Charmaine Kelly Mo Yiu So, born on November 25, 1984, embarked on a beautiful journey of life. Her story was enriched by cherished memories, educational pursuits, a fulfilling career, and, above all, her deep love and dedication to her family. Charmaine's childhood in Hong Kong was marked by love, support, and the nurturing care and guidance of her parents, Stephen So and Catherine Fok, as well as her sister, Monique So.
Her childhood was adorned with the delights of traveling to many parts of the world and discovering her culinary passion. Her educational path began at Marymount in Hong Kong and later brought her to Moscrop Secondary School in Burnaby (2001), where she entered into her life adventure and met her husband, Jimmy Au. Completing her English and Economics studies at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and then receiving her Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) designation, she embraced new opportunities in her career, moving back to Hong Kong to pursue a career in accounting (2008). Later, she returned and worked for several organizations, where she had the privilege of meeting some of the most incredible people.
Charmaine's true pride and joy came from her role as a loving and devoted mother to her three cherished children, Abigail (7yo), Isabelle (5yo), and Valerie (2yo). Over the course of her 9-year marriage with Jimmy Au, her unwavering commitment to her children’s well-being and happiness remained steadfast. She created a home filled with love, laughter, and support, cherishing every moment spent with her beloved family.
Though always carefree and joyful, Charmaine's final journey exemplified unimaginable strength and resilience during the last two years when life challenged her deeply. She faced those challenges head-on, demonstrating her courageous determination to find happiness and joy, not only for herself but also for those around her. Her vibrant signature and contagious smile became a symbol of her inner strength and courage.
As we gather to remember Charmaine, let us celebrate the richness of her life, her smile, her selflessness and the boundless joy she brought to those around her.
May her remarkable life inspire us to embrace our own journeys, facing challenges with strength and resilience, while prioritizing the love and joy within our families, just as she did.
Although Charmaine may no longer be with us, we know that her life will continue to shine brightly, guiding and inspiring all whose lives she touched. Charmaine’s love and the profound impact she made on her family and loved ones will always be in our hearts.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared below for the family.
