In memory of

Mew Chen Chu

September 24, 1932 -  July 28, 2021

Ms. Mew (Mary) Chen Chu (朱妙珍) was born in September 1932 in Shanghai. She passed away at the end of July 2021 from cardiac arrest, returning home to the Lord in heaven where she would also be reunited with her late husband Mr. Huan Min Hu. She is survived by her children Anne, William, and Ellen; and her grandchildren Clarence, Clarinda, and Jason.

Mew was a strong-willed yet tender-hearted person who looked out for her family and friends. She was the first person in her family to pursue a university education, and she assisted her husband in running his business. All the while raising three kids as the family moved from Shanghai then finally to Canada, her home for the last 37 years. Her tired heart finally gave out, having loved and cared deeply for those who got to know her, as reflected in her journals which she enjoyed updating regularly. Her writings included recollections of the good times she spent with others, and recently about how she longed to reconnect with everyone once COVID-19 is over. Though it is sad to see her depart, she is now resting in peace in a place with no sorrow or hardship. Her memories always live in our hearts.

"I thank God upon every remembrance of you." Philippians 1:3

You are invited to share your favorite memories as well as any photos and condolences to the memorial site as we honor her life.

Our deepest condolences. Although we never met your mother, but I can tell how wonderful she must have been just by knowing you. We reflect the best parts of our parents thanks to the loving way they raised us. Take comfort in your memories as you grieve.

Aunt Mew Chen came into my life when I was 15, when my parents were not able to be around me. Aunt Mew Chen was, at times like a mother, other times like a sister but most of the time she was like a friend to me. We shared our views, values and mostly we shared our good times. Aunt Mew Chen was a modest, yet highly spirited and positive person. She has left us with many happy memories and she will always be remembered. Anne, Ellen and Willian, our thoughts are with you, take care, and wish you all well and live happily for ever for your Mother.

珍嬸,
驚悉您提早走完人生歷程到達人生的终站! 我们曾经在電话中多次談論过人生哲學。您是一个勇敢的女士,不迷信,不信邪! 近年來您時時惦念您的姪女瑛瑛,如今您們可以重聚在一起! 願您們在那亇無憂慮,無恐懼,無病痛的極樂世界得以安息,永生!

Mrs. Hu always had a smile for you when you meet her. And when we talked, I felt a sense of calmness and peace because of her personality. One time, I was out in her backyard, she allowed me to pick a grown tomato from her garden. It was my first taste of the freshest tomato ever. I also recalled her being a wise women when she gave William and I a quick lesson on life when we got caught working a late shift one day. She happily came to pick us up in the wee hours so we can get home safely. The lesson was that it is the company’s responsibility to provide transportation . We were just dumb kids. Finally, just by observation, I could see how hard she worked to support and care for her family. And her hardwork paid off. She will be missed. Rest in peace Mrs. Hu.
