Maqing's obituary
Maqing Pan passed away on August 29th, 2021 from complications that arose from a brain tumour recurrence.
Maqing was born in 1963 in Xiaoshan, China. Graduating university at 20 years old, she became an English teacher at Hangzhou Foreign Language School (HFLS), kicking off a lifelong career in education. HFLS was also where Maqing had met Hongmao Yang, a fellow teacher, and they wed in 1986, going on to have twin daughters in 1994. In 2006, Maqing and her family moved to Canada and were welcomed by All Saints. Restarting life as a new immigrant was not easy, but Maqing persevered through odd jobs and additional education. She became a beloved Montessori teacher at Westboro Montessori School, where she worked from 2009 until 2019.
Maqing will be dearly missed by her husband, Hongmao; daughters, Dora (Jiwon) and Mary (Arda); parents, Youkang and Shuizhen; sisters, Maling and Xing, her extended family and friends, her church community, and her many students and colleagues throughout the years. Donations in memory of Maqing can be made to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada.
