It is with great sadness that we announce May Hok Jang, aged 65, has passed away on April 29, 2021.
May was born on November 25, 1955 in Hong Kong. She moved to Canada in 1974 to start a new journey in her life, where she would live in Duncan for 16 years, later moving to Chemainus and then to Victoria to be near her children.
She was very strong and independent, never afraid to take on new experiences. She opened many businesses on her own, without the knowledge or experience but was always willing to learn. We are very proud of her strength and courageousness. Cooking was one of her passions. She loved to cook, collecting many cookbooks to build her personal recipes. She also loved to travel, especially flying back to Hong Kong to visit her family.
May was a kind, thoughtful, and loving soul. She will be greatly missed and will forever be in our hearts. May’s final resting place is at the Mausoleum in the Royal Oak Burial Park.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Sister May,
You are the best . Rest in peace
Dearest May,
You are always in our hearts
When my father told me the news, I was shocked but respected your decision. I wish you all peace in heaven, we miss you.
Aunt May,
I’m sorry that I didn’t come to see you one last time. I know you wouldn’t blame me for that as we are always in your heart. It’s heartbreaking to let you go. I can’t imagine going to Victoria again and not seeing you. Every time I came to Victoria, you gave me the warmest welcome. I still remember the time that you comforted me with a big hug when I lost my grandpa. You were so excited to show me your home city when I came. Even it’s just a small city but your existence made it big enough for me to stay.
I know you’d hope that I can live a fullest life and I promise you I will. Words can’t explain how great and how nice you are. You will always stay within our hearts. We will definitely meet again in the unknown future. I will always love you and keep our memories deep in my heart.
Dear Auntie May,
Wish you pain-free in the better place
Rest in peace
Jeanette and Steve,

From your Mom’s cousin in Vancouver
Jeannette and Steve,
I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a special person and you guys are very special people. You have all been through a lot and I’m proud at how strong and together you have both been. Keep looking out for each other. Make sure to keep the good memories in mind and share stories with each other and your whole family as a way to honor her memory. She was always very nice to me and I have a lot of good memories of times that we shared.
Stay strong and you are in my heart for sure.

My Dearest Aunt May,
I will never forget the time we had in 2019’, the last conversation on 28 April 2021. You only start a new life in other place, we will be together again some day.
We miss you and we love you forever!
I never had the opportunity to meet May. I am fortunate enough to have known her daughter Jeanette for several years. Through Jeanette I heard many stories showing May’s strength and charming character, I felt like I knew May well, and felt privileged to hear these stories and considered her a part of my life.
Jeanette I am sorry for your loss, it is everyone’s loss. Your mom was a blessing who touched many people.
Mom, I love you and miss you greatly. Rest in peace
