With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Mae Yung (Mae) Draker, beloved mother, sister, aunt, and friend. Surrounded by her family, Mae passed away peacefully at the age of 71 at the Civic Hospital following an unexpected brain injury.

Mae was an inspiration and a role model to her two daughters, Stephanie (Randy) and Jessica (Joshua). She will be dearly missed by her brothers and sisters, Bun (Yan-Qing), Mae-Hah, Mae-Ling (Ron), Hazel (Per) and John (Christine), her nieces and nephews, Zi-Ann, Geoffrey, Nathan and Rachel, as well as many other family members and friends.

Mae will be remembered for her infectious laugh, zest for life, story-telling, cooking, and her passion for travel. She enjoyed a very rewarding 37 year career with Royal Bank in Ottawa and cherished her many friendships with colleagues and customers.

I'm so sad to hear about Mae's death. She raised two incredibly wonderful women to be strong, successful, and kind. I will never forget Mae's dumplings, her laughter and love of travel, including collecting all kinds of trinkets, even a hookah or two. I will always remember Mae's speech at Jess's wedding, genuinely touching. My thoughts are with your family.

We were so very sorry to hear about Mae' passing. We had such wonderful times with her on all our trips when she joined our group, the latest being our week in Jamaica in June and our Asia cruise in February prior to that. We chatted a lot on the Asia trip and got to know her so much better then. We shall certainly miss her, but we pray that she will receive everlasting peace and happiness in a better place.
