Obituary of Bebe Famida Baccus

It is with profound sadness that the family of Bebe Famida Baccus, aka Moon, announce her passing on Saturday December 16, 2023. She passed away peacefully with her family by her bedside at the Village of University Gates.

Moon is survived by her 8 children Ajib, Sahib, Shakila, Haseeb, Fazila, Saeed, Zahid and Zamila, 4 daughters-in-law, 3 sons-in-law, 25 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Abid Baccus, and parents Mohammed Ibrahim and Irene Ibrahim and her son Rahid Baccus.

Moon was born February 15, 1935, in Port Mourant, Guyana. In 1981 Moon, her husband, and their children immigrated to Cambridge, Ontario to embark on a new chapter of their life in Canada. She took great pride in taking care of her family and home and became famous for her signature dish of Chow Mein. Moon will ALWAYS be remembered for her heart of gold, her beautiful smile, and her love for sharing memories. She loved to have music playing in the house and always had a playful attitude towards her grandchildren.

She will be greatly missed and will forever live in our hearts.

Special thanks to all the staff at the Village of University Gates, Matthew Neighborhood.
