Eshang Phen
Author name
October 1, 1939 - February 23, 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Eshang Phen, who left us peacefully on February 23, 2025, at the age of 85, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Eshang is survived by her beloved children, Teresa, Michael, Robert and Catherine; her 11 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren; her 4 half-siblings; and extended family and friends who will forever cherish her memory. Eshang is preceded in death by her parents, Chin Thung and Cheshao; her husband, Yo Hai; her children, Patrick and Peter; and her half-brother, Yuan Chang.
Eshang was born on October 1, 1939 in Hubei, China and immigrated to Calcutta, India when she was a child. Eshang later moved to Karachi, Pakistan, married Yo Hai and welcomed six children into their home. Together, they owned a dentist clinic. After Yo Hai’s passing, Eshang raised her children as a single mother while continuing to operate the dentist clinic with her eldest son, Michael. Eshang moved to the United States in 1988 and lived in Long Island, NY and Florida until her passing.
Eshang is remembered as a loving mother, wife, grandmother, sister and friend. She was a courageous, independent, generous individual who could spark conversations with anyone she encountered. She loved to knit scarves and blankets for her children and grandchildren, travel and visit new places, watch global news and Indian dramas/movies, and listen to music and sing. She also shared her love of food with her children and grandchildren. Whether it was homemade wontons, crab, biryani, Eshang always looked forward to cooking for the ones she loved. Her kind heart and sense of humor will deeply be missed.
