Chan Yip, Tacoma, WA—It is with great sadness that the Tacoma community mourns the passing of Chan Yip, a beloved grandmother and devoted member of the Tacoma Cambodian Evangelical Church. Chan Yip passed away on Friday, October 25, 2024, with her loved ones by her side after facing health complications from a stroke and brain hemorrhage.
Remembered for her kind heart and gentle spirit, Chan Yip was known for her unwavering loyalty and the warmth she shared with everyone around her. Her presence in the community and church touched many lives, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and laughter. She is survived by her six children—Choum Toun, Choam Toun, Chek Toun, Charm Toun, Naykea Toun, and Bunthoeun Toun—as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will cherish her memory.
A fundraiser organized by Maly Phon on behalf of Rebeca Le aims to support the family with funeral expenses, uncovered medical bills, and related needs during this difficult time. Out of the $7,000 goal, $1,530 has been raised so far, with generous donations from friends and family. Nancy Le contributed $1,000, while Yoo-Ri Cho, Andres Vazquez, Nicole Castanares, and Lori and Sung Kim have also extended their support.
Community members have expressed their heartfelt condolences on social media. Morrison Sounsidara shared, “Please help us honor our beloved grandma with the 98 wonderful years filled with love, grace, and laughter. She is loved by many. Forever in our hearts and cherished for eternity.” In a touching message, Charm Toun added, “I miss you mom.”
