Chan, Flora
April 7th, 2021
After a brief but fierce battle with cancer, it is with heavy hearts, Flora Wai-Ching Chan (née Lam) went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, April 7, 2021, at the age of 61, with her loving husband by her side.
Dedicated wife of 35 years to Emil Nam-Cheung Chan. Steadfast mother of 32 years to Joseph (Lo-Anne) Chan. Doting and cherished grandmother to Tyson Xavier Chan, Victoria Anastasia Chan, Theodore Jerome Chan, and Olivia Mackenzie Chan. Daughter to Yau-Hing Ngai. Sister to Kit-Ching (Siu-Ho) Chan, Kong-Sang Lam, John Wai-Sang Lam, and Lok-Sang (Helen) Lam. Aunt to Jessalyn Lam and Michael Lin. Predeceased by her father, Lok Lam; mother-in-law, Siu-Fung Lim; and father-in-law, Choi-Leung Chan.
Flora grew up in Hong Kong, where she was also born on August 26, 1959. She moved to Canada in 1985, after reuniting with and marrying her childhood sweetheart, Emil. They established deep roots in London, Ontario, where they were a regular presence at London Chinese Alliance Church. Flora’s selflessness, generosity, love of conversation, and passion for music will be sorely missed by friends and family.
Emil and Joseph took Flora out on a final outing on a sunny Easter Sunday, where she was able to take her grandchildren to the nearby park. She watched her grandchildren play on the playground one last time with her husband and son beside her; the same park she always took Joseph to throughout his childhood.
Flora was incredibly grateful for the efforts of all the doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals that cared for her. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Flora are asked to consider the London Health Sciences Foundation.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, April 18, 2021 from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London. Registration is required to attend the visitation.

Book of Condolences
Rose ChanI’d known Flora for over 20 years and she’s a beloved sister in Christ. She’s well-accepted as one of the most generous and honest souls we’d met. She’d opened her house to young, old and anyone in between. May her soul rest in peace! May the Lord console Emil, Joe, and her family whom she loved dearly. Flora would be missed dearly in our Christian community.
