It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Carmen Veronica Chin, on October 1st, at the age of 90.

Carmen was born in Jamaica, where she received her education and later married before welcoming her two sons, Carson (Liesa) and Kevin (Shelley). In the 1960s, she and her young family immigrated to Montreal, Quebec. With strength and determination, she built a career at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where she worked until her retirement. In 2020, Carmen moved to Ontario to be closer to her children and their families.

She will be remembered for her generous spirit and her love of cooking. Her kitchen was always filled with warmth, and her meals were her way of showing love. Her famous Christmas Cake, carefully baked and shared with family, remains a treasured tradition. Carmen also found joy in her crafts—sewing, knitting, and needlepoint—skills she practiced with pride and shared with others.

Carmen’s greatest joy came from her family. She was blessed with five granddaughters and six great-grandchildren, who lit up her life, especially through the photos of her beloved great-grandbabies. Her home was filled with their pictures, a reflection of how deeply she cherished them all.

Known as the life of the party, Carmen’s laughter was unforgettable and could fill a room with joy. She leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and generosity that will live on in all who knew and loved her.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to all who supported Carmen with kindness and care in her later years. Those wishing to remember Carmen may do so by sharing a meal, a story, or a moment of laughter with someone they love—just as she so often did.

A visitation will be held at the Turner & Porter Newduk Chapel. 1981 Dundas St. W., Mississauga on Wednesday, October 8, 2025 from 10:30-11:30am. A celebration of life will follow in the Chapel at 11:30am. Interment at Evergreen Cemetery. Donations may be made in her memory to the charities she supported, the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society.

Her love will remain with us always.
