Lily Shu-Chi Lin Fei
(February 6, 1931 - September 4, 2022)

Lily Fei was born in Surabaya, Indonesia, on February 6, 1931. She was the middle of nine children, born to a family with deep ties to Christianity. Her father and grandfather were pastors, and church was very important to them. It shaped their entire lives.
Lily’s mother was not in good health. She passed away early at age 40. Lily was especially close to her mother, and as a young girl, she was her caretaker to the end. It is no mistake that Lily later became an RN. In fact, she wanted to be a doctor but that was not a real option for her in those days.
After her mother’s passing, Lily and her siblings went to China for school. Lily eventually met a young, handsome, and elegant man named Peter Fei. They married and came to America. They settled in Huntington, West Virginia, where Peter was a professor at Marshall University. Lily herself had an established and successful career as an RN. For years, she also had a charming store at Heritage Station which sold Chinese decor, clothing, and jewelry. Lily’s nursing expertise was equally matched by her business acumen and sense of fashion and style. Throughout their long-married life, Lily and Peter travelled the world, enjoyed good food with their friends, supported each other, helped numerous others in the community, and were devoted members of their church.
After Peter’s passing in 2013, Lily continued to live a full life. She still enjoyed the company of her friends and fellow church members, good food, and maintaining regular contact with her family members. Lily always saw the humor in things and had a sharp wit. She had a passion for life. Above all, she remained devoted to the church and to the memory of her late husband.
These past five years, Lily resided at The Wyngate in Proctorville, Ohio, where she will be long remembered for her spirited nature, her commitment to faith, her love of family, and her epic life story.

Per Lily's request, there will be a private funeral service conducted. Inurnment will take place at Ridgelawn Memorial Park in Huntington, WV at a later date. Henson & Kitchen Mortuary, 6357 E. Pea Ridge Road, Huntington, WV 25705 is caring for the family.
