白陳南璇原籍福建厦門，於一九六三年九月十一日出生在香港。家中排行第二，上有一姊，下有兩個弟弟。

南璇出生時，是一個重七磅多的小寶寶，從小就白白胖胖的，甚為可愛，尤得嫲嫲喜愛，兩嫲孫常一起吃零食。小時候的她已是個循規蹈矩，非常用功的好孩子。除了讀書有恩賜外，對音樂更是情有獨鍾。她會彈琴和唱歌，是天生的女低音。她還會跳中國舞。無論中英文，她都寫得一手好字。從嶺南學院畢業後繼續修讀師範課程，之後投身教學工作，成為小學教師。

南璇為人內斂孝順，而善解人意，她說話不多，是位好好的聆聽者。因她對人真誠，所以很受人愛戴。與家中的姐姐和兩個弟弟的感情都非常要好。

一九九零年與丈夫白正興結婚後移居加拿大多倫多。多年來堅持盡量抽空回港探望雙親和家人，盡上女兒的本份。而每次都為家裡每一個人精心挑選禮物，可謂無微不至。

她在加國曾從事移民顧問及其他工作多年。對工作盡忠職守，曾獲公司的 Top Sales Representative 大獎。

南璇生長於基督教家庭，三代均為虔誠基督徒。從小參加主日學和團契，長大後更熱心事奉。曾為崇拜司琴、學校及教會青年團契導師、詩班員及敬拜小組成員。

去年十月底發覺脊骨疼痛，影響右腳行動，至今年一月中確診末期結腸癌。經過半年與癌病糾纏，終於在本年六月二十日早上，南璇息了地上的勞苦和病患的煎熬，平靜地離世，安息在天父的懷裡。

Venus Pak, Chan Nam Shuen, was born in Hong Kong on September 11th, 1963, to a family originally from Xiamen Fukien, China. She was the second child with an older sister and two younger brothers.

Being a healthy and adorable newborn, weighing more than 7 pounds, Venus was doted on by her grandmother. One of their favorite pastimes was snacking on junk food together. Venus was a disciplined and hard-working child. She was gifted academically and was particularly passionate about music. She was a natural alto who enjoyed singing and playing the piano. She was trained in Chinese folk dancing as well. Venus also mastered penmanship beautifully, both in Chinese and English. After graduating from Ling Nam College and upon completion of the Teacher’s Certificate program from the College of Education, Venus pursued a career in education as an elementary school teacher.

Venus had a placid, empathetic personality and exemplified the virtue of filial piety. She was not much of a talker, but a great listener. Her sincerity towards others earned her much love and respect. Venus was exceptionally close to her siblings.

Venus and Daniel Pak married in 1990, and immigrated to Toronto, Canada soon after. Over the years, she made her best efforts to visit her parents and family in Hong Kong as often as she could. Her love and thoughtfulness towards her family were evident in how meticulously she picked out gifts for them every time.

While in Canada, Venus had worked as an immigration consultant and several other employments over the years. Due to her outstanding work ethics and dedication, she was awarded 'Top Sales Representative' by one of the companies she worked for.

Venus was raised in a family with three generations of devout Christians. She attended Sunday Schools and Fellowships regularly since she was a child. As she grew older, Venus became passionate about serving in the church. She had served as piano accompanist during worships, youth fellowship counselor at schools and churches, as well as a member of praise teams and choirs.

During late October last year, Venus started experiencing severe spinal pain which affected the mobility of her right leg. By mid-January this year, she was diagnosed with terminal stage colon cancer. After half a year battling with cancer, on the morning of June 20th, earth’s toiling and suffering ended for Venus. She passed away peacefully and is resting in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
