May Yuk Sham passed away peacefully on the evening of June 15th, 2025 at Mackenzie Health Richmond Hill Hospital, with her family by her side. She was 85 years old.
Born in Hong Kong on April 5th, 1940, May Yuk dedicated the early part of her life to caring for others as a registered nurse at Kwong Wah Hospital. In 1969, she married Shui Chun Sham, and together they built a life centered around family, commitment, and quiet strength.
In 1986, May Yuk immigrated to Canada with her husband and two young children. She embraced her new life fully, becoming a devoted homemaker and nurturing her family with love and selflessness. After her husband’s passing in 2001, she continued to provide constant support and stability to those around her, never wavering in her devotion.
May Yuk will be remembered for her kindness, her gentle but determined spirit, and the care she showed to everyone she encountered. She had a deep appreciation for life’s simple joys—good food (especially Shark Fin soup and Abalone), playing puzzles on the iPad, listening to music, traveling, and eating with friends and family. She especially enjoyed morning exercises with her local group at Pacific Mall, followed by dim sum lunches filled with conversation and laughter.
Above all, May Yuk was a dedicated mother and grandmother. She is survived by her daughter Vincy Sham, her son Franklin Sham, and her two beloved granddaughters, Selene and Jasmine, who brought her tremendous pride and happiness.
May Yuk leaves behind a legacy of love, generosity, and quiet strength. She will be dearly missed and forever remembered by all who knew her.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 28 at York Cemetery & Funeral Centre, 160 Beecroft Road, Toronto. Visitations will start from 1:00pm. The Funeral Services will begin at 2:00pm, and the Burial will take place at York Cemetery following the service. A consolation meal will follow at The ONE Fusion Cuisine, 9019 Bayview Ave, Unit 9, Richmond Hill at 4:00PM.
