Thien-Chiok Ting

Thien Chiok (Rosemary) Ting, 81, of Burnaby passed away peacefully on April 17, with her family by her side. Rosemary was born to the late Kwan Sau Kit and Ting Chiu Hing, April 22, 1940, in Sibu, Malaysia. She was married to Pak Hoe (Joseph) Wong in 1961 and they lived together in Hong Kong for thirty-one years before moving to Canada. Rosemary is survived by her husband Joseph, and she is the loving and devoted mother of her seven children: Kit Yu of Hong Kong; Claudia of Vancouver, BC; Eva of California, US; Mona of Richmond, BC; Hou Yan of Vancouver, BC; Louise of Singapore; and Selina of Burnaby, BC. She will be deeply missed by her five grandchildren: Kelly, Wesley, Darren, Athena and Viann; and two great-grandchildren: Malcolm and Jocelyn.

She was a dedicated mother and homemaker. She always put her husband and children before herself. Her life was a living example of one of her favorite Bible verses, Ephesians 4:32 - "And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ." All whom loved her dearly and will never forget her kindness, wit, charm, grace and undying love and caring for them. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
