It is with broken hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Winnie Yuet-Wan Wong following a courageous battle with lung cancer, on Sunday, February 5, 2023, age 59, at home with her husband, Bruce Marshall, by her side. Winnie is the beloved mother of Liza and Ella, daughter of Sam (deceased) and Wai-Fong, sister of Barbara and husband Andrew, and Daniel (deceased) and wife Flora. Daughter-in-law of Bob and Lois Marshall, sister-in-law of Sean and wife Kalpana, and Philip and wife Melodie. Dear aunt of Benny, Dennis, Melissa, Nisha, Milun, Cole and Brayden and great-aunt of Derek, Kristen, Curtis, Ryan, Evan, Cam, Aidan and Charissa.

Winnie was born on January 29, 1964 in Hong Kong and moved to Canada with her family at age 3. She grew up in Brockville Ontario where she attended Westminster Public School and Thousand Islands Secondary School. Winnie is a graduate of York University with a degree in Economics and Mass Communications. She began her career in Australia and the UK, facilitating worldwide re-branding for BP Oil. Over the next two decades Winnie succeeded in brand management for companies such as Procter & Gamble, Swiss Army and Eddie Bauer, luxury goods retail with Holt Renfrew, and commercial real estate and customer experience for Cadillac Fairview. Most recently, she was Head of Marketing for International Franchising Inc., an entity of Serruya Private Equity (YogenFruz). Of late, Winnie also shared her vast experience and knowledge as a marketing instructor at Seneca College. Her upbeat personality and consummate professionalism are remembered fondly by her colleagues.

Winnie loved to explore different cultures and traveled extensively in Asia and Europe. She was also a devoted mother, always very involved in her daughter’s activities, whether driving to skating lessons or being there to support at school events or recitals. Family and friends played a large part in Winnie’s life and she was well known for being at the centre of her numerous friend groups – once you were Winnie’s friend you were a friend for life. Winnie will be missed for her smile that could light up a room, her infectious laugh, her kindness and the love she freely shared.
