Born in Seremban, Malaysia, Yoon Moi worked in a shoe factory to support her large family. She emigrated to Canada in 1987 to join the rest of her family in Vancouver. Yoon Moi was an invaluable source of energy, patience and fun during numerous babysitting sessions for her many grandchildren. She had a special place in her heart for her grandson, Kevin.
Throughout her full and fruitful life, Yoon Moi enjoyed swimming, walking, and socializing with her many friends. She lived for many years with Rosemary and dog, Timi. She enjoyed entertaining and hosting her many relatives and friends at her home, including birthdays, holidays, and Chinese New Year.
Yoon Moi will be missed by all for her sense of humour, her memory and ability to recall stories from a bygone age. She will be remembered most as a gentle spirit, source of wisdom and experience, and for her endless amount of generosity. Yoon Moi remained alert and her memory sharp up until her passing in Burnaby Hospital, surrounded by family.
