Amanda was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on May 08, 1940. She came from a large family and was the 2nd eldest among 15 siblings. She had a passion for helping others and briefly pursued a career in nursing. After Amanda married David Lim in 1957, she gave up her career to become a homemaker.
Amanda and David were blessed with two children, their first son Peter and their youngest daughter Camellia. Family and friends knew Amanda to be an outgoing, kind and caring person. She was a beautiful woman and very trendy dresser for her time. On her spare time, she enjoyed gardening, sewing, shopping and socializing.
In 1972 she was introduced to Christianity. Shortly after, she came to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized along with her husband. She was a devoted follower who brought her parents and her siblings to church so that they would know of his love.
Amanda’s son went to study overseas in Canada (Winnipeg, MB) and eventually in 1992 she immigrated there with her husband and daughter. She became a grandmother to three children, Magdalena, Victoria and Thomas Lim. In 1994, she and her family decided to move to Vancouver, BC. Most of her later years were spent providing love and care for her grandchildren. She prayed regularly and tried to establish good relationship with those around her. She often talked about her brother and reminisced about her youth.
For the past three decades, she had been diagnosed with high blood pressure and Type II diabetes. Later on, she was diagnosed with dementia. It became difficult for her to manage self-care and she moved into a nursing home. Amanda showed tremendous strength and will power up until the end.
Through God’s grace and blessings, she returned gloriously to the Lord Jesus Christ on the evening of March 21st, 2018. Her final resting place is at Ocean View Burial Park with her beloved husband David Lim (1934 - 2007).
Amanda's favorite bible verse - Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law”, and Amazing Grace is her favorite hymn.
林李玉英(Amanda)女士1940年5月8日出生於馬來西亞吉隆坡市,她來自一個大家庭,在十五兄弟姊妹中排行第二,她有著一份幫助別人的熱誠,並以護理為她的職業,於1957年與林世健(David Lim)先生結婚後放棄她的工作成為家庭主婦。
蒙神賜福,林世健和玉英伉儷育有兩名兒女,大兒子祖輝(Peter)和小女兒詠薇(Camellia),家人和朋友所認識的玉英是一位外向、親切、體貼和關心人的人,她更是一位很美貌的女士,並穿著入時,在她閑餘的時間,她喜愛享受園藝、縫紉、逛公司和參與社交等活動。
1972年她被介紹認識基督教,並很快的她接受主耶穌基督為她個人救主,並與丈夫一同受洗見證信靠基督的信心,她是一位很敬虔的基督信徒,同時也帶領她父母、兄弟姊妹到教會,讓他們認識主耶穌基督的大愛。
玉英的兒子祖輝後來到了加拿大曼尼托巴省溫尼辟市求學,並最終於1992年與丈夫及女兒移民加拿大一家團聚,後來並成為三個內孫:大孫女林思欣(Magdalena)、二孫女林嘉欣(Victoria) 及小孫兒林詠濠(Thomas) 的祖母。1994年她們一家人遷至卑斯省溫哥華居住,她後來將大部份時間以愛心和細心照顧幾位孫兒和家人,並與家人建立一非常好的關係,並不時與家人分享她年少時和兄弟之間的很多故事。
在過去的30年,玉英被診斷患上高血壓和第二型糖尿病,後來更被診斷有腦退化症狀,這讓她有困難照顧自己,所以後來她遷至護理院居住,但她仍然表現很堅強的能力和意志,直到最後。
因著神的恩典和賜福,於2018年3月21日晚上蒙主耶穌恩召永遠與主同在,並與至愛的丈夫林世健先生(1934-2007)一同安息在主懷中,長眠於卑斯省本拿比海景墓園內。
聖經加拉太書5章22-23節「聖靈所結的果子、就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節制.這樣的事、沒有律法禁止。」是玉英最喜愛的聖經章節,而「奇異恩典Amazing Grace」是她最喜愛的一首聖詩。
