Young-Hee (née Kong) Yoon (1948-2024) passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 21 at Baycrest Hospital surrounded by her loved ones. Beloved wife of Richard for over 50 years. Loving mother to Esther (Edan) and Albert (Christine). Cherished grandmother of Jackson, Emmett and Zadie. Young-Hee will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Born just before the Korean War, Mom always sought education, adventure and love. A proud graduate of Ewha Womans University, she immigrated to Canada with her dear husband Richard and found work as a multilingual education consultant working with children from around the world. She loved art, culture, and cuisine which she explored through her travels inspired by the stories of the students she worked with. To be loved by Mom was a beautiful thing and we will miss that the most. Our family welcomes those who wish to celebrate the life of our mother to the visitation at 1:00 pm, on Saturday, June 1, 2024, followed by a funeral service at 2:00 pm at the Elgin Mills Cemetery, 1591 Elgin Mills Road E.
