Daphne Maria Chung
elevated 1PdLU Daphne Maria Chung (née Lyn) went to her eternal home on January 19, 2021 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She is survived by her loving husband of 67 years, Albert, her four children Norman (Brigitte), Richard (Dawn), Josette (Bill) and Maureen (James), grand-daughters Natalie, Stefanie (Brandon), Sasha ( Christian) and Zoe, and great grandchildren Jaden, Kaitlyn, Addison, Teague, Tova and Nash. The eldest daughter of John and Vivienne Lyn, Daphne was affectionately known as ‘Moy’ or ‘Ah Sow’ to her extended family and friends.
elevated 1PdLU Full of energy and zest, Daphne would light up a room with her radiant smile and warm hospitality. She was famous for her cooking and baking, especially making Jamaican treats like Solomon Gundy and Christmas cake. Sweet/sour duck and Pork/Yam were Chinese New Year dinner favorites. She was always curious and eager to learn something different, whether it be a new craft or hobby such as crocheting, gardening, flower arranging or cake decorating.
elevated 1PdLU Daphne developed a love for travel early as a travel counsellor that continued in later years. Either through FAM travel, group tours or with her husband, Albert, she was a seasoned traveler. Getaway reunions with her sisters were famous for late nights and stories that caused the belly to ache from laughing.
elevated 1PdLU Daphne was a devout Catholic member of the Good Shepherd Roman Catholic Parish. She was always proud of her Jamaican Chinese heritage having matriculated in 1948 from Immaculate Conception High School (ICHS) in Constant Springs, Jamaica.
Daphne was passionate to assist ICHS with the Water Harvesting and Sewer Management System (WHSM) project. https://www.ichsaatoronto.com/whsm-project

My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your mother.
Dear Mr. Chung and family:
our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Daphne. May she RIP.
God Bless,

When I moved to Jamaica in 1979, I was a frequent guest of the Sisters of Saint Francis, who lived on Drumblair Crescent in the home of Albert and Daphne Chung. Years later I met her in Toronto and then again in California when she came to help her sister recover from heart surgery. I found her warm, radiant, and charming. She could cook. May she enjoy the heavenly banquet
Our deepest condolences for all the Family over the loss of such a significant and important person in your lives. There not much someone can say to ease your feelings but keep in mind that she’s with Our Father now. Stay strong for each other and be safe.
Albert and family. Please accept the deepest condolences of your Brothers at Good Shepherd council 8340 of the Knights of Columbus. Daphne will be in our prayers.
Daphne was a very special person, she is surely in Heaven smiling down on you all.
Our sincere sympathy and deep condolences.
Albert and family – so sorry for your loss. Daphne always “lighted up the room” and had a gift for making every one “feel special” Daphne was a great listener – and would give the person speaking her complete and total attention. I will miss our “chats”
Our deepest sympathy to Albert and all the family on the passing of dear Daph. We will miss her infectious laugh and fondly remember her visits to Florida in past winters.
May you rest in peace.
Beverley, Angella and Grace

Dear Uncle Albert & Family,
We have just been watching the burial ceremony via webinar. It was indeed a very warm and emotional sendoff.
Please accept our deepest sympathies and keep your spirits up.
Kind regards, Kay, Rod, Mike & Katie.
My deepest condolences to the entire family. I knew Daphne from Good Shepherd. She would sit with my dad for mass while I was in the choir. I would often see them deep in conversation before and after mass. Daphne would speak so highly of her family and was so proud of them all. She was so sweet and kind with such a warm smile. God bless.
We will miss Daphne. She had a kind and generous nature. We always felt very welcomed while visiting and she’d never let us leave without giving us something to take home. I still use her tips when cooking to this day, who wouldn’t like to learn form the best cook. Albert, you and your family are in our thoughts, take comfort in the sweet memories you’ve accumulated over the past 67 years.
Dear Albert and family, we can’t express the deep felt sorrow we feel on Daphane’s passing. Many years ago she gave us a bun for Easter and it was the best. I have used her recipe every year since then. She always talked so kindly about mom and dad. She was always understanding and forgiving. She is dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Junior and Ruth
Dear Uncle Albert, I was speaking with my Doctor a few weeks ago about Aunt Daphne. The last time I saw her was probably the late 60’s, early 70’s when she visited us at Sheppard Avenue West, when she brought ingredients for a delicious meal she cooked for our family, and how I felt her kindness inside. As I was sharing this with my Doctor, I cried. Kindness always touches the heart. Uncle Albert… “May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face and my the rains fall soft upon your fields, until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of His hands. Sincerely
Angela-I just picked up this message. Can you please call me at your convenience? Uncle Albert
