It is with great sadness the family of Mrs. Hao Lien Luong, age 90, of Vancouver, British Columbia, announces her passing on Tuesday, May 5, 2020. Mrs. Luong was born on April 26, 1930, in Hai Phong, Vietnam.
Mrs. Luong was born and raised in North Vietnam. She was a civil war survivor and lived through many moments of hardship and resilience during her younger years living and raising her children in South Vietnam. Her job as a supervisor at a battery factory taught her much about how to manage, organize, and take care of her family during a time of war. After overcoming many challenges and difficulties in her early life, she set out to start a new life in Vancouver, Canada, in 1986. She worked endless hours in a textile factory until she retired in 1993. She was a very devoted and loving mother and grandmother to all her children and grandchildren. She will be forever lovingly remembered for her wit, intelligence, kindness, and zest for life, as well as her crafty sewing skills, her enthusiasm for Mah-Jong, and her joyous spirit when she sang.
Mrs. Luong was predeceased by her husband of 67 years, Luu Tin Minh, and her younger brother, Luong Te Ho. Mrs. Luong is survived by her oldest sister, Luong Xao Te (California, USA); and her younger brother, Leung Tak Piu (Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong).
