Rosanna Amy Wong

May 24, 1982 -  November 11, 2017

Rosanna Amy (Lew) Wong, age 35, passed away unexpectedly from postpartum complications on Saturday, November 11th, 2017 in Toronto, several days after the birth of her second son.

Rosanna was born in St. Catharines on May 24, 1982. She grew up in Calgary and Kuwait, and later graduated from University of Western Ontario, Ivey School of Business in 2004. On September 19, 2009, she married Canaan Wong, whom she met at Asian Christian Fellowship at Western. She welcomed her two sons, on July 7, 2014 and November 6, 2017, who were the biggest joys of her life.

Rosanna is survived by her husband Canaan Wong, sons Timothy and Joshua Wong, parents Daniel and Irene Lew, sister Jasmine Lew, brother in-law Jack Shuai, nieces, Samantha and Kaitlyn Shuai, many aunts, uncles, cousins and countless close friends.

Rosanna was known for her gentle spirit, immense heart for others, and dedication to her faith in Jesus. She made a lasting impact on all who knew her. Rosanna will be dearly missed.

I am so very sorry for your loss. It was devastating to hear such unbelievably tragic news about Rosanna.

I worked with Rosanna at SickKids Foundation and I absolutely loved working with her. Not only because she was talented, committed to the cause and extremely smart (her analytical mind impressed me in every meeting I had with her - and her work was flawless!) - but because it was an absolute joy to work alongside her. Her happy, calm demeanour and her warm, sunny personality brought so much to our team, and it was obvious how much everyone loved working with her. Rosanna was a treasured colleague and friend and she will be greatly missed.

My sincerest condolences during this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Hard to believe that Rosanna is gone. She was a wonderful and caring person to work with. She was a proud and doting mother and loved her family with all her heart. She will be greatly missed.

Rosanna (or Rosey as we all knew her) was someone who knew what it meant to be full of grace. You exemplified a simple heart that loved others and cared more about the journey than the destination. Your desire in life was to be an open vessel for Christ to use to bless others, and Rosey, you were. You were so loyal and loved Canaan and your boys. Your hugs were contagious, if you hadn't suffocated someone by the time it was finished. You will be missed by many but your impact on our lives will go on.
