In the early hours of Monday, March 30, Lai-Man “Millie” Lau slipped peacefully into eternity with the Lord at the age of 93. During her final progression through a stroke and dementia, she was comforted daily by her beloved children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Lai-Man met life’s challenges with resilience, joy, and unwavering faith in Christ. She was a selfless mother of four and supporter of her husband, Tai-Han (Jan 8, 1922 - Apr 3, 2001), and his business projects. Lai-Man helped manage a wonton noodle shop in Hong Kong. Following their arrival in Toronto, Canada in 1978, she and Tai-Han transitioned to operating a business in food processing and employment in shoe manufacturing to provide for their family.
Post-migration, Lai-Man found solace and enduring spiritual community in the Toronto Ling Liang Church. She also provided essential childcare for her grandchildren. Lai-Man maintained an active social life, enjoying travel with her children and hosting banquets for family and friends well into her 80s.
Lai-Man is now reunited with her husband Tai-Han. She is survived by her younger sister Seen-Man “Margaret”, her children Diana (Joseph), Eddie (Foulata), Foley (Eva), and Gary (Cynthia); her grandchildren Louise, Joanna (Kyle), Bernice, and Megan; her great-grandchildren Benjamin and Levi; and close extended family members including her nieces Susana (Dominic) and Roselyn (Alexander) and their daughters Alexandria, Jessica, Eva, Elaine (James), and Jenny (Andy).
