She lived a life full of courage, resilience, sacrifice, and love. She is survived by sons Yee Set Man (Li Ai I) and Yee Wee Man (Li Mei Chang), both of Scarborough, and daughter Susan Hums (John, 1935-2013) of Newmarket, and an incredible legacy of 12 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends. Lan Thoon was born in Taishan, Guangdong province, China, the second of five children. In 1936, she married Yee Sing Lai; he passed away in 1955. Lan Thoon immigrated to Canada in 1981, reuniting with daughter Susan in Virginiatown, near Kirkland Lake in northern Ontario, for a brief period before settling with her sons and their families ‎who immigrated a year later to Toronto.
