Her unwavering support encouraged them to rise above challenges, and their accomplishments brought her immense joy.

In addition to being a cherished wife and mother, Seong Hui was a devoted grandmother to 10 grandchildren and great-grandmother to 4 great-grandchildren. Her family continues to honor her legacy by striving for success, always keeping her belief in their potential close to heart.
