Hong Zhang Obituary

Loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Beloved sister of Rutgers Community Christian Church. Hong passed away on Monday, September 16 at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. She was 57 years old. Hong always had a passion for scientific research and nutrition. After receiving her Ph.D. in 1996, Hong spent almost 20 years in HIV research and vaccine development. She published numerous peer-reviewed paper in professional academic journals and her research was widely quoted. Hong moved to New Jersey in 2015 with her husband, Yuanzheng, to be closer to their daughter and settled in Somerset county. She furthered her interest in nutrition by becoming a certified dietitian. She was always passionate for helping any and all people around her through her nutritional knowledge. In life, Hong is a dedicated and loving mother, wife, and daughter. She adores her daughter and son-in-law; watching them tie the knot in 2018 was one of the happiest moments in her life. Hong loves her husband deeply and she was her husband’s best supporter through and through. She is also a filial daughter, always taking care of her parents from both sides of the family. She is deeply loved and respected by her family. Hong loves God and she has never ceased to learn more about the Lord. She studied the Word of God, tried to understand God’s will, and lived her life according to God’s commandments. Even during the final stage of her life, Hong still tried her best to serve in church. She participated in various church activities as much as her body allowed. She loved singing praise songs and getting together with her church sisters and brothers to study the bible. Serving the Lord with her church brothers and sisters brought tremendous joy and peace to Hong. Hong loves life and she loves the wonders of nature created by God. She loves to sing and dance. She is also a culinary master and many of her friends have tasted the delicious food she made. Hong was taken back to Heaven by God. Even at the last moment of her life, she had peace in her heart. She knows that the Lord is her shepherd. She does not lack. She is now at the heavenly home with God every day, filled with peace, love and health! Amen!
