Fung Ying Chung

CHUNG, Fung Ying (née Kwan) With deep sorrow, we announce the sudden passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother on June 5, 2014, at the age of 88 (DOB November 30, 1926) in Burnaby, B.C.

Fung Ying was the daughter of the late May Sim Ho and Yun Tak Kwan from Guang Dong, China. She was married in Hong Kong in 1950 to her husband of 39 years, Fu Cheung Chung (deceased in July 1989). She was predeceased by her brother Chun Pang Kwan, and will be fondly remembered by her siblings, Chun Hung Kwan of Toronto, Ontario and Choi Yuk Kwan of Burnaby, B.C.

Fung Ying was a gentle woman with high respect for traditional Chinese values and Buddhist beliefs. She was a loving wife, a caring mother and the family’s graceful and peaceful matriarch for 25 years, following the passing of Fu Cheung. Fung Ying lived her early life in Hong Kong and moved to Canada in 1980, settling in Vancouver and moving to Burnaby in her later years. Many cross-country trips to Ontario were made to spend time with her children and grandchildren.
