Ann Yen-Hu Chow was born on April 10, 1920 in Chongming, China and passed away peacefully on September 10, 2025 in Mississauga. She leaves behind her sons Ray (and his wife Grace), Paul (and his wife Yu-Ling) and grandchildren Elayne (and her husband Greg) and Yvonne.

She lived a long life surviving difficult times during the war in China before moving to Peterborough, Ontario in the 1950's. Ann had a community of friends from China who also moved to Canada, mostly to Toronto. They shared many of her early challenges while in China. There were frequent happy gatherings when the Chow's drove from Peterborough to Toronto to get Chinese groceries. The children played while the adults would play bridge. Ann's generation came to Canada and raised many children who became very successful in a more peaceful and supportive environment.

Ann was of a generation that survived challenges that many of us will never face and might not appreciate, not having been there. She will be missed.
