Kim died peacefully in the palliative ward at Markham Stouffville Hospital on April 26th, 2024 at 11:42pm. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of nearly 60 years, Hugh, and their children Nathan, Tim, and John. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Avery, Cody, Aubrey, Jamie, and Laurelle. Kim grew up in Vietnam in a large family (her and three younger brothers) and will be missed by her two surviving siblings. Kim worked in language services as a French translator as well as an ESL teacher for new Canadians and was beloved by her many students. She will also be remembered by her church community where she taught Sunday school to pre-school aged children at Toronto Chinese Community Church. Kim also loved to travel and would enjoy sharing these experiences with friends and family. Kim was also very fond of striking up conversations with strangers who would enjoy her warmth and wit.
