Janet passed away peacefully on August 07, 2017 in Vancouver, B.C. at the age of 76.
Janet was born and raised in Hong Kong. She had a successful career as an educator at Chan Sui Ki (La Salle) Primary School until her retirement.  In 1991, Janet and her family moved to Vancouver, British Columbia.  While she was living in Canada, Janet dedicated a lot of her time in volunteering work.  She was one of the original Green Coats volunteers at the Vancouver International Airport.
She also volunteered at the K.O.M. Community Policing Centre and the Mount Saint Joseph Hospital Gift Shop.

As a devout Catholic, Janet was a long-time active member at Saints Peter and Paul Parish.  She will be lovingly remembered by her service, generosity, determination and strong faith in God.

The immediate family of Janet would like to express great appreciation for the kind and professional care over the past months by the staff at Saint Paul's Hospital and the BC Cancer Agency as she courageously battled against her illness.  The family would also like to extend their utmost gratitude to all of Janet's friends (far and near) who offered compassionate support to her spiritually throughout with constant prayers, encouragement and acts of kindness.
