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.

We only just heard about losing May (who we always affectionately called ‘Aunt May’). She was a lovely person who radiated with warmth and generosity. Our lasting memories of Aunt May will be of visiting her at her store in Chemainus and how delighted she was to see family and friends and her waving goodbyes until we were out of sight. Her smile always brightened the whole room.
Our family sends our heartfelt condolences to Jeanette and Steven. No matter how old we are, it is never easy to lose a parent.
Love,
Bing Jang and family

Dear Aunt May,
I often recall when I went to Victoria and met Aunt May, she always treated me like her close family and took care of me. That was a wonderful act of kindness which I will never forget, and which demonstrates the type of person that Aunt May was.
My sincerest condolences on passing of your mother.
She was very special woman, and she will be missed by many.
May She Rest in Peace.
Jeanette and Steve
