The CEO of American shipping company Foremost Group and sister of former Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao has died in a car accident Sunday in Texas at the age of 50.
Angela Chao, who was the head of the dry bulk shipping firm, passed away over the weekend – and her family said that they are ‘devastated with grief’ over the news.
The Harvard Business School graduate is the sister of Elaine Chao, who was the first Asian-American woman in history to ever be appointed to the president’s cabinet.
Elaine is married to Senator Mitch McConnell – making the Republican leader Angela’s brother-in-law.
Her father, James S.C. Chao, remembered his youngest daughter as ‘thoughtful, kind and devoted’ as well as being a much-loved ‘charismatic and visionary leader.’
He said in a statement: ‘It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved youngest daughter, Angela Chao.
