It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Rose Lew Min Fong Wong (87) born in Hong Kong October 14, 1936 and died in Vancouver peacefully on August 22, 2024.
Rose was a devoted Catholic & spent much of her life (since 1955) fund raising and helped build St Francis Xavier Chinese Catholic Parish to what it is today! Rose was a very selfless person who kept on giving even to the end!
Her humble home was a stepping stone for her HK family & many new immigrant families & friends!
Rose was predeceased by her parents & 4 siblings and survived by her loving husband Peter FK Wong of almost 69 years, 2 sons Raymond (Cathy), William (Shirley) and daughter Helen (William) and 7 grandchildren Taryn, Benz (Lillian), Deanna (Dayleigh), Jacqueline, Alisha, Emma (Nicolas), and Emily.
Mom would like to thank her medical team at Mt St Joseph Hospital and all her family & friends who supported her through the last 2 months! Thank you to the Dogwood Hospice as well. May you all find comfort from all the wonderful memories you have of my mom! She is in a better place and in peace!
A funeral Mass for Rose will be held on September 5, 2024 at 10:30am at St Francis Xavier Parish,
438 Great Northern Way, Vancouver BC.
