It is with great sadness I said my final good-bye to my
beloved sister (Deanna) May Chow on December 12, 2024.
May was born and raised in Trail, BC where she worked
as a receptionist at City Hall after high school. She
later moved to the Vancouver area working for UBC,
the church and finally BCAA until her retirement. May
was a very proud and independent person but she
was also an extremely loyal and true friend. She was a
very kind person who always put other people’s needs
before her own. Her great sense of humour made fast
and lasting friendships. She loved dragon boat racing,
tai chi, reading, and animals – especially cats.
She was an avid Canucks fan.
Five years ago, May moved to Prince George after
being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. There are so
many people to thank for looking after May’s needs:
the Northern Health social workers, care workers
and nurses, the staff of Two Rivers Lodge, and the
caregivers and nurses of Simon Fraser Lodge. A huge
thank you goes to Doctor David Shepherd for his
compassion and care. I was very fortunate to be with
and for her in her final years.
May was predeceased by our mother Mabel and father
John and brother Dick. She is survived by her sister
Jeanie, sister-in-law Ying, nieces Cindy and Jennifer
(Fraser), great nephew Logan, and nephews Gerry (Lily)
and Bryan.
May played the hand she was dealt with courage and
acceptance and without any complaints. May she rest
in peace. She is so missed.
No service by request.
