Nancy was a courageous, loving, and dedicated woman who devoted herself to public service. She worked tirelessly as a litigation analyst for the Federal Government and always made time for her family, her books, her cats, and her friends. She also volunteered with the Pacific Open Heart Association.
Nancy’s family roots began with her parents, mother Lily Lin Ho Chan and father Tom Gengsin Chan.
She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her sisters, Lila, Elaine, and Cynthia Chan; brother-in-law, Richard Farley; cousin, Biew Chen; niece, Shirley; and many other family members and friends.
Flowers and condolences may be sent to the family c/o Forest Lawn. In Nancy’s honor, donations may be made to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, designated toward medical equipment. We appreciate prayers for Nancy and her family.
