LU

Joann Zhiyuan Lu

Surrounded by family in her Davis home, Joann Zhiyuan Lu died on Sept. 6, 2005, after battling colon cancer for two years. She was 49.

Born in Qiqihaer, China, on Jan. 30, 1956, she grew up in Beijing and attended college in Shanghai, but relished her 20 years in Davis.

She fought countless uphill battles in both her educational and professional careers. She left her family and school at the age of 14 to volunteer in remote areas of China. Lacking a formal high school education, she persevered and received both a college degree in chemical engineering and a master's degree in economics.

After receiving her master's from UC Davis, she worked as an accountant and economist. For the last eight years, she worked for the California Air Resources Board, and contributed significantly to the research and protection of clean air in California.

Her family says she enjoyed the simple pleasures of life - reading, gardening, home remodeling, healthy cooking and walking her loyal dog, Charm. She was caring and friendly to all she knew, and her radiant smile brought joy to everyone around her both at work and throughout the Davis community.

She always had a soft spot in her heart for animals, and helped sick animals, even when she herself was ill.

She loved her family and gave all her care, wisdom and devotion to them. She wanted the best for her daughter, and encouraged music, academic success, and a rich and fulfilling life. She inspired her to always pursue excellence not only with words, but by example as well. She was a strong person who never complained, wanted little for herself and was always willing to sacrifice herself for her family. She was the rock of the family.

She was preceded in death by her father, Lu Wenting.

She is survived by her husband of 23 years, Yongxin Cai, and her 21-year old daughter, Ann Cai, both of Davis; her mother, Feng Jufang, of China; her sister, Zhimin Lu, and niece Wendy Li, of Davis; and her sister, Lu Zhirong, and brother, Lu Zhiwei, of China.

A private memorial service was held Wednesday at the Davis Funeral Chapel. She and her family were grateful and deeply indebted to her friends and doctors who helped her through her illness, and encourage everyone to have a colonoscopy to screen and prevent colon cancer.
