In memory of

Lien Kim Thi Pham

July 7, 1953 -  January 1, 2023

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pham Thi Kim Lien. Kim Lien passed away peacefully at her home on January 1st, 2023.

Kim Lien was the loving mother of Lily, Oanh, Nhi and Minh; and proud grandmother of Marcus. Further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Kim Lien came to Canada in the late 1970s. She devoted her life to her family and put everything into raising and loving her four daughters.

Kim Lien was loved by so many people around the world and will be fondly remembered by family, relatives and friends as a loving mother, a kind and generous person; and a unique friend with contagious laughs. She was a strong woman who wore her heart on her sleeve. She enjoyed singing and watching action movies. A lover of orchids and a fantastic cook. She will be truly missed.

Thank you for everything yi lien, we love you and will always miss your kindness, generosity and love towards my mom, myself, and my two brothers. You would always cheer us up with your funny comments, laughs and yelling. We will miss that about you and your kind spirit in so many ways. I know that you dedicated your life to taking care of your 4 wonderful girls who have grown up to be amazing women through your love and guidance. For them personally, you will be truly missed, for they share the most memories with you and an unbelievable life together as a family in Toronto Canada. I wish I could have flown to Toronto to be with your family during this difficult time and the memorial ceremony, but unfortunately I won’t be able to, I am so sorry about that. But my mom and my uncle, will be there. I am so honored and blessed to have you as my Toronto aunt yi lien, and will be forever grateful for your love and kindness towards my mom and our family. Thank you so much yi lien, and may you forever rest in peace in the heavens above.
