Ki Ok Bang passed away on April 13th, 2024 at the age of 83. After battling Alzheimer’s for 6 years and a massive stroke that paralyzed the left side of her body for almost 4 years, she in finally resting in peace.
She was born on September 29, 1940 in Seoul, Korea and was the 3rd oldest of 8 children. Ki graduated from the Ewha University Nursing School in 1963, got married to Duck Bang on June 4, 1969 and gave birth to their first child, Jennifer, on October 3, 1970. She immigrated to the United States with her husband in 1971, leaving Jennifer behind to be cared for by her mom and siblings. She gave birth to a son, Edmund, on May 5, 1972 and Jennifer came with her grandmother from Korea to join the family soon thereafter. Ki worked as a nurse in the United States until she retired in 2005.
Ki was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to many. Her life was always centered around family. She loved making the people that she cared for happy and had the gift of hospitality. She smiled a lot, even on her final days. She was a perfectionist, especially when it came to cooking and cleaning. Her biggest joys in life were the moments she spent with her grandsons.
Ki is survived by her husband, Duck Bang, her daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and Paul Cho; her son and daughter-in-law, Eddie and Jihyun Bang; and 5 grandsons, Matthew, Isaac, Jacob, Alex and Andrew.
