Obituary of Mrs. Betty Ho-Tom

Please share a memory of Mrs. Betty to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

HO-TOM, BETTY (nee CHIN) [Chin Qing You] passed away peacefully on May 3, 2024, with her immediate family by her side, while under the care of the palliative unit medical team at the Markham-Stouffville Hospital. She was born in 1930, in Clarendon, Jamaica W.I., and has resided in Scarborough and Markham, Canada, for the past 40 years. She is survived by her loving children, Annette (husband Dennis Chang), Nicholas, Karen (husband Anthony Lue Tam), her cherished grandchildren Kyle, Sabrina (husband Julian Malixi), Tiffany and Harrison, her brother David Chin (wife Gladys), her nephew George Chong, niece Fay Chong Moore (husband Joseph Moore) and their respective families.

She is predeceased by her husband Dudley (Ho Nuk Lyn), her son Kenrick, and her sister Doris Chong, all whom she loved dearly as family was very important to her. Throughout her life, she fondly “adopted” many boys and girls with the aim of guiding them through their adolescence and young adult years with firm discipline and generously imparting her unique brand of wisdom.

Betty was fulfilled by her faith and attended Mass weekly until she was unable. May she rest in peace in the perpetual light of God. She will be dearly missed by all her family and friends, but she will forever be in our hearts and memories.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Markham-Stouffville Hospital Foundation would be greatly appreciated.
