Goodbye to a Downtown Matriarch: Moon Mah   

  Moon Mah - Wei's Western Wear

(Aug. 26, 1930-Jan. 24, 2013)

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Moon Mah, beloved mother, doting grandmother and all around good person. Moon passed away peacefully Wednesday January 23, 2013, at the Red Deer Regional Hospital at the age of 82. Moon was a loving and passionate woman whose greatest love in life was her family and the business she helped found 60 years ago. For the last 40 years, or as long as anybody can remember, Moon sat on her perch at the front of Wei's Western Wear greeting customers and guarding the till. Moon was synonymous with the business she helped start with her husband Wei and when she was healthy; she was always at the store, every day, all day. Moon came to Canada in 1956, following Wei who arrived in 1951. Life was not easy in those days for an immigrant family in rural Alberta, especially ones who were trying to learn a new language and adopt a new culture. However, both Wei and Moon were determined to achieve the "Canadian Dream" where hard work, determination and sacrifice were sometimes rewarded.
