She was a very responsible and dedicated worker and had several jobs over the years, sometimes having several jobs at once. But above all, KiSoon was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was a very loving and caring person that would do anything for her family and friends and always put others before herself. She was very supportive in her children’s and grandchildren’s endeavors. The births of her grandchildren and great grandchildren were some of the happiest days of her life, and she loved nothing more than to spend time with them. Her family meant the world to her and there was nothing she wouldn’t do for them. She also enjoyed cook-outs, birthday parties, holiday gatherings, camping trips, going to the beach and trips to Disney World with her family. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed making big meals for her family. She always welcomed everyone into her home and enjoyed sitting around the table talking and laughing for hours with her family. She had a great sense of humor, loved to laugh and always had a beautiful smile on her face, making everyone else around her smile and feel comfortable. She also enjoyed walking, gardening, knitting, playing cards, watching movies and most of all caring for her grandchildren. The time that KiSoon’s friends and family got to spend with her was a gift. She was an intelligent, strong woman with an enormous heart and will be greatly missed.
