坚强的肩膀,撑起了整个家。母亲深爱着她的丈夫和孩子们。她用一生悉心照料丈夫,相濡以沫、风雨同舟;她用无尽的爱心和耐心把我们抚养长大。我们成家后,她又无私地帮助照顾孙女们成长,用她温暖的怀抱守护了几代人的幸福安稳。

母亲自强自立,工作中勤恳踏实、热忱积极,从不畏惧辛劳。她曾先后就职于洛阳玻璃厂、衢州变压器厂、洛阳市隧道局职工学校。无论在哪个岗位,她都恪尽职守、任劳任怨,赢得了同事和领导的高度认可和尊敬。即使退休后来了美国,她也不愿赋闲在家,而是积极找事情做。

母亲不仅工作出色,生活中也多才多艺。她热爱文艺,积极参加单位和社区的文艺演出,塑造了鲜活生动的舞台人物,深受广大观众的喜爱,给人们带去了欢乐和温暖。母亲还打得一手好篮球,年轻时曾多次代表单位参加篮球比赛,是队里的主力队员。她拼搏向上的精神感染了许多人。母亲也曾亲自教我打球,跳交谊舞,把她热爱运动、积极向上的生活态度传递给我,让我受益终生。

母亲待人真诚,乐于助人,凡事不计较个人得失。邻里朋友有困难时,她总是竭尽所能地帮忙,不求回报。她曾帮助许多人申请医疗保险及老年活动中心。她宽厚善良、助人为乐,一生赢得了亲朋好友和左邻右舍的敬重与喜爱。

母亲用一生诠释了爱、坚强、善良、无私。母亲虽已离去,但她坚韧不拔、自立自强、无私奉献、乐观向上的精神,将永远铭刻在我们的心里,成为我们一生的榜样和前行的力量。

妈妈,您辛苦了!您是我们心中永远的依靠,是最值得骄傲与怀念的人。我们永远爱您,怀念您,愿您在另一个世界里和爸爸重逢,无病无痛,安息祥和。

陆素琴的遗族包括女儿刘惊霄及其丈夫金红勇,外孙女金笑薇、外孙女婿杨祺和曾外孙杨睿晨;女儿刘惊华及其丈夫迈克·沃克,及其子女索菲亚·沃克和米娅·沃克;妹妹陆素芬,陆素敏及她们的家人,亲朋好友等。谨此讣告,望亲朋好友垂念。
