Selina Suk-Yee Ho (née Chu)
Selina was born in Hong Kong and moved with her young family to Edmonton, Alberta, in 1974.
Through discipline, perseverance, hard work, and much love, she helped build a legacy of family and friendship that continues to inspire and comfort those whom she has left behind.
She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Oscar; her son Frank, and his wife Marry; her daughter, Laura, and her husband Craig; and four grandchildren: Mackenzie, Hanaye, Jordanne, and Dylan.
One of Selina’s passions was community service. For more than 25 years she volunteered at CCI-LEX, teaching English to newcomers. And since 2018, she was a volunteer Aquafit instructor at the YMCA of Northern Alberta (specifically the Jamie Platz Family YMCA), having first been a student of the program where she overcame her fear of swimming.
In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask that you consider making a donation to either the CCI-LEX (www.cci-lex.ca) or the YMCA Northern Alberta (www.ymcanab.ca) in Selina’s name.
Thinking of you and the family at this very difficult time. Hugs are sent to you. Dianne,George,Blair znd Heather.
“My dearest friend Selina is a woman of genuine warmth and sincere kindness. She carries herself with an elegant, graceful poise, yet her heart is humble and giving. She is always ready to lend a hand, dedicating much of her time to meaningful volunteer service—teaching English and swimming to those who would otherwise go without. Her selfless spirit and generous heart are a true inspiration to everyone around her.”
Selina lived a remarkable life. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
Dear Oscar and family

It was a shock to hear Selina’s passing, which saddened me tremendously. I will remember her with her infectious smile kindness and hospitality. My deepest condolences to Oscar and family
I’m so sorry to hear of Selina’s passing. She came to my yoga classes at the YMCA for many years and we kept in touch after I left the Y a few years ago. She was a very kind, sweet lady and I’m happy I had the opportunity to know her. She was like a ray of sunshine. My thoughts are with you all.
