Showyen Liu

Showyen Liu (Showyen Bell, Cheyenne Liu) born 11/20/1967 in Taichung, Taiwan. Passed away 02/15/2026 in Sandy, Utah. Showyen succumbed to her brief, brutal battle with stage IV breast cancer—having been diagnosed just 6 weeks prior.

Showyen graduated from Layton High School in 1986, where she was the Drill Mistress (choreographer) for the Lancelle drill team. She attended Weber State College, where she became a member of the Chantonelle drill team. She ultimately graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in accounting.

Showyen began her professional career as an accountant with Price Waterhouse in Philadelphia, where she quickly distinguished herself through her precision and integrity. In the years that followed, she lived abroad, married and began a family. Upon returning to the United States, she continued her work in accounting as a cost accountant for Big D Construction. She later went on to serve as a Controller at Staker Parsons with dedication and pride for the past 15 years. In addition, she was also the Chief Financial Officer of Gan Jing World. Showyen was deeply respected for her discipline, intelligence, and unwavering work ethic. She approached her profession with the same determination, grace, and strength that defined every aspect of her life—leaving a lasting impression on colleagues and all who had the privilege of working alongside her.

Family and friends would describe her as reserved yet warm, diligent, beautiful, capable, graceful, dedicated, and compassionate. Showyen possessed an innate ability to see the good in others. She carried herself with class and composure, guided by strong moral conviction and an unwavering sense of responsibility. Her laughter—bright and radiant—was a beautiful contrast to her calm and steady presence. She was cultured, with a deep appreciation for art and architecture. She loved to travel, especially throughout Europe, embracing the history and beauty of each place she visited. At home, Showyen found joy in bringing people together. She loved hosting family parties and was an exceptional cook, renowned for her handmade dumplings and comforting omelets that have become cherished traditions around the table.

Above all, Showyen was a devoted and selfless mother. She sacrificed tirelessly to provide opportunity and stability for her two sons, supporting them wholeheartedly in their numerous pursuits—from music to sports to traveling for their international judo tournaments. Every decision she made, every hardship she endured, was with their future in mind. She was deeply proud of the life she built, and of who her sons have become.

Deeply committed to her spiritual path as a practitioner of Falun Dafa/Falun Gong, Showyen lived by principles of discipline, virtue, and inner strength that shaped both her personal and professional life. Her work as Chief Financial Officer of Gan Jing World reflected these values, including supporting the mission of Shen Yun Performing Arts.

Her legacy is one of resilience, sacrifice, and unwavering love. She will be deeply missed, but her strength and legacy lives on in the family she devoted her life to.

She is survived by her sons, Tyler and William Chen; spouse, David Thurston; mother, Hsi Lin Bell; sisters, Mon Hsian Liu and Jacqueline Bell; brother Johnnie (Christy) Bell; nephews, Thomas Cushing, Bowden Angeli, Christian and Gabriel Kenworthy; nieces, Megan Angeli, Mailee and Miya Bell.

Services to be held at City View Mortuary Saturday, February 21st at 11am, with tentative meditation from 10:45-11am. City View Memorial is at 1001 E 11th Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah.

訃聞

劉曉燕（Showyen Bell、Cheyenne Liu）於1967年11月20日出生於台灣台中市，2026年2月15日於美國猶他州 Sandy 市辭世。六週前才被診斷出第四期乳癌，歷經短暫而艱辛的抗病歷程後與世長辭。

曉燕於1986年畢業於 Layton High School，曾擔任 Lancelle 鑽隊的隊長兼編舞（Drill Mistress）。其後就讀 Weber State College，成為 Chantonelle 鑽隊成員，最終畢業於亞利桑那州立大學（Arizona State University），取得會計學學位。

曉燕的專業生涯始於費城的 Price Waterhouse 會計師事務所，憑藉精準與誠信迅速嶄露頭角。隨後她旅居海外，成家立業。回到美國後，她於 Big D Construction 擔任成本會計。之後十五年間，她在 Staker Parsons 擔任財務總監（Controller），始終敬業盡責、引以為榮。此外，她亦擔任 Gan Jing World 的財務長（Chief Financial Officer）。曉燕以自律、智慧與堅定的職業精神深受敬重。她在專業領域展現的決心、優雅與力量，與她人生各面向如出一轍，為同事與合作夥伴留下深刻而長久的印象。

家人與朋友形容她外柔內斂、溫暖真誠，勤奮、美麗、幹練、優雅、奉獻且富有同理心。曉燕天性善良，總能看見他人優點。她舉止得體，沉穩自持，秉持堅定的道德信念與責任感。她燦爛明亮的笑聲，與她沉靜穩重的氣質形成動人對比。她具文化涵養，熱愛藝術與建築，特別喜歡遊歷歐洲，細細品味各地歷史與美景。在家中，曉燕樂於款待親友，喜歡舉辦家庭聚會，是一位廚藝精湛的料理高手，手工水餃與溫暖可口的煎蛋已成為家人珍藏的餐桌回憶。

最重要的是，曉燕是一位無私奉獻的母親。她為兩位兒子付出一切，努力為他們創造機會與穩定的生活環境，全力支持他們在音樂、運動及國際柔道賽事等各方面的追求。她所做的每一個決定、承受的每一份艱辛，皆以孩子的未來為念。她為自己建立的家庭與兒子的成長深感驕傲。

曉燕虔誠修煉法輪大法（法輪功），一生秉持自律、德行與內在力量的原則，並將此精神貫徹於個人與專業生活。她擔任 Gan Jing World 財務長的工作，也體現了這些價值觀，並支持神韻藝術團（Shen Yun Performing Arts）的使命。

她留下的是堅韌、奉獻與無盡的愛。她將被深深懷念，而她的力量與精神，將延續於她傾注一生守護的家庭之中。

她的遺屬包括：兩位兒子 Tyler 與 William Chen；配偶 David Thurston；母親 Hsi Lin Bell；姐妹 Mon Hsian Liu 與 Jacqueline Bell；兄弟 Johnnie（Christy）Bell；姪子 Thomas Cushing、Bowden Angeli、Christian 與 Gabriel Kenworthy；姪女 Megan Angeli、Mailee 與 Miya Bell。
