Melanie Elizabeth Hoo-Fatt, age 55, passed away peacefully on September 28th, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.

Born on March 26, 1970 in Jamaica, Melanie lived life with rhythm and grace. She was best known for her infectious smile and laugh and an unwavering passion for dance and curling.

Whether she was gliding across the floor to the beat of salsa, swaying with elegance in a hula performance, or sweeping the ice in a curling match, Melanie brought joy, laughter, and light-hearted competitiveness to everything she did. Her love for movement was more than a hobby—it was an expression of the joy she found in everyday life and the connections she built along the way.

Melanie was also a beloved, sister, aunt, friend, who made time for her family and friends. She inspired those around her to live fully, love openly, and always say yes to a new adventure. Melanie will be deeply missed but her spirit and joy will live on in loved ones she leaves behind.

She is survived by her mother (Sylvia Hoo-Fatt), brother Adrian Hoo-Fatt (and Diane, Gabriella, Gavin), sister Cheryl Tsang (and Samuel, Aidan, Wyatt), sister Jamie Chou (and Alex, Dylan, Maddox) preceded in death by her father Hector Hoo-Fatt.
