Obituary Overview
Choi Yuk Ho
It is with great
sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and
great-grandmother, Choi Yuk Ho, on July 4, 2018. Choi passed away peacefully
with her loving family by her side, after a long and courageous battle with
cancer at the age of 84.
Choi was born in
Hoi Ping, Canton, China on December 20, 1933. She was the youngest of five
daughters and was predeceased by her husband, Fuk Tin, and her son, Wai Kwong
(Tony). She is survived by her sons Wai
Yong (Sam) and Wai Man (Raymond); daughters-in-law Marietta and Xiao Yu
(Michelle); grandchildren Mabelyn (Patrick), Kimberly (Samuel), Timothy
(Crystal), and Ming Zhen (Jenny); and great-grandchildren Kiana, Kobe, and
Mila.
Choi immigrated
to Hong Kong at the age of 18, where she married her husband and raised her
three sons. Choi was a hard-working woman who was determined that her sons
receive the best education. At the age of 46, she and her husband settled in
Winnipeg to be with their sons. She worked at a garment factory until her
retirement, where she made many life-long friends. Never one to lavish on
herself, she made certain the needs of her family were taken care of before her
own. She was happiest going out for yum cha (dim sum) with her family, and one
of her favourite past times was tending to her large vegetable garden. She also
loved to cook and sew. She often made shirts and jackets for her family and
loved to cook a variety of delicious Chinese dishes for them.
We are grateful
for the kindness and compassion shown to her during her final days in the
Palliative Care unit at Riverview Health Centre; especially to all of the
nursing staff on the 3E unit.
In accordance
with her wishes, a private family service and interment will be held at Glen
Eden Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her honour to
CancerCare Manitoba.
