Pearl Yi Ping Tang

May 13th, 1931 – November 4th, 2021

It is with heavy hearts we announce that Pearl Yi Ping Tang passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on November 4th, 2021.

Pearl was born in Ki Ping County, China on May 13th, 1931. Having a teacher for a father meant that Pearl would graduate high school; only one of three girls to do so from a class of 500 students.

She married Tze Chun Glen Tang on April 15th, 1955, in Hong Kong. Pearl and family immigrated to Canada in 1959. Glen and Pearl started the Cameo Café in Watrous, Saskatchewan in 1969 and ran it with great success until 1981. They retired for a couple of years then opened the Sincere Restaurant in Humboldt, Saskatchewan in 1983 with Pearl’s brother Bing and his wife Florence. Pearl and Glen finally retired in 1996 moving to Saskatoon and enjoying many years with Pearl’s mother, siblings, their children, grandchildren, and many friends.

Mom always had a smile on her face, meeting life with kindness and fortitude. Mom had a wicked sense of humor. She loved her family and friends; her cooking skills were legendary! She was the rock of our family and will be missed fiercely.

Pearl is survived by her husband Glen, children Eric (Delphine), Cathy (Carson), Jean (Don) and Betty (Conrad), her siblings Bing (Florence), George (Edel), and Lily (Joe), her grandchildren Jeffrey (Chris), Janelle (Ryan), Kimberley (Glen), Steven (Danica), Samara (Cole), Rachel, Madison, Aislinn, great grandchildren Warner, Camilla, Celina, Weston, Liv, Alex, Bryant and numerous nieces and nephews.

Pearl was predeceased by her parents Ta San and Yek Seen Chu, brother Art and his wife May Chu and infant brother Bak Fu.

The family wishes to thank three very special caregivers, Arlene Oledan, Fe Enriquez, and Lorna Crausus for their unwavering kindness and care of Mom during this past year. We wish to also thank the staff and care givers at Luther Special Care Home for their kindness and care of Mom over the past two months.

There will be a family only memorial service at Mourning Glory - Acadia McKague’s Funeral Chapel, 915 Acadia Drive Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on Wednesday, November 10th, 2021 at 1:30pm. As per COVID-19 rules, please wear a mask and obey the distancing rule where applicable. Flowers are welcome as Mom loved flowers. Donations in Mom’s honor can be made to a charity of your choice.
