Katie Wong

passed away peacefully on August 28, 2026. Born in Chinatown, Montreal, on June 28, 1927, to Harry Wong and Tew Lun Tsien, Katie was the second of eight siblings (Maisie, Dorothy, Henry, Stanley, Clifford, Warren, and Brian). She grew up in a bustling home surrounded by a small and tightknit community of Chinese families, and for five decades, was the beloved wife of the late Raymond Wong, with whom she traveled all over the world. Katie had an extraordinary ability to recount memories from her Montreal upbringing and loved bringing people together. She participated in a variety of community organizations and served as a founding member and President of the Women's Auxiliary of the Montreal Chinese Hospital. She loved stories, bookstores, a variety of Montreal institutions (including Gibby's, Schwartz's, and Snowden deli), and Tai Chi and line dancing with friends. Her extraordinary enthusiasm for life, incredible optimism, generosity, and exquisite grace will be missed by all those who knew her. She leaves behind her beloved son Raymond Martin (Dominique Lambert), her cherished grandchildren Nicholas (Catherine Fortin), Jayson (Nicole Trembath), and Stephanie (Justin Létourneau); her great-grandchildren Marybelle, Colin, Madeleine, Charlie, and Luca, who filled her with joy; her sister Dorothy, her brothers Warren (Claire), Henry (Denise) and Brian (Donna), and her many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly. Her family will pay their respects in a private service at Mount Royal Funeral Centre, from 10 am - 3 pm on Thursday, September 10th. Her family and friends are invited to her celebration of life at Dynasty Restaurant in Chinatown on Saturday, September 12th, from 12:30 pm - 16:00 pm. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to Doctors Gemma Chang, Dany Afram, Pavel Pertchenko, and Camille Cloutier, as well as the fantastic palliative care team at the CHUM.
