Fung Chi Lam passed away peacefully at St. Michael’s Hospital on Friday December 17th 2021. She was born in Guangdong province, Zhongshan city, Shekki subdistrict in 1941, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Post World War II, she alternated between her parents' respective homes in Hong Kong and in Macau. Toronto has been her home since 1969.

She is predeceased by her parents, Kim Wan Chan and Yeung Moon Yiu as well as her beloved husband, Yiu Tong (Tony) Lam. She leaves behind her daughter, son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter and grandson. She will be missed by her sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nephews and nieces in Canada and Belgium. She will also be deeply missed by her aunts, uncles, and cousins in Australia, the United States, England, China as well as her dear god brother in Hong Kong.

Fung Chi loved how food brought people together. She learned how to prepare large communal meals for her extended family from an early age. Her Cantonese cooking was enjoyed by her own family, relatives, and friends of her children.

She was a dog lady who used to go for walks in the park as her excuse to meet the neighbourhood canines. When she finally became a dog owner, it was Snowy who owned her. Not the other way around.

The role that brought her the most joy was that of grandmother, aka Amah. It was a blessing that one of the last visits with grandma involved homemade pizzas, apple crumble and green tea ice cream.

To ensure safety and health, only a small gathering of family members will be in attendance at the funeral. The family encourages mourners to stay at home as we wish everyone to stay safe during this very difficult time. A livestream of the funeral service will be available to those who wish to participate.

In lieu of flowers, we encourage you, if you are able to, make a donation to the Alzheimer's Society of Toronto or charity of choice. If you are inclined, learn how to make a new-to-you Cantonese dish. Or tell a kid how much they matter to you. Or tell a canine what a good dog they are.

Rest in peace, Mama Lam.
