Shuk Yue Ho was born October 24th, 1928, in Hong Kong. She was the 4th child to 6 siblings, 2 brothers and 4 sisters.

During the war, her schooling stopped at grade 5 and she sadly lost both parents and all contact with her siblings except her oldest brother, Stephen Ho. In 1946, Shuk Yue married Chiu Kwong Chow who was a work colleague to Stephen. In the following 10 years, they had 3 children together: Lily, Stephen, and Belinda.

They decided to finally leave Hong Kong in 1978 and immigrated to Canada to join their children and two grandchildren. Shuk Yue was a housewife and would devote the rest of her life to taking care of her husband, children, and grandchildren.

Shuk Yue and Chiu Kwong made many new friends in Canada after joining the Scarborough Senior Chinese Association. They took numerous trips to China with these friends and enjoyed singing and performing on stage with the Chinese Opera class.

Shuk Yue was great in cooking, sewing, knitting and of course playing mahjong, her favourite hobby. She would win almost all her games and even named herself Irene (I win!) as her English name.

On February 14th, 2024, Shuk Yue passed away peacefully at Mon Sheong LTC with family by her side. Forever loved and will always be remembered.
