In memory of

Rose Bing-Wo

June 5, 1928 - July 26, 2016

It is with great sadness that the family of Rose Bing-Wo (nee Long) announce her passing on Tuesday, July 26, 2016, in Toronto, at the Scarborough General Hospital, due to complications of kidney disease. Rose passed away peacefully, leaving her husband Norman, daughters, Sandra (Douglas Gilbert), Carolyn (Egon Ivanusa), and Janice (Peter Keller), sister Carolyn, brother Fay (predeceased), brother Joe (predeceased), sister Nellie (predeceased), sister Mabel (predeceased), sister Anne, brother Walter (predeceased), brother Norman (predeceased), along with many nieces and nephews.

Rose was born on June 5, 1928 in Blackie, Alberta, raised in Canton Province, China, and returned to Canada as a young woman after World War 2. She met Norman in Alberta, who was working as a surveyor, and she was working in a lab. After the family settled in Toronto in 1958 and while raising 3 daughters, she eventually worked as a manufacturing operator, and became a professional hair dresser, owning her own salon. She had a passion for hand made crafts including knitting, crocheting, sewing, origami, needlework and cooking. She will be cherished and loved in the lives of her family, and deeply missed. A celebration of her life will be held at the York Cemetery, 160 Beecroft Rd, North York, on Thursday August 4, 2016 at 2:00 pm. Visitation from 1:00 – 2:00 pm. Those who so desire may make memorial donations in her memory to the Scarborough General Hospital Foundation.

She has always been a good aunt to me. She took care of me when I visited Canton, China. I was very little then. She used to take me to little side trips together with her friends .

When she came to Hong Kong. I was a teenager. She taught me a lot of things that a teenager should know.

Now in Canada, she was very good at crafts, origami, beading , especially knitting. She knitted a lot of vests, sweaters, figures, etc.

I will always remember her generosity and beautiful smile .
