Kyong Hui Jones

Kyong Hui Jones of Costa Mesa, died on August 1, 2021 at the age of 67 at Keck Medical Center of USC in Los Angeles. Born in Gwangju, South Korea, to Lim Jong-guk and Kim Soon-nim, she was the oldest of seven siblings. Being born the eldest daughter of a large family, she was strong, kind, driven, patient, generous and responsible. She loved to learn and always wanted to further her education. After graduating high school, she worked as dress maker during the day and attended classes at night. While traveling at a temple called Songgwangsa in Seungju, Jeollanam-do, she met her future husband, Ken Jones. She took a leap of faith and moved to Costa Mesa, raised a family and resided there until her passing. She loved nothing more than being a mom to her daughters, doting on her grandchildren and being an active member of her church, First Korean Baptist Church of Irvine. She was a woman who fiercely loved God, her family and friends, and fancy skincare products. She was always thoughtful and careful with her words and actions, and loved with a quiet strength that will always be remembered by those who were loved by her. Her fondest memories were of traveling; singing in the church choir; family vacations camping and fishing; working alongside her friends at Edwards Lifesciences for the last 21 years; karaoke; and taking long walks in the Back Bay. She was the most giving person you could ever meet, throughout her whole life, she always gave to others so they would not have to go without. Kyong is survived by her six siblings in South Korea Lim Soo-il, Lim Ran, Lim Myung-hee, Lim Mal-soon, Lim Su-jin, and Lim Hoon; her two daughters, Tanya and Laurie; stepchildren, Kenny and Gina; grandchildren, Huen, Annemarie, Kennedy and Carter; five step-grandchildren; and three great step-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ken. She is our angel and she will be missed by all she touched.
