It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Nha-Ling Jean Wong.
Nha-Ling will be remembered for her love of beauty, her kindness and the quiet joy she found in everyday moments. Her loving and forthright nature touched all who knew her.
She is survived by her loving sister Nancy (late Jack-You), brother Lance (Vivian), brother Donald (Liz) and sister Kaye. She will also be fondly remembered by her many cherished nieces (Connie, Ami, Kaila and Ziena), nephews (Garrett and Jacob) as well as her great-nieces and great-nephews.
Nha-Ling will be dearly missed for her warmth, her presence and the love she gave so freely.
The kind words, memories, and condolences shared have meant more to our family than we can fully express. It has been comforting to see how many lives she touched with her warmth, generosity, and quiet strength.
We would be honoured if you could join us for a Celebration of Life in her memory.
Date: Saturday, May 30, 2026

Such a terrible loss. Nha-Ling and i worked together at various media outlets over several decades. She was always quick with a smile and a laugh and made everyone who sat in her makeup chair feel special. She fussed over every detail to make sure you were at your best. Patient, dedicated and kind. My condolences to her family and friends and colleagues.

I am heartbroken. I had the pleasure of working with Nah-Ling many times over the years. Always a pleasure to be around. Her warm smile and sense of humor always lit up the set. This is so sad. She will be missed.
What terrible news and what a great loss.
Nah-ling was the most generous, talented, big hearted person, and a beautiful soul.
I loved working with her and she will be missed greatly.
Deepest condolences to her family.
