Bangwei Lin—a beloved sister, mother, and grandmother—passed away peacefully on June 2nd, 2026, at the age of 88. She touched the lives of those around her, imbuing her sweet personality and steadfast determination into all her endeavors.

Bangwei was born on July 14th, 1938, in Guangdong Province, China, the seventh of nine children. For more than thirty years, she taught engineering at China Agricultural University, her alma mater, where she retired as an Associate Professor. In 1997, she moved from Beijing to New Jersey to be with her two sons, Xinyu and Yongjin Huang.

An undeniable force of resilience with a desire to live life to the fullest, she persevered through the hardships of wartime China and the profound social changes that followed, and still found joy, vibrancy, and color in every moment. She had a deep love for nature, especially the ocean and flowers. She also maintained a lifelong passion for health and fitness, whether it was competing in gymnastics as a college athlete or swimming laps in her son’s pool or ballroom dancing with her friends in her 80s. Though she had traveled around the world—from Australia to Singapore to Europe—she felt the happiest spending quality time with loved ones in the U.S. and China.

She is survived by three sisters; her two sons, Xinyu and Yongjin Huang; her daughter-in-law, Xiangqun Liu; her son-in-law, Wang Heng; and three grandchildren, Eileen, Alice, and Madeline Huang.

A funeral service will be held at Holmdel Funeral Home from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM on June 6, 2026. We invite all who knew and loved Bangwei to join us in celebrating the life of a truly remarkable woman.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Nature Conservancy in honor of Bangwei’s lifelong love for nature at https://www.nature.org/en-us/.

林邦微女士——挚爱的姐妹、母亲和祖母——于2026年6月2日安详辞世，享年88岁。她以温柔善良的品格和坚定不屈的意志影响着身边的每一个人，并将这些美好的品质融入她人生的每一个阶段和每一件事情之中。

林邦微女士于1938年7月14日出生于中国广东省，在九个兄弟姐妹中排行第七。她毕业于中国农业大学，并在母校任教三十余年，从事工程制图学教学工作，退休时职称为副教授。1997年，她从北京移居美国新泽西州，与两个儿子黄新宇和黄勇进团聚。

林邦微女士坚韧顽强，始终怀着对生活的热爱和追求。她经历了战时中国的艰难岁月以及此后深刻的社会变迁，却始终能在生活的瞬间里发现快乐、活力与美好。她热爱大自然，尤其钟情于海洋与花卉。她一生注重健康与运动，从大学时期作为运动员参加体操比赛，到晚年仍坚持在儿子家的泳池中游泳锻炼，并与朋友们一起跳交谊舞。虽然她曾游历世界各地——从澳大利亚到新加坡，再到欧洲多个国家——但她最珍视、最快乐的时光，始终是与亲友们在美国和中国欢聚相伴的日子。

她身后留下三位姐妹；两个儿子黄新宇和黄勇进；媳刘向群；婿王珩；以及三位孙辈——黄艾琳（Eileen）、黄艾俐（Alice）和黄艾梅（Madeline）。

追思告别仪式将于2026年6月6日下午2时至4时在Holmdel Funeral Home举行。诚邀所有认识和爱戴邦微女士的亲朋好友前来，共同追忆并庆祝这位杰出女性丰富而精彩的一生。
