Fung

Vivian Siu Wai Fung was surrounded by family and her loved ones when she returned to the Lord peacefully on January 29, 2026, at Langley Memorial Hospital, at the age of 69.

Vivian was born in Macau, China, on August 06, 1956 and spent her early years between Hong Kong and Macau.  As a young adult, Vivian migrated over to Vancouver, Canada to start a new life alongside her father (Bing Nam Wong), mother (Sau Heng Wong) and 3 siblings (George, Alfred and Fanny Wong). Here, she devoted her new life to family, deeply rooted in faith, service, and kindness to others.  The extent of her love’s reach knew no bounds in all directions.  In 1980, she married Ron Fung, and together they started a family, which now include Camille, Gery, Gabriel, and Carl.

Vivian gave her life to Jesus and decided to be baptized on October 10^th, 1999, at Port Moody Pacific Grace M.B. Church. She devoted much of her life to caring for others. She expressed her love for art and beauty firstly as a seamstress, then as a florist at local flower shops, and then as a hair stylist, running a salon from her home.  Over time, she discovered a deep calling to serve the elderly and trained as a care-aid at a senior home. Even after moving on from her work as a florist, Vivian continued to serve others and by creating flower arrangements for her beloved church, a quiet but powerful expression of her devotion to God and her desire to serve.  Vivian led her life by example to those around her, demonstrating patience, understanding, and a wide-spread love greatly appreciated by those around her.

In February of 2011, Vivian was diagnosed with stomach cancer and began a long and complex battle that tested her physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Following major surgery, she endured an extended hospital stay of six months and faced a difficult recovery, including having to relearn how to walk.  Despite a very poor prognosis and being too weak to receive additional treatment, Vivian faced this season with unwavering faith, determination, and resilience because she knew she had so much more to give to this world. Against all odds, she experienced nearly a decade without cancer reoccurrence and lived extremely intentionally to serve God and others.

When the illness was suspected to have returned in the form of a blood cancer, Vivian continued to fight with strength for several more years. Throughout her illness, she remained deeply engaged in church life, family, and her community.  One example was when, after a miracle recovery, Vivian returned to her local senior home (Residences of Belvedere) to continue to care for the seniors, even taking long night shifts upon herself. This was an expression of her profound love for people and her belief in living a life of purpose as an example to others. Her faith was something she spoke about and lived daily, notably in the way she endured suffering with grace and how she encouraged those around her.

Faith was the foundation of Vivian’s life. She was an avid and devoted member of Port Moody Pacific Grace M.B. Church before and during her illness. Vivian was deeply involved in fellowships, volunteer work, and church events.  She was very well known for her beautiful floral arrangements that brought warmth and joy to church services, as well as for her sharing’s of her faith and journey during her fellowship gatherings. She was especially close to her brothers and sisters in Christ in her cell group.

Vivian had a love for music, art, and culture. She enjoyed expressing herself through many beautiful ways, including playing the guzheng, not only as a hobby, but to serve the church -where she would play for services and other special events. Other hobbies included rock painting, Chinese-calligraphy, reading scriptures, praying for those in need and travelling to see the world. Vivian perceived every day after her surgery as a gift from God.

Vivian will be remembered as kind, patient, calm, nurturing, persisting in all the best ways, everlasting, resilient, generous, devoted and strong (but humble). She was a mother, sister, friend; loved by all.  She had a positive warmth that made everyone feel welcome.  Humble and loving, she lived her faith through action and left a lasting impact on all who knew her and experienced her warmth. She always put others first and never expected anything in return. She lived with resilience, purpose, and intentionally to the fullest. She would hug those with not just her arms but with an embrace and comfort that extended above and beyond.

Vivian was predeceased by her parents, Bing Nam Wong and Sau Heng Wong, who she brought to Christ at Port Moody Pacific Grace M.B. Church. Vivian is survived by her former spouse, Ron Fung, as well as her children, Camille Beard, Gery Fung, Gabriel Fung, and Carl Fung, and her grandchild, Jayden Beard. Vivian is also survived by her siblings, George Wong, Alfred Wong, and Fanny Wong; and her sister-in-law Anita Lo.

Vivian’s immense love and joy was also shared with her beloved pets through-out her life. She was predeceased by Machi and Sumo and survived by Simba.

Vivian’s life was a testament to her love for God and her love for others. Her faith, perseverance, and selfless service will continue to live on in the lives she touched.

A memorial service will be held in her honour on Monday, February 09, 2026 at 11:00am at Port Moody Pacific Grace M.B. Church, in the sanctuary.
