Lisa YIP Obituary

Dr. Lisa Y-Yee Yip passed away surrounded by family on Friday, March 10, 2023, at the age of 53. A loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend to so many; she will be greatly missed. She was most known for her caring. Care for her family and friends, care of her patients and for her garden. Lisa had a love for many things in addition to her friends and family. She loved to travel, always looking for new places to explore. As a child, she was fascinated by culture and as a parent was excited to share these experiences with her sons. She also always loved delicious food. Her roots in Newfoundland gave her a love of seafood and her upbringing added other favourites such as egg tarts and BBQ pigtails. Lisa is survived by her husband John, two children Andrew and Alexander, parents Anna and Tony, brother Avery, and her flowers and vegetables in her garden.
Lisa's family will receive relatives and friends from 4 - 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener, 519-749-8467. Visitation will continue from 12 to 12:45 p.m. on Sunday, April 2, 2023, with a funeral service in the funeral home chapel at 1 p.m. Reception to follow. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the University of Waterloo WELL-FIT Cancer Exercise Program would be appreciated by the family (cards available at the funeral home).

John, Andrew and Alexander
So sorry to hear of Lisa´s passing. We will always remember her involvement as the "official photographer" at Lexington Public school and Waterloo Minor Hockey. She was always ready with a smile and a kind word. We know you will hold special memories in your hearts forever.

I am so sorry to hear of Lisa's passing. I taught Andrew for five years in enrichment classes, and Lisa was the world's best parent volunteer! She was a constant source of support and positivity for me and for Andrew's classmates throughout the years. An amazing photographer, Lisa shone in her enthusiasm for documenting special moments. She is the sweetest soul and brightened up our days. I have so many fond memories, especially our trips to McMaster and Laurel Creek. Lisa always jumped in to help others and to promote learning. I feel such sorrow for Andrew and the family. Sending you all much love in these challenging times. Andrew, my heart is with you as you work through the loss of your wonderful mother. I know she will be deeply missed by so many. Margo (Mrs. Cohen)

Our condolences! Our family has fond memories of Lisa's infectious positivity and always bringing treats to Fighting Flamingos hockey tournaments. True to Lisa's thoughtfulness and caring nature, she would always bring extra treats for the siblings of the players. There was nothing better than a smile and a cupcake from Lisa!
