Obituary for Ann Fung
Ann Fung, also known known as granny, Annie, Aunty Annie or just Ann. Born and raised in Charlestown, Georgetown, Guyana on April 8th 1941 to parents Percis Helena and James Arthur St Clair Bowen.
Ann began working as a teenager at the famed "Bettencourts" store in Georgetown and retired many years later from "Simpsons" in Toronto. Ann was stylish and loved being creative. She was well known for her macrame bags, ceramics, flower arrangements etc. However,she was especially well known for her cakes and cake decorating through the years. In addition, she loved her husband's hobby of photograpy and was frequently captured via his camera lenses. She was not afraid of voicing her opinion and even joined in picketing the Treasury back in the 60's(where Benjie worked). Whatever she took to doing she did with gusto and was frustrated when sidelined by arthritis that limited her abilities.
Ann was very proud of her grandchildren and their chosen career achievements. In spite of everything she might have been experiencing, she always closed a phone call with an I love you. Ann is survived by her beloved spouse Benjamin Fung, to whom she was married on Nov 11 1967 and passed away in his arms on Nov 7, 2022 at their home. She is also survived by their only child, Natalie Ann. Her grandchildren Zaria (Ron), Magdalen, Anderson and Rachel.
