The family of Wai Shan “Violet” Poon sadly announce her passing on April 4, 2023. Violet was born on February 24, 1936 in Hong Kong and trained and worked as a nurse in the United Kingdom. She moved to Canada in 1968 and spent her career as a registered nurse at Shaughnessy Hospital in Vancouver. Violet loved nursing and made many lifelong friends while working. Violet also loved her cats and was a very attentive cat-mom.
Violet enjoyed knitting, going out for tea and walking around her Kerrisdale neighborhood. She loved talking to her many friends on the phone every day. Violet was kind, independent and always generous.
We are grateful to and wish to thank the staff at Seton Villa Retirement Centre, George Derby Centre and Burnaby Hospital for supporting Violet as her health deteriorated over the past year.
Violet loved the Lord and was a long-time member of Collingwood Baptist Church. We thank the Collingwood family for their prayers and visits. Violet will be missed but we are comforted by knowing that she is now with her parents, siblings and her Saviour.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.forestlawn-burnaby.com for the Poon family.
