Wai Ning Winnie Fok 霍何惠寧

母親於1957年5月18日，與父親霍镒浦結為連理，婚後相夫教子，服侍婆婆，也每週偕同子女回外家探望父母及弟妹，閒時更帶同一起外遊。

父母育有兩女兩子，分別為懿錕，錫沂，汝錕，錫楷。父親在外資公司工作，而母親喜愛縫紉，又善於投資理財，感恩生活無憂，在1977年舉家移民温哥華。

母親幼年曾因戰亂而要避走回去鄉間，生活艱難，外婆要以耕種編織為生，年幼的她要和外婆用木筏運載稻草，掘野生番薯為食糧，還要照顧兩位弟弟。因此經常教導我們要珍惜食物。

母親身體健康，很少病痛，尤其聽力和視力更是得天獨厚，唯晚年食慾不振，以至身體日漸軟弱，出入醫院數次，於今年11月6日在子女孫兒們的陪伴下安息，結束90有多在世的年日。

慈愛的母親，我們永遠懷念您！

Our mother Winnie Fok, whose family is originally from Nanhai County in Guangdong Province, was born in Hong Kong in 1934, the eldest daughter of Yau-Tong Ho and Yau-Shun Choi. Virtuous and intelligent, she graduated from Tai Tung Middle School and had planned to pursue further studies in Taiwan. However, as her parents were reluctant to let her go, she ultimately remained in Hong Kong to take care of her parents and younger siblings.

Our mother married our father Michael Fok on May 18th, 1957. They raised four children together: Yvonne, Kenny, Yolanda, and Dick. The two of them would spend their time taking care of us together, visiting her own family every weekend, and occasionally going on family trips. Our father worked for a foreign importing/exporting company, and our mother was also skilled at making investments and managing finances. Our mother loved sewing, and was grateful that she was living a stress-free life. In 1977, our family immigrated to Vancouver.

When she was young, she had to flee to China with her family because of the war. Life was hard for her and her family, with her mother farming and weaving items to make a living, her and her mother using wooden rafts to transport straw, having to dig up wild sweet potatoes for food, and at the same time, having to take care of two of her younger brothers. Because of her childhood experiences, she always reminded us that we should be cherishing our food.

Our mother enjoyed good health for most of her life, was rarely sick, and had exceptional hearing and vision. However, in the past year she had begun to lose her appetite and her body started to gradually weaken. She was admitted to the hospital several times, and peacefully left this world at 90 years old on November 6th, 2025, with her children and grandchildren by her side.

We will deeply miss our loving mother and grandmother.
