Kuo Frances Fan ChiKUO, Frances Fan Chi (née Huang)Frances Fang Chi Kuo (née Huang), age 88 of Mississauga, passed away on Tuesday, January 15, 2019.

She was born to the late Huang Ch’un Fu and Hsieh Lan Mei on July 5, 1930. She grew up in Taiwan during the years of Japanese Rule. 

Always top of her class, she was the first young woman from the Miaoli County, Taiwan to study away after completing high school. She attended Premier Women's College of Taipei and continued to study at National Taiwan University. She took a two-year hiatus in between due to the death of her mother. Entrance to both institutions are famously difficult. Only the best with top marks are accepted. As a scholarship, Maoli County provided Frances a summer position at the municipal office to support her efforts.

Her return to Miaoli each summer proved rather regrettable for her four younger brothers. In the absence of their mom, Frances planned the boys' summer vacation with a strict schedule of homework to keep them atop their studies. They would skulk about after lunch to ensure she had returned to the office, so they can break out of their nap time to go outside and play.

At National Taiwan University, she studied Economics and was an Assistant Lecturer in Accounting Methods. Here, Frances met Ted Tzung Hsi Kuo, one of her classmates; they married in 1957 and settled in Taipei, Taiwan.

Frances was a Finance Department advisor at the Taiwan Petroleum Corp.; Ted was a manager at the Land Bank of Taiwan. In 1974, Frances and Ted immigrated to Montreal, Canada with their two daughters. Frances was a bookkeeper with several Japanese trading companies and Ted was an inventory analyst with YKK Zipper Canada. In 1988, Frances and Ted returned to Taiwan to join and assist in Ted’s family’s business in leasing and insurance. They returned to Montreal, Canada in 1995 and in 1996 moved to Kitchener, Ontario. In 2010, they left Kitchener and settled in Mississauga.

Throughout the family’s movements, Frances made their home an island of order and stability. Every room in the house reflected the spare and elegant beauty of the Japanese aesthetics. Frances enjoyed painting watercolours of flowers. Frances and Ted delighted in trips to the antique markets and displaying their impressive porcelain collection.

Frances is survived by her husband, two children, Jean (Michel Boucher), May, granddaughter Camille Boucher, three brothers, Wen Hsiung, John Wu Hsiung (Chu), Zhu Long, nephew Dave Huang (Jennifer), other numerous nephews and nieces and a number of other loving relatives and close friends.

Frances requested for an intimate funeral not far from her home. The family wishes to thank all of those who have shown kindness and care to her and the family.

Arrangements entrusted with Lynett funeral home, 329 Dundas St. W, Toronto.
