In loving memory of Sung Sook Haslett (nee. Chun)
Sung Sook Haslett (nee. Chun), a retired database administrator, passed away peacefully, lovingly surrounded by family, on March 24, 2025 at the age of 76 in Markham, Ontario.
Sung is survived by her husband, Craig; her daughters Colleen and Danie; her sister, Sung-Hee; her brother and sister-in-law, Joong-Hwan (John) and Jae-Jo (Jenny); and her niece and nephew Anne and Philip. She is predeceased by her brothers, Joong-Sik and Joong-Yoong; and her parents Chun Tae-Gwan & Lee Book-Sool.
Sung was born in Seoul on October 4, 1948. She graduated from university in Seoul and moved to Canada in 1973. While adjusting to life in Canada, she divided her time by working and attending Ryerson University.
She met her husband, Craig, while working at the Hudson Bay Company. Craig and Sung were married in November of 1986 and welcomed two daughters in August 1991 and January 2004. Sung was a devoted mother and avid gardener. When she wasn’t working, she enjoyed spending time with her family, gardening, cooking Korean food, watching Korean dramas, listening and singing along to music, reading, travelling and spending time with her dogs and birds.
Sung was a responsible, strong willed, fiercely independent woman, who skillfully overcame many challenges in both her work life and personal life. She was a hard worker, who thrived under pressure, and dedicated many of her working years to the Hudson Bay Company, Ontario Hydro, TTC and William Mercer, to name a few.
Sung retired in the summer of 2013 and had survived a brain aneurysm in December 2015. She had a few good years following the aneurysm, and was later diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2020.
Sung will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her.
