Teresina Ho Miu Sheung
July 13, 1938 – March 30, 2020
Teresina passed away in peace and tranquility on March 30, 2020 after Our Merciful Lord called her to His Father’s Heavenly Kingdom. She was diagnosed with cancer July 2019 just before her 81st birthday but did not allow this to stop her from living her remaining months to its fullest with joy and acceptance.
Born in Shunde, Guangdong in China to Ho Ying Cheung (father) and Ng Bo Yung (mother), she is the eldest of the five siblings and is survived by Natalia, Bernadette, Orson and Teresa.
Teresina spent her early years and childhood in Guangzhou and Macau. She graduated from Santa Rosa de Lima School (Macau) and immediately pursued her studies to become a registered nurse at the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital School of Nursing. Upon graduating, she began her career and life of service providing care in a number of Hong Kong hospitals. In 1976, Teresina decided to embark on a new adventure. She left Hong Kong and moved to Vancouver where she built a life and home during the next forty-four years. Teresina enjoyed Vancouver and British Columbia for its rich outdoor-life, explored other cultures and sights of the world with friends and family and was involved heavily with her community and volunteering with the Catholic Church.
Teresina was baptized December 8, 1966 and confirmed April 9, 1967 at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Hong Kong. She was a devout Catholic throughout her life and contributed endlessly to the Church and their missions. She dedicated her life to be of service to others in her personal life as she did in her profession and through her service, Teresina found kindred connections and life-long friendships. Her family is grateful to see that she always found love, support and blessings in her community while living abroad. Teresina will be dearly missed by her friends and loved ones and we celebrate her life and the joy and happiness that she brought to those around her.
