Lan passed away at home where she wanted to be in Saanich, British Columbia, on Apr 6, 2020, after an unfair struggle against cancer.
Survived by spouse Brian Haug, father Lawrence, mother Betty, grandmother May, grandmother Yeh, brother David (Carolina), niece Rafaella, and nephew Leonardo.
Lan was born in Taipei, Taiwan, on Nov 8, 1979, and immigrated with her family to Canada as a young girl. She attended school in Toronto then Vancouver, obtaining her bachelor’s degree from UBC. She met her sweetheart Brian in 1999 and moved to Victoria where they made their home together and Lan found her career as a financial planner with RBC.
Lan was pretty, charming, and sweet, a lovely soul who saw the best in everything and everyone. She thought of others before herself. Her bright, ready smile and easy laugh brought light to any gathering. Her memory will forever be held close to all our hearts.
Deepest thanks to many friends and loved ones for their gifts, food, messages, and visits, and to the amazing, kind caregivers of Victoria Hospice and Saanich Community Health. In lieu of flowers, donations in Lan’s honour may be made to the BC SPCA (where she found faithful Lola) or to Victoria Hospice.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 8, 2020 at 2:00 pm in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, Victoria BC. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the service will be limited to immediate family and invited guests only. All others are invited to attend virtually via Zoom by clicking on the link below.

I only met Lan twice through the Royal Bank but she made such an impression on me she was so kind and such a happy person. Rest In Peace Lan. Pam W.
Dear Lan’s family, I am sorry to learn of Lan’s passing. She was my childhood friend and she was in my elementary class in Richmond. I know she was well liked by everyone, and known for being so friendly and kind. I remember her long beautiful hair, which was cut short one day, and we tried to console her because we knew she missed her long hair. By the end of the day, she was back to her sweet, smiling self. Everyone just loved her. I recall that her older brother gave his Nintendo and games to my younger brother, who got a lot of enjoyment from it. All good memories of a simpler time. Unfortunately I lost contact with Lan after she moved away to Burnaby. I always meant to reconnect with her later when we were older but I regret I never did… I am so sorry. Sincere condolences for your loss.
Brian,
I am deeply saddened to hear you have lost your partner Lan. I am blessed to have met her. I will remember her kind and gentle soul. She made this world a better place.
