Born in Canton, China, Wai Han began a life journey that would span continents and generations. In 1960, she, her husband and their children moved to Brazil, where together they opened and operated a restaurant. The family immigrated to Vancouver in 1974 and opened a restaurant in New Westminster, where they worked side by side for many years until their retirement.

In her retirement, Wai Han embraced the simple joys of life. She loved singing and playing traditional Chinese instruments with her husband and friends in Chinatown. She cherished family vacations and especially treasured time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
