Patty So Lan Gee (Fong), aged 76, of Kitchener, Ontario, passed away peacefully after a brief battle with cancer, leaving a profound legacy of love, dedication, and faith. Born in Hoi Ping, China, on March 29, 1950, Patty was a devoted follower of Christ who possessed a just spirit and cared deeply about doing what was right.
Alongside her husband, Paul Park Fai Gee, with whom she looked forward to celebrating their milestone 50th wedding anniversary, she was the true matriarch of her home. Her love was always active. She instinctively cared for those around her, stepping in to help before anyone even thought to ask. She surrounded her children and grandchildren with constant support and endless joy, and was a deeply devoted daughter who actively cared for her own father.
Patty is survived by her husband, Paul Park Fai Gee, and her father, Fook Ming Fong. She was the cherished mother of Jenny Link (Justin), Bertina Andrews (Jordan), and Andrew Gee. Her warmth and wisdom live on through her five grandchildren: Sarah Link, Michelle Link, Vincent Link, Katelyn Andrews, and Logan Andrews. She is also survived by her older sister, Judy Kwan, and her younger brother, William Fong (Iris). Patty was predeceased by her beloved mother, Shun Heung Fong.
As the quiet strength of her family, Patty’s memory will be forever held in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were blessed to know her.
