It is with heartfelt sorrow that we announce the passing of Jim Hoi Mah on February 26, 2025 at St. Paul’s Hospital. Jim left us peacefully surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his wife Yuet, his children Shirley (Morris), Douglas (Karen), Jean, Henry (Erika), and his grandchildren Steven (Jessica), Mathew, Jennifer, Jordan, Paul and Keegan.
Born on April 30, 1936 in Guangzhou (Canton) China, he was the youngest of Bark Chong Mah and Tuo Bo Wong Mah’s three children. He immigrated to Canada in 1953, married Yuet in 1958 and began their journey together living in Dawson Creek BC, Edmonton and finally settling in Saskatoon. Jim’s careers include working in the restaurant business, trucking industry, and market gardening (Coronation Gardens). In retirement, he kept busy with his many projects around the home and making memories with family gatherings.
Jim battled COPD for many years, never complaining as his health declined. He will be dearly missed by his family and we take comfort he is resting in peace. We are grateful to the medical and nursing staff whose care and support made it possible for Jim to be home with his family for the past year.
Jim was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and uncle. He cherished the times spent with his children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by all.
In lieu of flowers, please make a memorial donation to St. Paul’s Hospital, Lung Saskatchewan or to a charity of your choice.
