Remembering our beloved colleague, Grace Chiu.

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our beloved colleague, Grace Chiu, on April 23, after a brief battle with liver cancer.

Grace was a valued member of our staff team for the past 14 years. Her presence brought warmth, kindness, and an abundance of joy to our workplace every day. She was not only a pillar of knowledge and expertise but also a source of friendship to each and every one of us.

As "Grand Central," Grace was the hub, the go-to person for guidance, advice, and a listening ear. Her wealth of institutional knowledge was matched only by her warm and compassionate demeanor. She was a resource for all the newer team members on complex fund agreements and complex gifts. She was a teacher and brought a calm and steady perspective to every problem. Grace served the Professional Advisor committee with dedication to excellence and handled all the wills and estate gifts received by the Foundation. She leaves a giant hole on our team and in our hearts.

As we come to terms with this profound loss, we will remember Grace for the incredible person she was—a compassionate friend, a dedicated colleague, and a shining example of love and kindness. Though she may no longer be with us in person, her spirit will forever live on at the Foundation, and in our hearts and memories.

To honor the legacy of Grace the Grace Chiu Memorial Fund has been established by her family at Calgary Foundation.
