HAYES, Lesley J

March 15, 1959

February 4, 2023

With deep sadness, we announce the unexpected passing of Lesley Jean Hayes, 63, at her Port Coquitlam home on Saturday, February 4th, 2023.

She was a loving mother, a caring and generous sister, a cousin and a true friend. Lesley was a beautiful and sweet person, and her passing is a devastating loss for everyone who knew her.

She leaves her two sons, Kevin Chong and Brandon Chong; sister Sheila Hayes (Steve); brother Ken Hayes (Lisa, Matthew, Nevada); cousin Evelyn King (Sandy, Jill, Alex); and other extended family and many dear friends. She was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Ella Hayes.

For over 30 years, Lesley felt honoured and immensely satisfied to provide help and comfort as a care aide to the people at Hawthorne Senior’s Care Community. She made many longtime friends there, and in her retirement, she often went to visit along with her beloved puppy Misa. Her bighearted, kind and generous presence will be greatly missed by the residents, her colleagues and her friends there.

Lesley’s biggest joy and deepest love were for her sons, Kevin and Brandon. Being their mother was the most cherished role in her life and one she excelled at. They were her bedrock of happiness, and she was enormously proud of them. She was excited about the bright future.

Lesley was a lovely soul, and we know her eternity will be blissful.

Love you, Mom.
