In memory of
Siu Chun Jenny Yeung 楊馬少珍夫人
August 11, 1935 -
June 5, 2024
Jenny Siu Chun Yeung, aged 88, is our beloved mother and grandmother. She passed peacefully surrounded by her family and abundant love.
At a very young age, Jenny embarked on a solo journey to Hong Kong, seeking employment to support both herself and her family in China. Despite her limited education and skills, Jenny flourished in her job due to her diligent work ethic and aptitude for learning. Before long, Jenny met the love of her life, Peter, with whom she shared almost 60 years of their lives together. The two started a lovely family and a thriving business on their own.
Jenny dedicated her life to the success of her family. She would walk 2 hours every day to her kids’ school to ensure they can enjoy a homemade hot lunch. At home, Jenny was a teacher, a chef, a caregiver, a loving mother and wife. She was always the last one to sleep after making sure that everyone was nicely settled into their beds. Jenny was the backbone of her family.
Jenny was a person with tremendous courage and intelligence. In the early 80s, Jenny left behind her prosperous life in Hong Kong, opting for the promise of a brighter future for her children in Canada. This endeavour proved to be harder than expected. Jenny found herself navigating a new culture, learning a new language, discovering Western cuisine, and managing a restaurant business, all at the same time. Throughout these challenges, she never complained and maintained a positive attitude in front of her family.
In the past two decades, Jenny became a valuable member of the Yee Hong community where she forged a lot of new friendships with her exceptional social skills. She is well known and respected in the community.
Jenny is survived by her daughter (Shirley), two sons (Jimmy and Michael), and six grandchildren (Emily, Marian, Kyle, Ella, Cadence and Nicholas). Jenny served as an exemplary role model for her children, demonstrating resilience and positivity in the face of adversity. She was also a devoted wife and has now reunited with Peter. Jenny will be greatly missed by those she left behind.
