Yong Soon Kim

Dr. Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1934 to Kyung Yeop Ahn and Eib-Bun Chung. She was introduced to her late husband, Rev. Young Wha Kim, through a mutual friend. Their romance budded through written correspondence across the Pacific Ocean while she received her medical degree from Sudoh Women’s Medical College. She immigrated to the United States in 1964, where she was a practicing anesthesiologist in Philadelphia, PA. Upon her retirement at age 52, she pursued her true passion for financial investment, extending her generosity to family and friends. Dr. and Rev. Kim spent their final years in Houston, TX, where they enjoyed valuable time near close family.

Dr. Kim is survived by her daughter, Sheila, son-in-law Jeffrey, and granddaughters Samantha and Alexandra (Davis).
