Gek Mooi Sang (née Yeap)
September 16, 1947 - February 6, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gek Mooi Sang on February 6, 2025. She passed after a brief but intense fight from complications due to colorectal cancer at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. She was a beloved mother and grandmother, a cherished sister and loyal friend who will be missed greatly by all who knew her.

Gek was born the fourth of five children to Bee Eng and Kee Thian Yeap in the small town of Alor Setar, in Kedah, Malaysia. She was an adventurous soul who loved to travel and after finishing school in London, England moved to Toronto, Canada where she eventually met and married Henry Sang. They travelled extensively all over the world, trekking through Europe and camping throughout most of the United States before eventually settling and having two children, Sue-Jane and Wayne.

Through marriage and motherhood Gek fostered her love of travel in her children, while also providing a loving and warm home. While working full-time outside the home she always found time for bedtime stories, carting her kids from class to class, indulging her love of cooking, and spending time with close friends.

In her retirement she kept herself busy, volunteering at the seniors centre close to home, making new friends and keeping an active social calendar. As time went on she gracefully slid into her role as grandmother, showering her grandsons with unconditional love, treats and attention.

She is survived by her sisters, Jennifer Wycherley and Suraya Yeap, her son, daughter and son-in-law, Wayne, Sue-Jane, and Daniel, and her two grandchildren, Malcolm and Nathaniel.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, February 13, 2025 from 1:30pm to 2:30pm at York Funeral Centre, followed immediately by a funeral service (2:30pm to 3:30pm) at the same location and shortly after by a reception off-site.

A private cremation will take place at a later date.
