Kathy C. Hsi In Loving Memory of Kathy C. Hsi It is with profound sorrow and deep gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Dr. Kathy C. Hsi, a cherished friend, dedicated community member, beloved wife, mother and grandmother. Kathy departed this life peacefully on January 17, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and unyielding compassion that touched every life she encountered. Born in 1927 in Shanghai, China, over her 97 years, Kathy witnessed major events in the history of China and, after immigrating to the US in 1949, profound changes in US society. She completed a Masters of Science at the University of Minnesota in mathematics. There she met her lifelong love, David, in a chance encounter when she performed at a piano concert. They married in 1952, eventually moving to Clovis, New Mexico. She taught math at Gattis Junior High and Clovis High School for 17 years. She loved her students and particularly sought to support young women who worked hard to learn math. They remember her dedication and teaching skills. At age 60, she set an example for the whole family about life-long learning by completing her PhD in statistics at the University of New Mexico. She will be remembered for her hospitality, caring nature, keen intellect, resilience, unforgettable laugh, her love of her family, cooking, music, reading and learning. A devout Christian and member of First Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque, she now passes to the kingdom of heaven to be re-united with her son, Steven. She is survived by husband of 72 years, David, her son Andy, her daughter-in-laws Kristin and Beth, her grandchildren Anders, Andy, David and Kiersta and their spouses, and her 6 great-grandchildren who she told the world were "so cute." A memorial service to celebrate Kathy's remarkable life will be held at 11AM on March 22, 2025 at the First Presbyterian Church of Albuquerque, 215 Locust Street NE. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Kathy's honor to the Explora Science Museum and/or Cuidando de los Ninos reflecting her lifelong commitment to caring for others.
