Obituary for Olivia Fraga (Chyen)

Print
Olivia Chyen Fraga, aged 57, wife of Armando N. Fraga Sr., of West Hartford passed away on April 21, 2018 at UConn John Dempsey Hospital surrounded by immediate family members. She was born on April 1, 1961, in Hong Kong, to Chuang Chyen and Jean Chen. She grew up in Hong Kong and emigrated to the US in 1982. In her 30s, she met Armando Fraga, Sr. and got married in 2002.
Olivia was smart and intelligent. Physics was her favorite subject. She pursued her college education at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and earned her bachelor degree of Electrical Engineering. She worked with Travelers, Stanley Tools, and Pratt &Whitney and was one of the few female professional computer analysts then. She loved music, sang alto, played piano and guzheng (aka Chinese zither). She had a tender heart and a sensitive spirit to those who are down, downtrodden, or forgotten. Wherever she sensed the need, she initiated on her own to reach out. Olivia was gentle and generous. She did not spend much on luxuries but would spend time and energy to pick and send gifts to others. Olivia liked to read. Other than the Bible, she loved kung-fu fiction serials published on newspapers, which later became the most widely circulated among the Chinese.
Olivia is survived by her husband, Armando Fraga Sr.; three brothers and five sisters; a niece and a nephew; and cousins.
