HUANG, Evelyn Sook-Yi (Lau) - Died at 11:42 p.m. on May 2, 2021.
She passed peacefully, with her four children by her side, after a long life of 81 years filled with courage, love, laughter, glamour, good food, and adventure upon adventure.
She leaves behind three daughters, Fiona (Luca), Anita, Jennifer (Oscar), one son, Gregory (Leslie), seven grandchildren, Liam, Gemma, Lida, Clara, Thomas, Ella, Marley, and one canine grandchild, Mia, as well as two sisters, Anna and Lana, and five nieces and nephews.
Evelyn was born in Hong Kong on December 27, 1939. She grew up in a large home overlooking the Happy Valley racetrack with her parents Sau-Lin and Yim-Kwong, three sisters, and a brother.
While highly accomplished, what Evelyn was most well known and loved for is her generosity of spirit, exquisite taste, and warm personality. Her charisma touched many, reaching far beyond her family and immediate circle of friends.
The eternal matriarch, she reunited her four children across borders, during a pandemic, to embark on her final and epic journey together. She fought a heroic battle during the last three months of her life in Toronto Western Hospital, where she received incredible medical care from Dr. Nielson, Molly, and the 5A team.
Her final moments were spent immersed in love and compassion and peace at the Loretta Anne Rogers Critical Care Centre at Toronto Western. Her family will be forever grateful to the medical team for giving us that time with her.
A virtual memorial service will be held on May 7th at 1:00 p.m. EST. Details can be found at humphreymiles.com.
The family asks those who want to express sympathy and pay tribute to her life to make a charitable donation to the Evelyn Huang Memorial Fund at http://support.tgwhf.ca/goto/evelynhuang, which was established to support frontline workers at Toronto Western during this COVID-19 pandemic.
