With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Ngoc Lan Hoang, who peacefully passed away at the age of 102 years old on February 19th, 2025.
Born on March 15th, 1922 in Ha Dong, Vietnam, Ngoc Lan lived a long and fulfilling life. In May 1987, she migrated to Canada, where she built a loving home and dedicated herself to her family. She was a devoted wife to Chan Minh and a caring mother to six children (four sons and two daughters).
She leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion, survived by 14 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
Some of these are specific facts unknown to most but what is known by all whom have had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with Ngoc Lan is that she was kind and warm, giving and selfless which is not difficult to imagine with how she presents to the world in her petit stature and that youthful twinkle in her eyes. Do not get confused, she was relentlessly tough, hardworking, courageous and absolutely respected by all.
She had this wonderful side of her that was goofy and spirited. She would continuously poke fun and pulled unexpected pranks - you can literally picture her wiping tears of laughter from her tightly shut eyes, her mischievous ‘cackling’ smile and highly pronounced cheekbones, barely able to speak words to unveil her own joke because she would be laughing too hard to herself. She entertained us, always.
She was unassuming, someone who was seemingly modest, quiet and doesn’t seek attention but upon more careful consideration she actually loved attention and oh did she receive a lot of it from all, whole-heartedly and deservingly. She was especially shown genuine love and honour by those who lived close by, and she was taken care of in her latest years, right up to her last days. We will continue to send you kisses, endlessly.
“A-Poh/A-Mah” is for grandmother...she was everyone’s grandmother. Thank you “A-Poh/A-Mah” for blessing us and being ours. Ngoc Lan will be dearly missed but forever remembered in our hearts.
